reveal/conceal means one pin is in the front and you can see it which is called revealed and then there is one in the box that is in a black bag that is concealed :0)

I remember back in late 2010, I was reading about this series' release (though I can't remember which website it was -- it was a forum-style website). This was back when I was just a little sprout when it comes to pin collecting. I recall that someone had mentioned that there were going to be only 1000 of each reveal. If that is true, the conceals should be less than 1000 each, due to the Rapunzel chaser pin (and who knows how few of those were made?!?). Disney's own Pin Trading website mentions that it was a limited release, though it also says that it was supposed to be shared between DLR and WDW, which obviously did not happen! (http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=54403)
The thing about these pins is that many people who are not regular pin collectors probably bought quite a few of these, especially since they went on sale just before Christmas, so many may be stashed away in homes away from the pin trading community.
By happy circumstance, my brother and I had already booked a holiday DLR vacation for December 16-19 (and most of those days it was pretty much non-stop rain), and I did see all 10 of the featured reveal pin boxes available at the time. They were not really selling that quickly, as I recall. It must have been the $19.95 price tag. I only bought the Snow White/Daisy Duck and Cinderella/Pocahontas boxes then. Boy, do I regret not having bought more! The rest of the pins from this collection that I wanted were all bought from eBay after I got back home (all conceals: Megara, Esmeralda, & Alice). On eBay they were fairly present for about a couple of months and then dropped off to only occasional sales once-in-a-blue-moon... So based on what I observed, all of the available pins sold out at the DLR retail purchase locations within a couple of months, maybe less. It was definitely not an open edition.

I also need Rapunzel but I collect Belle, Jasmine, and Lilo too. I would be happy with just Rapunzel. I would trade a lot for it...but since it never came out at WDW I had like no chance at all. :/ If it is re-released...can we have some please?!?!?!?!
