2023 Pin Discussion & Pin Releases 💬
Even with the Magic Key discount and even if they'd been good quality, it's a BIG stretch on value for the money. That said, they do also come with a mini-pin, so a couple bucks value for that, too.Honestly, I was shocked they wanted $50 for the pin.
Right!? A tad excessiveLoungefly sure does love their mystery boxes.
I saw them on the auction site and was surprised at how much they were listed for so I looked them up. Do you think they are worth $50? What is the bonus pin like?Even with the Magic Key discount and even if they'd been good quality, it's a BIG stretch on value for the money.

Is it a mystery or is every box the same?
Very sad about the quality control on them. I was planning to try to get an Alice when I am there in a couple of days. I will make sure to pay close attention.Just a heads up for those interested in the Eric Tan set - the quality control on these is ATROCIOUS. (At least on the Alice one, which is the only one I looked at.)
I checked 10 of these - 7 at one store and 3 at another. Every single one had damage - paint dollops, dings, dents. I could not find one decent one out of the 10 I looked at (they wouldn't let me see any more). So I had to settle on one with an ugly paint ding because I'm a completist and needed the pin.
But it is SO unacceptable that a $50 retail pin has worse quality control than a hidden mickey.
Just a warning for anyone wanting one of these. Very disappointing.
I'll add that I am not someone who generally notices small flaws on pins. These were all terribly obvious dents that made me look closely to find one that wasn't. I couldn't find an undamaged one.
I don't think they're worth it at all. $35 retail, maybe $40 since there are two pins packaged together then the discount on top of it would've seemed more like it. That said, I'm a completist, so I got it anyway. I haven't even opened the box to check on the mini-pin packaged inside!I saw them on the auction site and was surprised at how much they were listed for so I looked them up.

Has anyone tried the $25+ purchase from Pinkalamode? I don’t see the pins add to the cart so I’m a little paranoid!

Got an answer! They won’t show in the cart but they will ship it with the minimum purchase. I’ve never bought from them before so fingers crossed!
