Mail Days Megathread 📬

Pin envy for those Ahsoka pins! I usually can fight the urge on fantasy pins but she is stunning!
 
My January pin acquisitions!



I decided to bite the bullet and continue collecting the DSSH villain cards since I had the 1st set. Thanks @TheMickeyMouseRules for the trade. Finished the Mickey icon set. The 2 Auroras from Destination D will be for trade since I only want to keep Maleficent.



I was also able to finish these villains mystery sets. Thanks to @TheMickeyMouseRules for the last chaser I needed.



So many I really like for these Star Wars pins. Force ghosts…yes. SWGE slider pins...yes. Sarlacc pit that opens to Boba Fest inside…yes. Another Grogu…of course!



I’ve been collecting the date spinners for quite some time; if I go to a Disney park in that year, I want it. Thanks to @translation for the Scoop pins trade; 2 more left. Only 1 more pin needed each for the 2012 California set (Lightning McQueen), lunar new year mystery set (Donald as monkey), DCA construction fence hidden Mickey (Oswald), and Jerrod Maruyama attraction mystery set (Haunted Mansion). I think a friend is giving me the last 2 gingerbread house pins, so I’ll be done with this set.
 
I don't usually remember to post here but it's been a crappy couple of days with lots of issues around here so it's no surprise to me that even though I had the tracking number I forgot I was waiting on a box from @sockgnome. Last week while trying to value pins for the swap box, one LE 250 I looked up had no sales, 2 disparate listing prices, wasn't on the wants list of anyone 'downstream' from me on the swap box but was on her wants AND she had just posted a trade thread. So I basically said something like "I've got this LE plus 1 other on your wants list, I don't know the right value. I looked at your thread and I'm partial to Cheshire, aristocats, maleficent... you decide and send me something." So here's what she selected:



Thanks for brightening my day.
 
He’s not a pin and he didn’t technically come in the mail, but he’s mine, he’s here, and I’m super excited to have him so have to share!

I got one of the Figment Popcorn Buckets!
For anyone who doesn’t know, these things had a 7+ hour line on their initial release, sold out on day 2 I think, and have been going online for $150-200+
I got mine no line, no hassle, and no cost to me.


I have a friend who lives in Florida. She took this week off work with plans to spend the first part of the week at Disney World then fly to Virginia to hang out with me and some other friends for the second part (she used to live here). She and I are both huge Figment fans so when I saw online that there was a surprise restock of the buckets on Monday, I quickly texted her. She changed her park reservation for the day from Magic Kingdom, rushed to EPCOT, got two, and when she flew here for her visit, brought one to me. She wouldn’t even let me pay her the actual $25 it cost. She said she ate the popcorn that came in it and that was my fee. Such an amazing friend and such amazingly lucky timing to get us these buckets!
