You could always try and start a co-op.

Oh, that's an interesting idea... I've never done anything like that before and I'm not sure how to go about it. Would I just start a thread asking if people want to chip in on this and request which pins from the set they want and pay accordingly and then hand them out as they are paid/released??
 
Haven't seen this one posted up yet (Sorry NBC collectors):

Nightmare Before Christmas Pin Collection With Display
I had been thinking of this, but from what I have seen of prior Bradford releases, the pins look very ceramicy to me rather than the more metal look of traditional pins. But I have only seen photos, none in person. Does anyone know if I am correct about that and, if so, if this set follows that trend. As an NBC collector, I am very much eyeing this, but don't want it if the pins look "odd". (And sorry @Nasubionna but I would need the complete set. )
 
They're soft enamel rather than hard enamel (the regular Disney pins). So that's a fairly big difference.

Ooof, yeah, that's a pretty big difference. I was also wondering if Bradford Exchange pins were significantly different from the usual Disney pins. I was already having a hard time justifying purchasing a big expensive set when I really only want two pins out of it, and especially now that I know they're soft enamel I think I'm gonna pass this one up and hope someone puts the two pins I want on eBay someday.
Thanks for this info, MerlinEmrys. I'd still be really curious to see your Aladdin pin!
