Hi all! As promised here is the thread for live updating from Paris.

I only got literally an hour in the park today and tbh a good portion of that was spent trying to beat my dad at Buzz Lightyear's laser blast xD.

Checked out the shop at the end of the ride though and was pleasently suprised by the wall filllllllled with OE pins! They had so much stuff!

Including all the Princesd Jewel Heart series pins released thus far, the Handbag princess series and also amazingly the older Rapunzel OE that has been out for aaaaaaages now (the huge round one of her on a purply background).

They had a tonne of stuff tbh! Atm my internet is too poor to give pinpics numbers so I will explain best I can.


Just before seeing Disney Dreams I was able to trade for the Louis cast lanyard pin in Harringtons. Which is where I discovered a stunning amount of LE pins!

Including, Hiver 2012 Cheshire and New Year Cheshire, The 12.12.12 poker chip mickey,AMAZINGLY the gorrrrgeous and HUUGE Sleeping Beauty pin that has an opening stained glass window and was released at the last event only at a whopping 60euro it is expensive but stunning. Also saw a 30euro Billains event only pin of Maleficent with her Goons (if someone can identify it and post a pick I would greatly appreciate it).

If u want to know if a particular pin is in stock then just post a pinpics pic and I will check for you.

Trade counters:
Pins: 2
Vinyls: 0
 
I think this is the Maleficent pin you mean -

Em I am too jealous of you! If that Sleeping Beauty wasn't so much I'd have you picking one up for me! But let me know if you spot any Jack (NBC or POTC lol!) or any Belle and I'll be on it!
Hope you're having a fab time and looking forward to another update :)

Have a WONDERFUL time! I'm so jealous you get to be there! I'm hoping to go in 2014. :) Have so much fun and buy lots of pins! haha
 
Hi there, Emily, welcome to DLP! :wavey:

I agree that most DLP shops have a wonderful assortment of pins available for purchase. It's nice that the availability of LE pins also tends to vary a lot from one store to another. So you're always in for a surprise, haha...

Enjoy your holidays and happy trading!
 
Hi again everyone!

I am trying to read all you replies but the internet in my room is dreadful so I can't do individual posts as it would never load! I will try and reply to things in here as best as I remember seeing them a few mins ago!

The Hiver 2012 and New Year's Cheshire are absolutely everywhere so I really wouldn't worry about getting them in a few weeks tbh. The train pieces are the ones that has flown.

Today I finally tracked down every single pin that people have asked me to get so I will be getting them tomorrow in one go.

Trading has been up and down tbh. I cannot find Pascal ANYWHERE ='[ and have asked multiple staff for him or where to get him and they just tell me that he is gone, there are no more left and I am very unlikely to find him =[.

I have managed to find a few cast lanyard pins though, Pumba, Lost boy twin, Finding Nemo baby squid, Louis PatF, Luigi LatT. I also got a couple of pins that muat have been put on straight to the lanyard from the rack as I got a Mickey with lollies and also an adorablw cutsie style jasmine. So far I have not obtained any scrappers or fakes but am only trading for nice big shiny Paris pins ^_^.

Bought wise I have only got 2 newbies, a Rapunzel and a 2013 Believe in Magic.

For those interested in vinylmations read the next paragraph (avoid if u hate them xD)
Having spent months trying to get the Cave of Wonders vinylmation and finally arranging a trade for one the day before coming here, I have found 3 in clear trade boxes! One is pretty grubby but I can clean him up. I have now decided to trt and get one more so I have a CoW army! I have also used the offer to buy one of the 20th anniv. Donald's for like 7 euro. I will discuss my vinyl teading more when I get back though as I know most people only do pins.

Errrm what else happened today... Got a new Buzz and have a huuuuge dilema as to what to use my money on. A Buzz Lightyear hoodie that is awesome! Or a truely gorgeous pink cinderella jumper =S can't pick!

Trade counter:
Pins traded so far: about 20
Vinyls traded so far: about 8

And most importantly......
Happy New Year from Paris!!
 
Happy New Year Emily! Sounds like you're having a great time in Disneyland Paris! But then that's my idea of a dream come true!! lol! Sure hope you get to enjoy lots more activities and have a bunch of fun!! And if you happen to find pin #91123 Mad Hatter's Tea Cups Attraction Alice in Wonderland, please keep me in mind!! More importantly ... HAVE FUN!!! Thank you for the updates! I love hearing about your adventures! Take care, *bjr
 
Hi all

Sorry for no updates from my last two days at Disney, the internet in the hotel was pretty poor in my room and I didn't get chance to nip to the lobby. I've also not been well so will update the thread with a trip reort when I am feeling better. Off to the doctors in a bit so hopefully I can post my review by tomorrow night
 
UPDATES :D

Hi all! thanks so much for all the well wishes, I'm happy to say that I am almost 100% back to my "normal" (If you can call me that :p ) self and so the report will be with you soon!

I sadly have to finish an essay first as I've lost time to being ill but it'll be up soon including photos of pins (and a couple of gorgeous photos of the castle too ofc)

Updates for the moment are that I obtained every single pin that was paid for and will be posting on Monday if I have your address by then, I have a lot already but if I don't then please PM me it asap :)

In my last few days I completed my Princess Jeweled Heart pin series so I now have all those released so far. Snow White, Cinderella, Tiana, Belle, Aurora and Rapunzel. I intend to frame them so I will put up a photograph of these pins and hopefully one of them framed too ^_^

My dad kept spotaneously buying me the odd pin or two (just like he did when I was 10, which got me into trading in the first place!) and he hasn't unpacked them all yet so there may be additions to what I have got!

I do know however that I will definitely have this Rapunzel for trade:
pin80965


Let's hope I can get this essay sorted super soon and be trip report writing asap! Wish me luck :)
