Hey guys, just popping in here to address a few things:
First, sometime in the next few months I will be moving. I am about 95% sure I found a place that I will be moving to in November; while I will really like this new place and my new roommate, I will be about 45 minutes away from DSF in the opposite direction from work.
What this means:
~I won't be able to do weekday pickups anymore for PTDs and leftover release pins. Weekends will be more flexible, but I would only go if there was something else I was getting for myself.
~I will still offer pickups for monthly releases (though not all of them, just for ones that have at least one pin I would want for myself when I would be going anyway) and for extra PTDs where I would be going to get just one for myself.
There is a small chance that place won't work out, in which case I would still be looking for somewhere, and if I find a place in the near-vicinity I could still offer my pickups as before. I will keep the thread updated when things are finalized.
ETA: Note that for the above, I mean after I move. Until I do, I can still do my pickups.
Second, the September flyer:
NBC: I am hoping to go to the NBC release, though I will be away at a conference until Thursday night so I may not make it in favor of sleep. Depending on how things work out with my moving situation, I may or may not be keeping some of these (how much I have to save for moving costs will directly impact how much I can spend on pins in the next few months). I will not be keeping the Mayor either way. If I do keep pins, the first tier would be the marquee, Oogie, and Zero, and the second tier (if I can afford to keep more) would be Jack and Sally. I will take names for everything, though, in case I won't be able to keep any. Just know that everything except for Mayor is tentative at this point.
Umbrellas/On the Go: The online release will be prefaced like all the others - I will be trying for it, and I will take names for certain ones, but even if you are chosen as a winner, I HIGHLY SUGGEST you try for yourself as I have only ever gotten through for one release. I will also not be taking payment from the winners until after the release when I know for sure if I got the pins, since chances are I won't and I would just have to process refunds, but I ask that the winners be ready to pay ASAP.
(I also want to put out there that if someone is able to get the On the Go Judy and I am not successful, I would be interested in trading for or purchasing it if they don't need it for their own collection.)
As far as what I am keeping -
I 100% for sure am keeping Judy, Vanellope, and the umbrella cats. Depending on moving stuff, the next tier of my keepers will be the umbrella dogs. I won't be keeping Mr. Incredible, Lightning, Cruella, and Roger Rabbit so they will be available regardless of the rest. I will take names for the umbrella dogs (tentative) and the On the Go minus Judy and Vanellope (guaranteed if I get through).
Lists with prices will go up shortly.
