What would you collect?
Besides finishing off the collections I have (marquees, Tron, Haunated Mansion, Star Wars/Star Tours, Toy Story Mania, some Pixar), I would like to have continued my anniversary collection. I used to collect movie and attraction anniversary pins as I love the celebration of a major milestone and comparing the different designs of the pins from one anniversary to another. I mainly stopped because I ran out of room to put these pins some where.
 
Finally completing my Phantom Manor collection! That and collecting just any Haunted Mansion pin... I do limit my Mansion collection a bit... mostly just pins of the characters, with an emphasis on the Hitchhikers, Hatbox Ghost and Organist. Phantom Manor however I just try and collect any pin that has anything to do with the ride anyway, even if the pin is pretty much the same pin but with a different LE size! So I'd definitely try and complete my Manor collection first, and then go on to collecting all the Mansion pins.

I also would probably add the Monorail to my Disney Trains collection (which I've limited recently, only Train pins without characters... except for Thunder Mountain... any pin of Thunder Mountain!)... so there probably wouldn't be a limit on that either.... but yeah, I might add the Monorail or something like that.
 
If money was no object, I'd collect all of the Epcot original attraction pins. A complete Pixar collection would be a close second
 
I'd still collect everything that I collect now, except I'd own ALL of the outrageously expensive, HTF pins that I'm missing but would love to own someday. The reason I collect what I collect is because I love it and it speaks to me for various reasons, not because it's expensive or agreed to as 'valuable' by the pin trading community - and I would continue to collect it even if the values completely drop (and there are a few collections I dearly hope do drop in value so I can complete them without going broke!)
 
I would still collect
and Cinderella, though I would be able to get more of them. And, I would probably add a couple of the REALLY pretty pins of each of the other Princesses (a girl has to have dreams) which, at this point, are the very expensive ones. TTFN, Sue
 
I would start a Beloved Tales and A piece of disney history collection. I just think those are so cool. Or jumbo pins lol
 
Same as I do know, but I would add Pascal pins. I loved him when I saw Tangled. Any maybe a Goofy collection. I seem to gravitate towards him.
 
Marie, anything bride & groom Mickey & Minnie, Ariel, jasmine, Tiana (if everything wasn't that god-awful green), Esmeralda, and port orleans resort related where we stayed on our honeymoon.

I would probably finish off my collections for Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, and Donald. For fun I would be an Ostrich pin completest and get full figure less loved heroine and princess pins for my display (like Kida and Eilonwy if they ever make one for her) Then just catch good deals on ebay more often for traders and zaps.

I would also get Wall-E, Ratigan, and Incredibles pins for my boyfriend.
 
Since I've been collecting/trading for 2 yrs now, the only new collections I've started was just Olaf, Anything Polynesian themed pins, & Wreck-it Ralph. I'm still definitely collecting Anything Aladdin & Princess & the Frog. I use to collect Little Mermaid but I've stopped my collection & only kept the ones that truly meant to my heart. The only reason I stopped was it was getting too mainstream & pretty much everybody wanted to collect them, especially Ariel. The ones I kept are on my lanyard (made by the lovely Lindsay) & the rest I have up for trade & other ones to my Best Friend who is a bigger TLM fan than I am. Here is a pic of my lanyard:

 
I would keep collecting what I do now (Tangled, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Alice, Mulan) but I'd add in the Piece of Disney Movie pins for my favorites. They're too rich for my blood right now, but I love the idea of them.
 
I would continue collecting Snow White. I would go crazy and buy all the lower edition limited edition pins I am dying to get my hands on/the really expensive frame sets. I would also collect more Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty pins. I'd also get to really start collecting Aladdin pins, which I am really trying to do. I am kicking myself for trading or selling my Aladdin collection to grow my Snow White collection (not that I would trade my Snow White collection for anything now mind you).
 
I'm actually thinking about starting a new collection , I've just displayed all my Jessica & Tinkerbell pins so other than grails I'm done shelling out for them . If money were no problem I'd go for PODM (I really wish they'd do another set) , PTD's (Of the main characters for each movie) , Marquee's & Brave . Since I have to pay the mortgage and eat I'll probably switch to Haunted Mansion & Donald whilst continuing my Tokyo Sea Disney game pins collection .
 
I forgot , I'd also pick up a whole load of other people's Grail pins . I do enjoy shopping for others and I'd love to be able to zap some of the awesome people here something they'd love . I've sent a few zaps before and I'll be doing so again I just wish I could include better pins .
 
In addition to my current collections (Mary Poppins, Sword in the Stone, Black Cauldron, Philharmagic, Main Street Electrical Parade) I'd collect the Beloved Tales series, Sorcerer Hats, Aladdin, Emperor's New Groove and probably dive back into Brave.

I was ramping up my Jessica collection right around the time the Haunted Mansion pins were the biggest craze, and I always said that I liked some of the pins from it, but would never touch it with a ten foot pole...I just wasn't willing to dump the effort and money into it. But in this scenario, I would go get those HM pins that I liked!

Other than that, I would collect Frozen. I only like the movie (not love it), but the pin aesthetics are right up my alley! Oh, and some Tangled that I've missed out on.

And, of course, all the old DA pins that are STILL on my Wants list, after all these years...
 
Probably Robin Hood. I've got one pretty cool Prince John pin from way back when. Robin Hood also has a very Peter Pan look to him too which I love. Other than that there are so many unique and cute characters in that movie. We got to meet him at Character Palooza over Halloween 2014 and it was amazing! So worth it. Best meet and greet ever. So fluffy!
