Hidden Mickey Alphabet

[SwindonTinkerbell]

Hey guys last night i won a bid of the complete set of the Disney Pin Hidden Mickey Alphabet and was just wondering do any of you have this set but also was thinking of putting my innitials on my lanyard and have them not for trade do you think this is a good idea or not ?

1. Did you win it on ebay?
2. Is it the 2011 Hidden Mickey alphabet series from DLR? Where A is Alice, B is Baloo, C is Cheshire, etc.? Did you know that these have been scrapped?
3. I collected my initials but I don't put them on my lanyard.

If you have enough of the letters, spell your name
I heard that these were heavily scrapped.... I have the S, Simba, but I didnt want to try for the others. It would be cool to have the whole set though. I hope they do more of these, maybe with glitter XD

Yeah it is n yeah i did get from ebay and it would be slightly hard to spell my name as i have 2 m's in my name but what do you mean by they have been scrapped ?

 

[disneykitty24]

Scrapped means they are, hate to say it, fake. Usually hidden Mickey pins are scrapped and then traded in the parks, so lots of people end up with fake pins. You can tell sometimes by the colours, the smoothness of the pin, the markings on the back. You can find out lots about scrapped pins on this forum, and if you go to pinpics.com, you can look up pins and find out the "scrap" rate. Ebay is a prime place to buy big lots of pins (usually hidden Mickeys) Hopefully you got a legit set post a ic

You will have to read that on pinpics about them being scrapped

 

[SwindonTinkerbell]

When they arrive i will post a picture to show you guys

 

[tiggermickey]

Good idea,and then we will see if they are real or fake,for your sake I hope they are all real

 

[SwindonTinkerbell]

Sometimes the price gives it away.

 

[SwindonTinkerbell]

Something did feel a bit dodgey but read the sellers review thingie if you get me and with positive feed backs i went for it

 

[Jazzy B Bunny]

How much did you pay?

 

[SwindonTinkerbell]

Yanno what i cant remember as was on the boufriends account and dont dont know his pass or anything

 

[SwindonTinkerbell]

I just done a comparison picture to picture from the evay image i saved to the pics on pinpics cant tell the difference much because of the camera angle and the lighting but they do look the same but cant say 100% til i get the pins

I have found that to be the toughest set so far to complete with authentics. Just down to finding an authentic Y. I sincerely hope you were are to find a set of real ones.

 

[SwindonTinkerbell]

So do i as if they are fake will be complaining to the seller and would request money back as i purchased authentics not fakes

 

[shooting4ownhand]

Get the pins first. If they are fake, contact the seller and demand a refund. If they refuse, you will have to open a case with ebay.

You need an authentic Y? I have a few. I just need L, O, A, N to complete my alphabet.

 

[SwindonTinkerbell]

I will be getting the pins first as want to see if are legit as i will be very upset if they are fake

 

[SwindonTinkerbell]

Hey everyone they have just arrived not happy with horris for sure as you can see the backd are soft they feel thin as anything lets see what you guys think

 

[Mermaid's_grotto]

You need to take a closer picture of the pins and of the back of them too, this will help others compare.
There are people in this part of the forum who also give great advice http://disneypinforum.com/forumdisplay.php?32-Pin-Comparison
Good luck!
