UK coming soon pins
martin, I went to 2 of the stores in London, one on oxford road (i think) and they had virtually no pins at all except 3 at best of the toy story pin set and tink on moon pin.. the one near to covent gardens faired better as they had a fair few more pins on sale but was still lacking in what they had to choose from.
 

can you take pictures.
 

 
It is quite a nice big pin. The details on the faces is well done, really looks like the characters from the movie. Good job!

Measures 2in long by 1.5in wide
 
Hi Dax,

I know one store that you can virtually get the whole of last years releases from as they are hidden away in a draw!!

However, my two most local stores no longer have pins behind the counter as they all went on sale! Even the 'Love' pin that didn't go on sale has now gone...

The pin selection is quite depressing. Can't they give us some cool pins like the US site...

I went to the store on Oxford St. in London this past October, and after scouring the entire 2 stories for pins and starting to panic that they had none, I spotted a measly couple of designs near the cash register. I asked the cashier if that was all they had, and she pulled out 2 huge drawers from the back. Unfortunately for me, at that point I had wasted so much time that I didn't have time to go through the drawers. I just took a chance and grabbed 2 pins, and that was all I was able to get on my quest across the pond

Oh, how I wish I could redo that afternoon...
 
I know the manchester store had boxes in the drawers behind the till and Id say most of the designs of pins couldnt be shown on the measly sized board in the middle of the till area which is why I think alot of the pins are in the drawer as they cant simply be advertised in such a small space.

When we had a pin meet at the store (only had a few before it stopped) they brought out a cork board with all the old pins on which was to show what they still had on sale, I dont know if they still have it or not but when I was new I saw the board and got to see old pins which I never got to see.
 
Congrats cherie! Now I really wish I would've paid for Express. Ah well. *Crosses fingers for tomorrow*
 
Still no dispatched e-mail.

cherie, did you get the dispatched e-mail the day your stuff arrived?

Yes, I always get a dispatched email on the morning of the day the pins arrive. And I paid for express, I don't usually because I buy enough to get free basic postage - but since I didn't order so much this time I forked out an extra £1 for express.
 
hope mine comes tomorrow to,just to put my mind at rest,even if it does i wont get to see it until next friday as my girlfriend has got the new releases towards my birthday
 
I got my Dispatched e-mail people! So it should be coming sometime today! Just gotta hope now that the Gaston pins are actually in it.
 
Despatched e-mails received at 7am this morning - wifey has just rung me & it looks like they have all been delivered approx 10.30am! Will look through the packages when I get home later!
 
Depends Martin - that's why I said i'll have a look when I get home as I also have trades coming my way! Just because there's packages doesn't mean that I have everything I ordered!
 
Well, my packages have turned up today but yet again they were just shoved through the letterbox, with the delivery guy signing for them himself! I'm really annoyed about this. i complained the other week when this happened and now it's happened again. I'm going to make a complaint and really push it this time as I don't see why i sohuld have to pay £4.95 per delivery when they're doing nothing more than Royal Mail would do. Quite what comeback we'd have if the parcel was opened and something was missing I don't know.

The irony here is that my husband was (yet again) waiting for the delivery so it's not like the courier even bothred to ring the doorbell!
 

thats out of line and I hope the person gets a fair warning or worse as its not on that the delivery guy is doing that. keep us all posted on what happens, its obviously the same guy and probably to lazy to even ring/knock on your door.
