So last night was our party. And it was a rainy one. Before, 7 we ended up in Big Top and we purchased our mystery pins. There was a group there, trying to complete 4 sets and I figured having people to trade with might help us complete our set faster. So we quickly opened our boxes. I knew there were the four chasers, but there was nothing on the box to say they were more limited than the rest. I just assumed they were hidden designs. We were wet, it was dark, and I was trying to hurry, but we never turned the pins over to look at the back.
Last night, I thought I messed up because I managed to trade away BOTH of our Headless Horseman (the one of the four LE pins I wanted most) leaving us without one. And I also traded away an Old Hag and a Stromboli. So I traded away 4 LE750 pins without knowing it.
The only redeeming thing is we still have 2 extra Stromboli. But I know it's going to be a lot harder to trade Stromboli for the 2 LE750s we still need (Frollo, and Headless Horseman *cries*). For once we had great luck pulling chasers 8 out of 20 possible, and I'm the idiot who trades them away. I'm trying to tell myself it will be good pin karma, because the group I traded them too wanted 4 sets and got ZERO chasers at all. So at least they walked away with my 4.
We also need a Dr. Facilier to finish the LR portion of the set, but we have lots of extras because of the swaps. Hopefully, that one will be easier.
