A Fairy Tail of a Pin Haul (post those pins)

[Randakinskywalker]

Ok. Whoo, boy. Here we go.

Thursday

Thursday was a blur. My friend's and my flight left LA at 10:45 the night before, and we hit the ground running on Thursday, so I didn't really have much energy besides interacting with people who came up to me at my table. But here is what I pre-traded/purchased/traded for at the tables on Thursday:

Thanks to @MerlinEmrys for the pickup/trades (Rescue Rangers console, Mickey/Minnie Cinderella, and Lion King mystery box pins), @slbrabham (Simba/Nala White Glove, Jake, Prince John, and Chip and Dale fishing) and @TiggerSue (Lion King 8-Bit HMs) for the pretrades, and @Kiragigi for the in-person trade (Paris Timon)! I honestly can't remember who I got the O&Co vinyl from... Li'l Pudge was a trade with a non-DPF attendee. And I got two Fairy Tails mystery boxes from another attendee and traded some older pins for some more mystery box pins from someone else (can't remember right now who but I think she may have been a DPFer?); the mystery pins above were the ones I was left over with at the end of the weekend of trading them around.

And I got some zaps!

The Timon Oops A Daisy was from slbrabham, the Daisy was from @Ajk , and the Hawkeye was from a non-DPF friend of a friend.

After the Thursday trading I went with my friend and Ajk to have dinner at Disney Springs, and we stopped by Amorette's Patisserie so I could get one of their Simba cakes! It was really good but SO SWEET it took me four days to finish eating through it all.

Friday

These are my board pulls for Friday, minus a Duke Caboom AP pin I gave to my friend before I took the photo. The top row is all APs from normal (non-Best in Show) board pulls - three LE Robins including two from the Medieval Magic boxed set, a Forky OE, and a Sorcerer Mickey from the Fantasia park pack.

The four pins in the bottom left are my Best in Show board pulls. The Mim Fox is an AP; the DSF BB-8 and the Inside Out Paris pins are not APs as far as I can tell (gonna go over them again really carefully, though, in case they have a tiny AP mark that I missed), and the three pins in the bottom right are just normal pins that I pulled hoping for APs.

I also pulled this guy (AP) but traded him to someone in line.

And here are the guest-to-guest trades I made for the day:

Tiger Mim is an AP that was pulled off the Best in Show board. With the Mufasa, I was down to just Scar left to finish that set.

And also, I FNALLY got to meet BOLT!

Saturday

Board pulls. Again, the top row is all APs. Minnie I got because my original board pull was damaged, so I got to take it up to the registration area and switch it out for something off a small board they had there. The middle row is all normal stuff, pulled since there was nothing really eye-catching left by that point, though I did need the Ed pawprint to finally complete that set so I was happy to pull him. @Jabberwocky - I pulled the Queen hoping she was AP but she was just normal. The bottom row are my pulls from Best in Show - all APs! I was shocked to see Pintiquities pins on the board. I also got an AP Belle/Vanellope pin from the mystery box set, but I traded it to my friend who pulled two AP Vanellope/Merida from the set (I got the Merida pin from her after I took this photo).

And guest-to-guest stuff:

O&Co was from a trade with Merlin, and the other four on top are all trades with random line people (all AP except for Scar, who completes that set!). The bottom two pins are both AP and were zaps - one from a friend of my friend and the other from one of the people in line I was chatting/trading with.


Sunday

I went to the ancillary trade event at Holiday Inn and didn't have much luck, though I was happy to find that AP Friar Tuck/Alan-A-Dale pin from the Medieval Magic boxed set. Now just need to find Robin himself to finish the set in AP form! The other two on the top row - Judy is AP and Gadget is PP! I think she might be the first PP pin I own. Otherwise I struck out on finding anything I was looking for.

Overall, nothing I pulled was super EXCEPTIONAL, but I am happy with the majority of what I pulled. Tons of APs (including Robin Hood, Inside Out, Zootopia, and Lion King for my own collections), and the non-AP stuff was at least all legit and in good condition aside from the broken one I had to switch out. And managed to find a few pins I needed to finish out sets.


Oh yeah, and I got my waffle sandwich in Magic Kingdom on Wednesday. :3

I'm jealous of all those Little John pins! Congrats!

@watzshakinbacon @timeerkat @MerlinEmrys @slbrabham and all those who attended: Which of the Wave C hidden mickeys did you spot at the event? I want to add the information to PTDB, as it doesn't look like they have shown up in full at WDW (probably because they just released Wave B at the end of June)

I know the Disney Short Films series was there and @watzshakinbacon got the whole set!

All of the WDW ones were out. As far as I know, I didn't see any DLR ones.

All of them were there. I got at least one from each set.

Thanks. I will add a note then in each of the descriptions that said they were on the boards at the fairy tails event. Were all yours AP?

None of mine were, as far as I can tell.

I saw pins from all the wave C sets. None of the ones I pulled were AP.

Thanks, everyone! I am quite happy with it overall. And it was really nice to see so many DPFers in person again!

You have the cutest dimple!

And update - I have one more small haul. I was going through the RSP pins for my sponsor last night and comparing the pins on the order form to the physical pins to make sure I didn't miss anything when putting together their box, and found two extra pins. I contacted Disney Events about them and they said I could just keep them for being honest.

I remember that at the event registration, as the cast member was going through all of the pins from the sheet, there were two RPS lots that seemed like I was missing one pin from each, so she went and got extras from the back. I don't recall which pins they were, but I’m thinking that these were the two "missing" ones that weren’t missing after all and just mixed in with the rest, though it's odd that both she and I didn't see them in the original batch and didn't come across them as we went through everything else.

Anyone take pics of the auction pieces? From the few I saw online, I love the Window of Evil set with Maleficent progression plus the American Adventure double set plus the giant DL 60th frame.

Here are our board picks from Fairy Tails. My daughter didn’t know what to pick so I suggested big and shiny, or Mulan. I think she did pretty well.

I didn’t do a lot at the tables, but finished up with some last minute horse trading. I’m gonna miss my horse! Thank you everyone for meeting me and letting me put faces to names

Ok. So I had a little time to sort out all of my board pics and trades. Here they are again in some sort of order and finding a few more pins in various places in my clothes and suitcase. How do I even list AP’s and PP’s for trade?

First are our PP picks off the BIS board

Next are our AP picks off BIS

Regular pins from BIS

Other picks and trades in line

And my keepers
