[Cursor]

LGM (Little Green Men) come in a tin with only four random pins out of a possible ten.

Hi Tia
I am in the UK and have

Pin 63684: WDW - Little Green Men - Mystery Tin Collection (LGM Arms Up Only)
Let me know if you would like to trade

maybe try ebay for the tin as there could be someone who is sellinga few of the LGM pins plus the tin...

plus there is a listing on pinpics for the sealed 4-pin set link its below and could try those 3 people apparently trading it..

Thanks for the offer and the link.

Donna, I checked to see if we have a match from the Pinpics link, can you see if any of my trades interest you? My name is John, not TIA (Thanks In Anticipation)

Stitch2814, I'm not sure how to contact those who have the tin from Pinpics.

I wonder if it's still available new? edit - contacted Disney - Sold out.

 

[Stitch2814]

I meant you could use the option - what could I trade to get this pin?? below the listing but if you click on the 3 for the number of people trading it, you will see 2 of the 3 have there email listed so you could email them perhaps

the tins went on sale at WDW I think last year or it might even have been the summer before, I managed to find all but the two lowest edition LGM by buying tins at the outlet at that time! good luck trying for a complete set!!

OK, I didn't know how to do that email checking, thanks.

berrygood, what do you mean outlet?

I've seen the complete set for sale but it's $500 (£330)

 

[berrygood]

they were in the disney outlet at one of the premium malls near WDW, I don't remember which one, sorry. They also had them in company D, I remember my friend who's a cast member picking me some up in there too!

Well I've found a few unopened sets but the postage is more than the tin.
As a collector, would you open the tin? Or collect the intact tin and the ten pins separately?

 

[earthbound]

John - are you sure that the tins are unopened?? Personally I'd collect the pins & tin separately - I'm in WDW next month & will keep an eye out with the traders!

It looks like they are Chris, sticker intact. I'll send you a link. I'm pretty sure these are still for sale in WDW because I noticed the label and price, but my memory is terrible these days. Hope you have better luck with the traders at Epcot, nobody turned up on a few days because the weather was too cold. :lgm:
