With every release, there are people who ask in the thread for someone to please help them get the pin. DSUK, DLRP, DSF, WDW, WDI.... It doesn't matter where the pin is being released at, if its a decent pin, people reply asking for help. There is nothing wrong with that. It is a pin TRADE community. So people will trade, buy, and sell, to add to the collections.
It is an unfortunate fact for non socal people that right now many of the low LE variety character pins come from DSF/WDI. It does give us so cal folks a kind of unfair advantage in some ways. Supply and demand. Unless and until DS.com DSUK, DLRP, HKDL, JDS, and WDW start keeping up with DSF/WDI, we will have an advantage.
DLRP gets those wonderful PTN pins and great cast refreshers that trade like LE's.
DSUK get an Le release every 2 weeks.
WDW has the big september event, regular PTN's and 5 parks that release LE's on a semi regular basis.
And the folks who have been in pin trading since rocks were soft have DA pins for trading.
I see requests on EVERY thread about releases, for all the locations. Yeah, people say "please please pretty please" *or variations of it* but they are not begging. And the sales forum does well, people who ask to much in our sales forum dont get purchases.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back to the topic~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Was anyone else disappointed with the quality of the brave today? I exchanged 1 and when I got home and inspected my 2 i found more flaws... both pins went to collections, but still.... paint dips in the boarder and bubble/blobs in the green glitter background? really?
MODERATORS YOU TAUGHT ME A LESSON ABOUT NOT FEEDING INTO PEOPLE'S INSTIGATING. i see many of that on this thread Please review******
Actually I wasn't talking about you heck I don't even acknowledge you here .I just see overall post from a lot of people EVERY release from dsf so please don't get mad at Nathan he didn't misread me because really You never registered with me....sorry. But as I was saying its every dsf thread that I see a barrage of post "Id love for anyone to get these for me" "can someone get these for me" and these are often the same people who whine about what we want for the pin unless they are at cost, even though they begging for us to go out of our way to reserve them for our extra set or our one per person pins YOU are the reason we ask so much because of you the releases are tougher because when we have to get pins cuz 30 dozen people will whine about the Socal-ers greed if they don't have their way youre hyping up the release and they don't know what a lot of Socal folks go through to get the dsf pins to have a fair place to complain about the price or request to get them at a certain cheapness. and honestly if you want to ask someone for the pins do it in the wanted section give what the person is asking on the pin or move along and realize you don't need it.
DSF "beggers" are probably one of the #1 issues in pins
^^^Tried to type that out well but Im tired and am busy with other things so it was rushed

For me, it's not annoying when people ask for pins. It's when they plead for pins in a thread like this. This thread is in Pin DISCUSSION because we are supposed to be DISCUSSING the pin and how the release is going. Updates on the line, how many are left, is the store crowded... Things like that. We are all guilty of getting too excited over a new pin, but a simple "oh I want one" or "I'll be needing one of these" will suffice. No need to be throwing around sad faces and pouts. There are separate forums for that... Sales, wanted, and trading
Sometimes I feel like those of us who don't live by the soda fountain are treated like leeches. If we try to ask for help, we get called beggars. If we try to pay for the pin, we can't ask for "at cost" because that is "wrong" (which I can see the point there). If we over-pay for the pin, we are told we are "driving up the market" or even "greedy". Sometimes I just don't know what to do. I don't want to offend anyone, by asking for the wrong price, or a trade. So what should we do? I'm just a little lost.

Also, for a particular release like this where it is one per person, of course people are gonna trade harder for it because they either only have one for trade, or they only have one and they need it for their collection. Just give it time and you'll get your pin eventually
Today was certainly an anomaly in that a little green man was able to ride the coat tails of a Brave related release. I think we will slow down to the pace of a PTD lasting no more than three or four days though. The series is too popular and has too much resale and trade value to ever drop to the point where an LE 300 pin is going to sit for weeks on end.
I feel safe in predicting that PTDs will continue to sell at a torrid pace.
Guess those ice cream slingers are going to have to up their game, since there will likely be no breaks until the PTDs run out again. Time for the ghost of Henry Ford to make an appearance and show them how to run a more efficient ice cream assembly line.
Why not post it here? More visibility and it won't clutter up the wanted/sales forum with multiple posts.
Maybe for each big release their should be an pinharmony thread for possible trades/sales created. Then everyone who wants one could post and everyone who is selling or trading can post. Find your match at pinharmony....ha!
Do you have to get the ice cream? (sorry - I'm new)

No, you don't have to get the ice cream. I go in and buy just the pins all the time...
It's not any cheaper, so you are basically just passing on free ice cream, but if I ate it every time I bought a PTD.... :anxious:
You used to get a full cup with 2 layers of hot fudge. Now it's a couple of partial scoops and one smearing of hot fudge down the side of the cup. Just because something becomes popular, why do you have to break tradition? How hard is it to fill up a cup with some soda? It literally costs like $.10 for the cup and syrup. The ice cream is probably closer to $1 in cost and more with the labor and materials required.
Find a homeless person to give it to?
Yesterday I went to DSF for the first time since DSF became so huge. The employees seem so miserable working there.
If they can package it to go I would totally do it. Of course, if we all started doing that once word spread there'd be an equally long line of random people and children looking for free ice cream.
