DSF / GSF / DSSH August Flyer - Let the Chaos Begin
I'm fairly certain it will be like the Maleficent release. Everyone in line by a certain time gest a wristband that allows them to draw a ticket. Their number determines how likely it will be to buy the pins. Anything over 750 is likely to be left with nothing. Lol, don't you have it is a *privilege* to be allowed to give them our money? I find it quite funny ^^

As I collect both of those princesses, you have to be patient. Not just with them, but with any hobby like this one. Sometimes you're lucky and you find them at a good price, other times you just meet the right people that want pins you're offering. I know NOW they seem impossible and unattainable, but if you practice patience you'll get them sooner than later. I would suggest (since you're gunning for hard / rare / expensive pins) that you focus on ONE at a time. That way it's not as overwhelming and you can appreciate them more when you do manage to get one.

Well said and bang on.

Currently with only 9 pins to my name I collect Frozen and Ariel.

AKA the most popular princess and movie right now.

I want a lot of Ariel stuff, the grail is the Art of Ariel pin or Ariel Seasons (ouch my wallet).

I just want 1 really nice and impressive pin to my name

Oooo, that is a tough one. The Ariel Seasons is a HG for a number of us! But, don't let that stop you. From past experiences, I can confirm that Pinhunters is 100% correct. Get to know her market, so when you do get a crack at her, you'll be familiar with what is a good price or trade for her.

perhaps they will do what they did with the Princess Event wristbands

Didn't that work out better for everyone?

Nope. They printed 1200+ vouchers, 1000 showed up and people in the 600s left thinking they had no chance at getting any pins. Plus they also forgot to draw vouchers for about four people so instead of bringing the drum back out they brought six vouchers out and let them pick from those six vouchers, and who knows how many of those were good numbers)? Or was that for Maleficent?

they should cut cut the line out off at 3 am, get a voucher count and print vouchers and start handing them out at 4 am
 
Ugh, I'm going to have to stay abreast of developments! Looks like we will be driving from San Diego that night instead of that morning. Don't want to miss the cutoff!!

I've got 2 other collections going for me, I definitely know the whole waiting game. It's so frustrating as a newbie to see this happening, when as a collector in something else for a good amount of years have only recently seen it starting to happen

I see you're from Canada eh? Take it from a person who has been collecting for about a year now and who's also from the great white north! I got a bunch of awesome limited edition pins that I've never EVER thought I was going to get but totally did. I as well collect The Little Mermaid, as well as my ultimate collection for Aladdin and little collections as Princess & the Frog, Wreck-it-Ralph, Olaf just by himself, & two collections that I'm very happy to start: Anything Polynesian (Small world Polynesian/The Enchanted Tiki room) & Mushu! It's all about staying in the pin hobby and making sure you're checking out the awesome deals here than on eBay.

Now to be on topic, I'm super glad there's definitely nothing for me here this month as I mention I only collect Olaf just by himself :) I mean there is the dog tag of Max and the cheerleader Vanellope but it's not on my "priority" list atm since the Imagination Gala is next month and I can not spend money until the awesome event LOL.
 
I've been out of the loop since my disney annual pass expired but surprised they didn't have GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY pin release with the marquee or did they?
