New, looking forward to trading!

New, looking forward to trading!
I understand that - I've seen a lot of the 'object shaped' sets that look wonderful when they're all together - but only if you have all of them. I don't think the map sets are quite as bad, & specifically this pin looks nice because it's from the top boarder. Nothing is cut off, so it looks nice as a stand alone pin (especially compared to the matching pin from the Disneyworld set, where the boat is split across three different pins!).
And I absolutely love the effect used for the water! (I'm not just hyping up a pin I want to trade, I am keeping one of the two for my personal collection & I really love it.)

Let's see if this actually works to upload photos. . . . (Please tell me if anyone can or can't see this!)
Thanks for the info. Yes, I can see a small thumb nail and link.
 
What I collect is a bit tricky, because I have a lot of movies & characters I collect for . . . but I don't plan on getting everything for any of them, & 'if I like the pin' is a bit of a vague description.

That said, my favorites that I'm actively seeking out are:
Mulan (not the villains)
Robin Hood
The Lion King (specifically Zazu)
Aladdin (specifically Iago)
Encanto
The Rescuers/The Rescuers Down Under (also not the villains)
Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers
Gummi Bears (if there are even pins for this. . . .)
Lilo & Stich (only 625/Reuben)

Plus I'll grab pins from other movies or theme park rides I like if something I really love shows up. I also overall prefer smaller pins, pins that show the full character instead of a cutoff head or torso (unless the pin specifically has a frame design) . . . & I absolutely love the Pin Trader Delight pins in general, though I'm afraid they'll be beyond what I can trade for.

I don't suppose the 'Mickey Mouse as skipper' from the Disneyland Jungle Cruse set is one of the pins you're looking for?
One of the great things about collecting is that you can - and should - define your collection as you see fit. 'If I like the pin' is probably the smartest criteria for collecting that I've heard. It doesn't matter if the description makes sense to anyone else as long as it makes sense to you.
