2017 Pin Releases
Shan Yu looks amazing. I still occasionally buy pins for my Mom's Mulan collection, even though she is no longer here, and that is one I would love to add.
 
New Tangled Valentine's pin announced :D

WDI (Walt Disney Imagineering) pin photos are taken from an internal Disney website, you can only access it if you are a CM and on the Disney Intranet.
There are actually clauses in contracts about sharing the pictures (and selling the pins for profit) but people do it anyway.

DPF follows the rules and doesn't allow people to post the pictures though :)

Technically, these pins are only available to cast members, not the general public. So when they release images before the merchandise it's technically "privileged" information, and Disney is very protective of it.

Don't worry! I did the same thing too not long ago, and I've been here a while. XD

In order to get the WDI release info someone had to be on a computer on Disney Property (most cases, I'm sure there are some that have Intranet access at home, but rarer), logging in with credentials due to their employment., and not intended for public release. I believe MOG has asked the mods not to allow it. Once the pins are released, people can take and post pictures of the pins.

Other release info comes from public sources, and therefore has no restrictions.

They are going to be available online, though, right? Why not order there?

Since DS UK has said that their online stores only have 300 sets of each, I'm imagining that the US online store will have a limited set as well (though who know what that number could be, and if their servers can manage it the access surge).

My plan is to shoot for an in person release so that I don't have to have flash backs to my anime con artist alley days where three people in a room frantically refresh a page until someone breaks through online crowd. XD

We already had the first release on Tuesday, Europe will release every Tuesday, not sure when US will release though?
 
I'm surprisingly not too impressed with Chernabog's pin. :(. Oh well. No one the. From this release to hunt down.

Lately they've been putting release flyers on out internal forum, so no need to be on a work computer/WiFi anymore.
