DSF/DSSH Live from Hollywood - 31 hours in an alley

Maybe it is just me trying to see things in a positive way lol but I'm hoping that the hectic-ness of this release helps pin trading a bit. I mean, for sharks and for people who normally go to DSF to profit off their pins waiting in line right now, if these pins don't sell enough to compensate 2 days waiting outside, they might back off future releases and possibly not see pin selling as extremely profitable anymore.

I mean already, the Rapunzel DSF pin doesn't look like it will even touch $100 per pin, it isn't even selling there right now and Ebay has yet to be swamped with them. Up is selling for around $50 and Stitch and Robin Hood I wouldn't expect to go over $30 after they are all released. All in all, I think the Rapunzel and Up pins have potential to be all right traders, but sharks have no interest in pin trading, they only want the cash, and if these pins don't pull in that much money, maybe it could dissuade some of them?

Unless this release has a surprise pin, these pins already won't sell for anywhere near the profit people could have made on the last release (you can thank the surprise Tangled pins for that lol, this set of 4 is going for around $200 total, the Tangled BT alone did that) so I'm really hoping there is a light at the end of the tunnel >_<

Kupo I love ur positive attitude/reframes! :) I'm a pretty positive person myself... although I think in this situation I have switched more to realism (in the sense that there is a pretty high chance I won't get the pins) haha. But I do hope ur right in ur theory; that would be great if that happened! :)

I also really hope that DSF will try and do something else after this release is finished. Not saying to do something quick that will somehow magically fix the problem bc that doesn't seem possible. I have come to realize that pins are much like politics: u can't please everybody no matter how much u change the rules XD But try something different, go back to the drawing board. I agree that at the very minimum increased edition sizes would be a great start to help. And DSF from what I've seen takes their customers input into consideration, if we all give our suggestions/inputs (without beligerently raging at them) they'll take it into consideration and keep trying. It is pretty clear wristbands are not going to work well given all DSF conditions (location, edition size, characters they release and so on) so we'll see how it pans out soon enough.

Now the more and more that I look at this pin, it's not necessary to have in my collection. Although I love the concept, the retail is already too high in the first place considering what you said about the artwork being kinda sloppy.

Ironically, the artwork seems sloppiest on the most wanted one (Rapunzel), second sloppiest and the second most wanted one (Up), third sloppiest on the third most wanted one (Stitch, who really isn't sloppy at all but Robin Hood's is near perfect O_o), and least sloppy on the least wanted one (Robin Hood) haha xD

I know that is ironic isn't it? Which is hopeful for me bc if it realllly boiled down to me getting one I'd actually love Robin Hood for my collection lol There aren't very many pins of him/them at all. And if ur previous theory was right I'd be okay spending $25 to $30 for it eventually :)

I know! The Robin Hood ones and Stitch look great but I'm just not into those characters unfortunately. I'm just waiting for my Wreck-it Ralph couple valentine. Now, I keep bringing it up, but I really want it to happen! That would be so cool if they did that! Don't want to spoil it for people who haven't seen it yet. :)

I know, I have to say that I'm very disappointed that they weren't one of these chocolate (which is candy) boxes...I mean, COME ON! The movie just came out, the movie is about to come out on DVD and Blu Ray, it is Valentine's this was the perfect opportunity to promote the film, have a great pin, and have their first pin together lol (considering no WiR pin has ever featured 2 characters on it yet, well, I mean 2 characters from WiR). The day a pin gets released, the small group of WiR fans here are going crazy haha xD

Agree! Robin Hood is the best looking one but... I don't collect Robin Hood. I'm totally okay that I didn't make it to this release because to me, the pin doesn't justify the wait. Not when you had this big, beautifully done Lilo and Stitch Beloved tales pin which retailed at 12.95 and was about the size of this one. Heck, even the Tangled BT which I thought had okay artwork (better than this one) retailed at 12.95! And the Tangled PTD was gorgeous! And that was only 11.95 and big too! 17.95 is awfully expensive for a pin that is... less than perfect and just "ok". DSF is capable of much better, we've all seen it :)

Yes, this would have been such a good way for promotion! Let's have a crazy pin party! LOL
There are just so many good opportunities for really nice pins for WiR! Hope to see some new designs and not the reused, Ralph smashing bricks all the time lol
