Those are great pins! I recognize less than half of them.

Woo hoo!

Box is here, safe and sound. And a day early!

Unfortunately, I am swamped at work at the moment and likely won't be looking at it until the weekend. But will report as soon as I do.

I can’t wait to see what you pick!

Wait no longer!

There are still lots of really great pins in the box, but not the below.

I was very excited to see the NBC kids. That chaser is tough to get. Now all I need is the Jack/mayor pin which I had lost track of.

And the HMs are one of those sets that you never see anymore and I figured I would never get them. Yet here they are in one nice bunch! Down to just needing the huffalump one of those.

The tarot cards are pins I did not know I needed until I saw them.

Key is for mrs. ajk and Queen is for a friend.

Box is packed and should be on to the next destination Monday.

I would see these periodically when I first started trading back in 2014/2015. Was able to complete the set off the boards at DLR. Even back in 2014/2015 I rarely saw them on pin trading boards/lanyards, which to me means they were not scrapped/faked... But this is an antidotal observation. Not sure if others have different knowledge of the set.

I traded for the final completer (huffalump - the set has 2 completers) at one of the more recent pin trading event I attended. Was surprised to even see the pin in someone's trading bag. @Ajk since I found my huffalump recently, I have confidence your huffalump will be found also.

Love the pins you chose. The the pooh HM set was tempting, so happy you grabbed the set. I know I have not see those HMs for years. Good luck on finding the completer.

The box has arrived safely! Your patience is appreciated, as I'm going through withdrawal from a medication and I'm taking care of a 6 month old with his EIGHTH tooth coming through, lol. I'm hoping to take a peek in the box tonight, but I'm sure it will take me several days to swap things out as I'm never sure when I'm going to have time for myself

I'm super excited!

 

[sockgnome]

Thank you to everyone for your patience!

Wow, did I have fun! Here are my selections:

It was such a treat to go through all of the wonderful pins in the swap box, I even saw a bunch that I had never seen before (which doesn't happen very often for me). I got to add several pins to my Nightmare Before Christmas collection, which hasn't seen any new pins for a long time. I have been reorganizing my pins recently, and on top of my Christmas/Winter collection have decided to group together pins with a Spring/Summer theme (flowers, butterflies, gardening, fruit, rain), so it was cool to find a couple that will go in that collection. And it made me smile to see the "It's a Boy!" pin, that felt like it was placed in the swap box just for me

My absolute favorite pin of the whole bunch is actually the little Pooh with a balloon pin at the bottom, which was sitting innocuously in the OE folder and which I have specifically been looking for recently! It's a pretty hard to find Japan pin from a 4 pin set of which I already have Piglet and Tigger. Now I just need Eeyore to complete the set! Again, I feel like someone put this pin in specifically for me, and it absolutely warmed my heart.

This was so much fun to participate in!

I have the Swap Box all packaged back up and ready to drop off today, where it will be heading for @sbmpins

Some really great pins! That NBC cluster is one of my favorite pins.

What a great haul! I really like both the tinker pins you found. I’ve never seen those two. Congrats!

 

[sockgnome]

@sbmpins let me know that the swap box arrived there safely yesterday!

 

[sbmpins]

Wow - so many treasures to go through in the Swap Box. And I'll be honest, kinda feel pressure to get the trades "right". But so much fun!

I was very excited to find a couple pins I've been eyeing - House of Baroness and the Sulley & Mike pins! But I hit several other collections too: characters in costume, Toy Story, Halloween and villains.

Thanks to you traders before me and esp to @Mcgilligan for starting the box! I loved the set-up of it by the way.

Working to get it packed up tonight!

It's absurdly pleasing to see someone pick pins that you put in the box!

Great picks, I'm glad you found things for your collection!

YES! I'm always most excited to see picks when it's either something from the person's wish list or something that I put in. The best is when it's both. :3
