Hmm....use two full vacation days to sit around and freeze/burn up when those days could be used on actual vacation, or lining up to buy pins originally meant for Cast Members only but now being hawked to anyone willing to pay a membership fee...no thanks on either.

Well 16 said BT and 9 said both so that is 25 people. That's 50 sets or 1/6th of the entire release.

I think a lot of the newer presellers underestimate how many local pin collectors want these and they aren't going to be as easy to get as the other recent releases. The Valentines boxes were example of this. The real pin people waited 40+ hours for those suckers and now Rapunzel/Flynn has 47 trading. It sells for like $65. Kevin was 1 per person and many went to non-pin people and has 35 trading and sells for $120+ and was released a month after the V-Day pins. So more pin people get pins, lower price and more trading on pinpics. Random people get pins, fewer for trade and higher price.
I think these BT's are going to more pin people than profiteers so I think there will be more trading them and more in the pin community than the random strangers just doing it for eBay or for resller friends. I am interested to see how the market changes. When presellers can't deliver and people get refunded there will be fewer sets for sale than refunded sets because the real pin people won't necessarily cash in right away and will keep them to trade for grails. If the price goes up, presellers will refund their first sale and relist after they used the prebuyers money to buy the pins. But I think it will go down and then slowly climb individually at different rates. I think there will be a little rush at the beginning of the few sellers that will only list once they know their inside 150. Then there is another little rush when they're actuallys old and people who wait to have them in hand list theirs. The prebuyers that get refunds have to gauge when to jump in. Like I said, should be interesting. Adds another chapter in my Pin Economy Startegy 101 book I'm preparing for future generations once I get approval to teach the class at Cal State Fullerton. haha.
 
There's no way I can afford to take time off of work to stand in line for pins. :(
 
I can't believe people would presell them, use the money, and then resell them higher. That is about the crappiest thing I have heard in awhile. People suck sometimes. I hope the nice people win in the end here.
 
currently: 19% say BT.... But 63% say niether....

We need some more so cal folks to put in their votes. lol

I set it so that no-one can see who voted for what, on purpose. Didnt want folks who voted for one or the other releases getting PM bombed with trade/purchase requests.
