COLLECTION Completed Sets

I'll declare victory through you, I've given up hope on these. They look so good together, congrats!!

Timing is definitely everything. I started this trading hobby a few months before the first cutie set dropped (over ten years ago!) I had to trade for the first 4 (Maleficent, Ursula, QofH and Evil Queen), but early days made it a bit easier. My initial effort to chase DSSH pins from their source in Hollywood was for the second cutie set and was laughable, but I succeeded. They did not sell out during the morning release... I showed up when the store opened to buy the pins... and they still had some. Clueless about the early morning releases at that time. The only other DSSH release I attended was for the Villain Animals release and lucked out with a number allowing me to buy the set. All the rest were trades. Oogie Boogie was actually the most difficult one to obtain of any of them.

I have given up on completing so many sets, but this one somehow came together for me.
 
Well then, AMAZING display! How long did it take for you to finish the series if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks! I worked hard on getting it just right. 😎

I started collecting them around when they first came out. So about 12 years. I’m definitely a patient collector.

I went to downtown Disney yesterday to see about wave B bags. They were sold out. Unable to walk away empty-handed, I got one wave A bag. It took my breath away to find that Steamboat Willie chaser ear headband I have been searching for! DLR 2025 ear headbands complete. Now for those WDW!

Nice! Congrats.
 
I’m adding one I completed back in May but have to share the story behind it. I went to my first Tuesday pin drop the first Tuesday of May, looking for the LATT 70th anniversary pins. They didn’t drop but the lines scared the heck out of me, especially since so many people in line were not getting the pin that dropped (Tiki window). Of course the LATT pins dropped the last Tuesday and I couldn’t be there, so I got @Connies_Hobby to pick them up for me. When I went in the afternoon, they still had a ton (LATT is not popular I guess). I decided to try for the complete bone. I went home with lots of extra traders but thinking I didn’t have one complete. When I spent more time, I realized I was counting Joe as Tony and I actually had 2 complete bones!

I spent waaay too much money on this one (newbie FOMO fail) but it is my favorite set ❤️❤️❤️
