Hi all!

We were wondering where else we could buy pins here in SoCal other than DSF and DlR. We know of the Character Warehouse or Depot but where else? Any secret hidden shops in any areas we should bookmark?

And how much do they range from? Lik how much are they at the Character Warehouses?
 
Another good place to pick some pins up are collectors shops like My-D Pins in Anaheim. They have a huge selections of pins and a very knowledgeable group of people working there. It's not direct from Disney, but is a good source of new pins.

Where is DIR and Character Warehouse located?
 
Frank and Sons Collectables! Or Frankenscence if you're in the know haha!

It's off the 60. you can google it. It's a huge warehouse of all kinds of collectables, but there afre 3 pin dealers there. One guy sells rack pins on cards for 3-5$ Always new stuff coming in and always fun to go look!
 
Disney outlet in fullerton off Harbor, just north of the 91.... In the center with Berlington coat factory and Bestbuy and Michaels. Usually a decent selection of Jerry Liegh pins, and sometimes reduced price discontinued stuff as well. Staff knows nothing about pins though
 
Thanks everyone! Were trying to be reasonable with our pin fund rigt now and want to go to different places to find some decent pins for trade and for the PTN in June :)
 
Come to the Dayton Ohio Disneyana Show & Sale on July 1st. We will be driving there from Southern California with thousands of pins for sale. NONE of them will be scrappers. We will have a ton of $3 pins as we have recently aquired 3 colections from our friends who no longer want their pins.

Oh sure. Let me just fork out my life savings and be on our way there! ;) I wish man. If only :)
 
Alternate pin locations.

If you are near Disneyland, be sure to check the small souvenier shops and restaurant gift stores near the park. Many of those will have the Jerry Leigh line of pins available.

Away from the parks, it's more hit/miss. Again keep an eye out on tourist shops that carry other Disney licenced merchandise. Garage sales and 2nd hand stores (Goodwill, Value Village and similiar outlets) may have pins turned in by noncollectors not realizing the value of the gold in their hands.
