PIN HAUL 2025 Mail Days Megathread

CanaDaLE said:
I’m super excited to share what I’ve traded so far on my first trip to Orlando.

My first 4 days - 3 more days to trade (hopefully I can buy more traders). I’m never this lucky in Disneyland.

Amazing haul. Congrats!
 
You did great, chaser and super chaser. I bought 5 packs and nothing. I was able to get everything but chasers. Hopefully at some point I’ll be able obtain them.
 
Some of my favorites that I acquired in April.


Y’all….I cannot believe I finally own these 3. I remember holding the DL 60th jumbo in my hand at D23 MOG, and having spent too much money already, I put it back down. Regret! I finally own it almost 10 years later. The Sorcerer Mickey snow globe was originally available from D23 2013. I had wanted the 6 US parks, but some were already sold out in the D23 pin store. This Hollywood Studios one is the last of the 6 to be found. I really loved the Tomorrowland movie and collected those pins. I was able to get all the different T pins, but this boxed set eluded me until now. The jumbo is the last one I need to be movie complete-ish. (Too many T pins were identical but offered from multiple sources, so I’m not counting those.)


I wanted 1 Starbucks mystery pin each from the WDW parks, so got them from a FB seller. To guarantee I got the 6-pin LF villains set, I was able to buy a case of 12 boxes at HT. A worker saw I was looking at the loose boxes and mentioned there was an unopened case in the back, and when offered, I said yes. So I actually have 2 complete sets. My DBFFs went to DL for Dapper Day, and when asked if I wanted anything, I said to look for a few packs of the 2025 Hidden Disney packs. I really only wanted 1 pin, but the rest can be traders. They zapped me 10 packs, and I was deeply moved. So I’m going to try to collect the DL sets. I only put the chasers I got in the pic and am glad the super chaser was in one of the packs!
 
Another great lesson that patience plays a BIG role in this crazy hobby! And maybe that karma helped with the case and the zaps... Congrats!
 
My haul from a non Disney PTE in Florida:


I didn't realize it when I was at the event, but a friend pointed out my trading was very Paris heavy. Obviously lots of wants from the Paris releases (DLP gets some great pins).

Also going to own it. I have a side collection of Disney characters on skies. Still trying to gain all the skiing pins from the recent-ish Loungefly blind boxes.
 
I am behind in posting my Japan boxes. Unfortunately, tariffs are throwing a wrench in my “box a month” plan. While Japan shipments should be fine, if they were opened and inspected, pins are made in China…

April / May “beat the tariffs box”
 
I was going to ask if someone was there from Paris.
 
Received a small box of older cast lanyard and Hidden Mickey pins from The Scoop Sanderson Himself (aka Holland Hayes) that I'm pretty excited about! The Figment expressions pin was the last one I needed to complete the set!

Then a few hours later my bestie dropped off a little surprise gift (Donald) that she picked up yesterday at DL for me. Such a nice surprise!

Just got back from trip to WDW and thought I'd show my haul.
Purple boards are the ones I traded for. Your eyes do not decieve you, there are some scrappers. There are just some pins a 6 year old NEEDS to have, hahaha.
We also didn't open up every box there so we can have some magic here at home.

Fun little note, on Mother's Day we dressed in a munchling theme and I gave my daughter a pack of munchling stickers to hand out. Between her face in being able to give them to guests and cast members and the reaction of the people she gave them to, I will never again go to Disney without stickers for her to hand out. It was incredible.

Got a truly fantastic bunch of pins from the twins’ sale (@GroguFan and @stratasfan.) Old, pristine, hard to find, rare, and legit pins from Scoop’s collection. I am so excited to fill some holes in my collection. And super, super excited to finally get the awesome Director Mickey. I guess it really does exist.

I just got home from back-to-back cruises on the Dream, a 3-night followed by a 4-night. As expected, the vast majority of trading pins on the ship (on both official and unofficial trade boards/lanyards) were the usual scrappers and counterfeits. However, on the 4-night cruise they had Officer Pin Trading, I believe the first time I have seen this since the pandemic. For those unfamiliar, this is a set time when a handful of officers of the ship come out with fresh lanyards full of pins and stand around for a half hour of trading frenzy. The starting lanyards this time were largely the current WDW Hidden Disney pins!! I was able to get all the Donalds except the Christmas chaser and a couple castles (the two sets I most want) as well as a few others before the lanyards were depleted and back to mostly fakes from other traders.


My keepers


Available for trade. I’m not sure about the Dumbo name tag (fake or real?).
 
Been quite busy past couple of weeks but to say I've been blown away with a recent trade is an understatement!!!

I did a trade with @Poohlady5 and just opened her package and I was brought to tears. I traded for the Mikey W Earth Day Pin and she zapped me with all of these things. My daughter was jumping telling me it's Christmas in summer! The two new Doorables sent her over the edge!

The kindness and generosity has me speechless.

"Thank you for the trade Mrs. Pooh Lady!" - from my daughter (and me too!)
