as of right now in the box, ,some are just to big others ok work great in frame sets when matched with others from that group ex: POTC Lady and the Tramp etc.
 
From me it is a definitely YES! I love Jumbos, though apart from several smallish jumbos I don't really have any.
I find it makes them even more special, though that's just personal opinion :)
 
I have a couple jumbo pins, I don't mind them as long as they're a theme I collect. I'm hoping for a jumbo pin of King Candy in Cy-Bug boss form one day.
 
This is my type of thread :lol: jk but I'm pretty ambivalent towards jumbos and overall I prefer not to collect them. There are pros and cons I see to them:

Pros:
- They're larger so obviously they can have more detail
- Stand out more (not always a good thing)
- Can fit more elements with wider surface area
- Better trader usually

Cons:
- Really heavy (so you cannot wear them on anything but a lanyard or really sturdy clothes without it pulling your whole shirt down)
- If the design is simple or ugly, it being bigger is not a good thing :lol:
- More expensive and harder to trade for
- Sometimes hard to find a spot for because it's substantially larger

Overall, I only collect the nicest jumbos out there and there are less than 3 I've ever seen that I like enough to collect (I've only set my eyes on 1 of them, the other 2 I'm mulling over but they aren't close to as nice as the first one).
 
I love jumbo pins. I have no idea what to do with most of the ones I have but I love them. I tried to turn some of the Christmas jumbos into ornaments but they were too heavy. Nearly broke tree. Only the regular size ones worked well.

Yeah, jumbos can rarely be used for anything but as pins, which isn't a bad thing. I know people made necklaces out of pins, jumbos break the chain sometimes (and if they don't, they'll give you neck problems since they're substantially heavier lol) not to mention they already tear your clothes off :lol:
 
Ive only had one Jumbo, and I only had it for about 2 days?
I had bought it on ebay, and when I got it, I realized how bad the pin looked in person.
It had a lot of divits and bumps in the pin and finish. The one picture that was supplied on ebay didn't show these, and the seller wasn't happy when I asked for a refund.
They also advertised as from a pet free home, and the box was full of dog hair -.-
 
Disney Auctions jumbos are the best quality but the good ones are usually le100 so difficult to trade for. I don't wear mine as too frightened they will fall off the lanyard and get lost or damaged.

Yak!!! I hope you got your refund
 
I love jumbos. I don't usually wear jumbos, as some are very large. I have some storybook jumbos that I display in a glass case, it makes me feel good and protects them from my Grandkids. Jumbos do need to be very high quality or they won't look good.
