Mail Days Megathread 📬

Pin trades from the pin event at Holiday Inn! There are a few pins I'm not feeling super confident about their authenticity here, so if you're willing to help please DM! I know that's vague but idk if anyone I traded with is on the forum so I wanna avoid hurting feelings if I can.


Really pleased with this lot. All ISOs and one DISO!


A lot of spontaneous but still great trades.


In love with the Walt quote pin. I'm also a dummy because that Leota did not get in with the other HM pins lol.




I've been struggling to find Munchling bags so I'm pleased to have traded for my favourites from it!


Also wanted to see how the sketch pins worked in my new bag! Not fond of the material used for the pin part because it's hard to use with two post pins so I'm gonna try and macgyver something.
 
That Launchpad! So jealous!
 
He will make a great edition to your duck collection! I would love to see what your duck collection has grown to be.
I'll take new collection photos when I finish setting up new boards!


Almost exclusively ebay purchases, though the Shredder pin is a non-Disney fantasy, it's just too pretty not to share lol.
 
Sorry to hear that. Maybe he was going after the cat pins.
Haha! She could've been! Nah she was chasing a gecko that I thought might be a cockroach (he moved fast) and he beelined for me, she ran behind me after him, I backed up because possible cockroach, and did gymnastics to avoid smushing her. Caught myself on my wrist. Both her and the gecko were unharmed, I did not get out the same. Think it's just bruised though.
 
If anyone had questions about whether the Pinkalamode mystery bags were worth it.. it is. This is our haul from 2 $100 bags.

AHHHH, the 4*Town, Tiana and Simba pins! How gorgeous! And great traders even if you don't collect them. Not one dud in there.

On an unrelated note, my Dana Terrace x studiobadegg collaboration pin arrived. Semi-official? If only because it was authorized by the creator of the Owl House. It's gorgeous! Wish it was hard enamel but I suppose it would've been twice as expensive.

 
OMG I love it! Huge fan of the Owl House. Very jealous!!
 
Is the Mickey with Walt pin in the first photo a new pin? I don't think I've seen it before and I love it.
 


Some pinmail from today! The rest of my studiobadegg order, which I gotta say, I'm a little frustrated with. I didn't even realize it on the Raeda pin but the two Hunter pins were thrown into the package straight from the factory with no bubble wrap (and it was not a bubble mailer) and the silver Hunter arrived with a bent post and the antlers had also actually bent in opposite directions because of how thin the pin is due to the lack of enamel. The trio pin had hastily stuffed bubble wrap in it. I get they're a small shop that blew up fast, but the quality is more wobbly than I realized and the packaging was inadequate. I'm gonna email them to suggest they add bubble wrap but I'm not really expecting anything because they have like a thousand orders right now, literally. It's a shame Owl House pins are so hard to find.

And then a pin that totally caught me off guard, a zap from @firechief18 ! I order a lot of stickers for my cast member gifts so whenever I get a small package I just shrug and assume it's stickers, but I opened this one and was very confused because I didn't remember ordering it, even though I know I just decided to start collecting the series recently. Went through all my shopping apps thinking it was an insomnia order until I realized there were stickers on the back and that the little card was from firechief18! What an awesome surprise. I totally wasn't expecting anyone to think of me for @CanaDaLE 's zap game, and I'm excited it's one of the top ones I wanted from this series. Thank you so much! Also love the stickers because safety is a top priority for me in most of my life-- although my hazardous bedroom might tell otherwise lol. Shhhh, I got stuff to break a window with if needed.
 
Happy 4th of July (ID4) to those who celebrate or Happy 4th of July (Tuesday) for all others!

My June pins are from a trip to Disneyland, trades, and buys from everywhere.


I really love the Mali dragon head from Artland/Pulse. I won a giveaway from diablopins Whatnot, so that was a nice surprise. Pride nite at DL was so much fun. You don’t hear dance pop music at the park often, and I was singing and dancing all night. My friend went to Aulani and got me the Mickey rainbow pin.


I couldn’t find the Black Spire Day pin anywhere in DL; then I found it on the way out via DTD at Star Wars Trading Post. I practically screamed. I was zapped the BBcre.8 fantasy pin. Got a good number for the GOTG3 release…waiting for it on Disney+.


I love the Mickey Disney 100 tour pin. I didn’t do a tour but found it for cheap on the auction site. The Mickey coronation day pin is so cute. I’m in the middle of creating 4 new lanyards to wear at the parks, so there are pins for IASW, character spinners, Stitch food, and birthday. I was in line to take a pic with Mickey in his D100 suit (which was the goal for the day) and talked to 2 people in front of me in line. They were wearing lanyards, and I zapped them a couple pins. I told them I didn’t need to trade, and a zap is a gift. They didn’t quite understand why I was just giving them pins. After my pic, they handed me 2 pins (Ms Marvel and Baymax popsicle). That was sweet so I accepted instead of trying to explain again.


I have no patience. I’m sure the price will go down further, but I was done with seeing how many were left, and some were showing up in mystery bags, and Aurora (gift for a friend) was in the 50s, so with 30% off, these princely dudes are home.
