I made a trade with Hopemax for two of the newest Figment mystery collection pins I needed to complete the set. She did mention that she was going to send it with a little something extra :)

It arrived today and I was still taken by surprise! She sent not just one, but three extra treasures!

A Horizons Reveal/Conceal pin, probably my favourite former ride at Epcot. Yup, even more than the original Journey Into Imagination! I'm not a big Horizons pin collector, but I really wanted this one because one of my fondest memories of the queue and ride were the three future destinations you could visit. :)

A Figment magnet. No, Hope, I did not already have one! :lol: It'll make a great addition to my fridge!

And best of all, a Figment rainbow lanyard! I only just recently added this to my wants after double checking the PinPics search results for "Figment" and finding that I'd missed this one. Hope knocked it right back off my wants list! How's that for efficiency? Woohoo! :D

Thanks so much, Hope! :fig: I will definitely return the favour someday, just you wait! :rofl:
 
Cool! Congrats on being ZAPPED!! You've been very busy sending lots of zaps to others, it's really good to see you getting some return fire! :lol: Thank you Brian for all the fun and magic you send to others!! :rock:
 
I'm glad you enjoyed the zaps. Now I'm curious if you ever got the other new Epcot treasure. Did you pick up any keychains on your trip this year?

I was really glad I could finally get that package mailed, and brighten your day.

Unfortunately, my days are not too bright right now. As you know I've been dealing with my Mom's health issues (cancer), and we've reached the point of no return. She's currently under in-home hospice care, but we are reaching the point where we may not be able to care for her. It's a very rough road, because not only are we losing her, but since she has almost 16 years of service as a CM, and the privileges that were entitled to her, we will be losing that as well, and have to re-evaluate our Disney future. WDW has made a lot of changes that have been disappointing to us, and rejoining the full-price world, may not be in the cards. Not when there are the International Disney worlds to explore, and we desire a return to Walt's original park. My pins aren't going anywhere, but may need reevaluation as well. I've never focused much on the Tokyo and Paris pins much, because my Mom was always quite proficient at spending my pin budget throuh WDW, and WDI. So maybe it's time to work on that.

I didn't mean to bring down a positive thread, but I've been feeling I wanted to say something somewhere.
