PinPics exclusive pins???

Not open for further replies.
Just an FYI -- I actually bought four of the Maleficent ones at D23, and they're currently in the trunk of my car :) In comparing the ones I bought at D23 to the ones being shown as "exclusive to PinPics," they're the exact same ones, so they're technically not exclusive. Items look lovely in person, but when I was buying them, I had to go through a bunch of them to find ones where the pin wasn't flawed; the finish on a lot of the pins showed paint scuffing/streaks with a dull finish. So the flawed ones may show up with the ones that are being sold now.

yes there are 250 available, but of all four designs, and yes thier intial production was LE250, no false advertising or slyness involved, I am sorry no nefarious plans or schemes , just an offer to bring our best finds of beautiful and affordable pins to the members of our site, and remember some of our members, like here on DPF , do not live in the USA, or close to any of the major events so for them this may be the first time they see these pins, so again not nefarious, and to the nay sayers about the Premium service groups, with the discount for purchases available to Premium members about two pins a month will pay save your membership cost alone, so again we are not out to make a fortune, but we are a business just like Wallymart or Joes shubbery,

Now you do know.....

So there are about 250 pins in total available? (ie. not 250 of each, which wouldn't make sense given the edition size)

BTW: I love Pinpics, I really do, but I have to say that my jaw dropped when I saw the international shipping charges. At those prices, you ain't doing us international folk any favours. I bought a few of the Maleficents directly from Acme and, while their shipping charges were obscene, they were only about 60% of what Pinpics would charge me.
 
All 4 went completely live around 6:03pm. It took a while for the Add To Chart button to show up for the Maleficent, Evil Queen, and Snow White pages. I couldn't decide to get all four or just a pair. Ended up with deciding on the Sleeping Beauty pair.
 
I hope I can get Aurora for my cousin's collection. Anyone get one for trading?

So is DPF letting PinPics advertise for free on here? Running this site isn't free, other forums I'm on would be asking for sponsor fees to have another for-profit site peddling their "exclusive" wares.

++10000000 so sad to see something so cool just turn into another biz trying to get paid. Just like all the other re-sellers. but now they try to re-wrap it and look like they are not just the same as all the other bad guys. wow. this is what I missed the past months..

so nice that pin pics is doing that for far away pin fans. NOT!!! So sad that they are now owned and ran by people that just care about money. What a sweet biz plan. Buy something that's free to the hobby to use and than you can market to all the peole that used to love the free site. Tell them it will stay free.. kind of. just need to pay for new cool updated stuff. but part is free. oh and side note... we will send you email that is worded wrong to trick you and than we will charge you to much for the pin. all this is done to you and for you as a nice thank you from the friendly guys at PinPics. :nono::nono: :facepalm::facepalm:

Can't budget getting Aurora right now, but I do roll my eyes at whomever did the writeup:

"Aurora is usually seen in either a pink or blue satin dress." This is of course the result of Flora and Fauna's disagreement on color.
