I just kind of wish it was a replica of the hair comb instead of the pin. I'd TOTALLY wear that.

I did! My titanic pin collection may need to get its own spot now (I own about a dozen other pins from various locations/exhibits) I’ve been obsessed with its story long before the movie came out..

That would be an interesting collection to see if you have any interest in sharing.

there was free shipping through today for D23 members, you just had to be logged in with the same email as your D23 membership. I took advantage of that, a Disney20 discount code, and my birthday 20% discount and got the Titanic safe and comb pins and the Encanto 4-pin pack for about $55 shipped total.
 
With every character connection release I expect the next one to be Robin Hood, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they are waiting until later this year for the 50th anniversary in November.

No Beloved Tales/Dark Tales since September 2021… wondering if DSSH is sitting on some now. I need my Encanto, Turning Red, Luca, and Raya BT soon

Those are nice pins. How good are Artland pins usually as traders?

(This is stratasfan, as I'm using Sis' comp and she said I should give my thoughts on here!) From what we've seen, they aren't like WDI or DSSH. Low LEs, but more often, they aren't as wanted. Kind of hard, since the list prices are usually steep. But working out trades is a bit different. Kind of like the old ACME pins . . . if someone likes them, they really like them, but if you aren't into them, they seems to fall lesser on the scale. However, that's just our experience so far. We've got a few and they are certainly nice pins! So far, it seems like they are lower number LE than their trade "value". I have and have had a couple to trade and we have some in collections, and there are a few I'm really trying to trade for . . . but I kind of see that the very low LE numbers don't really do the same as far as WDI or DSSH. Again . . . just my experience, and they are sort of new.

On another note, they sometimes seem to cop out and use similar boring art, but sometimes they just nail it with amazing new art! There is a mystery series Dug pin that has the CUTEST art! And I really like the Up House floating on the balloons. Sometimes the princesses seem ho-hum, but other times . . . super cool! I've got a Robin Hood and it is amazing quality and the art is so different! Have to say . . . every Artland is super quality.
 
Thanks for the insight! They definitely look like nice pins, but would be traders for me rather than keepers. I still have some Acme princesses in my trade bag so I understand the comparison. I guess I will be leaving these alone. Especially at those prices.
 

(Again . . . this is stratasfan) If they fit your collection - I'd say 100% go for them. However, so far I'm not thrilled by the trading of them. Seems like it is an awful lot of stats and info to balance and figure out a good trade and then the person with the pin has their own idea even more so. I've got an LE 100 that was super pricey, and it is very hard to trade. So far, I've not succeeded. They aren't "worth" other super low LE pins in people's minds, but you have to balance it with the list price, as they aren't cheap, either. PALM/Monogram does lower LE pins with lower prices, and they have their own trade "value" . . . these are like that, just the other side of the scale, kind of. But if they fit your collection, you can't beat them for quality!
