QUESTION Marvel and Lucasfilms pins

[PinTradingForFun]

I bought a grab bag of pins to trade on our next family trip to the parks. Ordered from a reputable seller to avoid scrappers to do my part. However, about a third of the lot are marked Lucasfilms or Marvel with no Disney mark. Are they still parks/cast member tradable?

Per my understanding copyrights for Marvel and Lucasfilms are now acceptable traders in the parks.

While there are plenty of Marvel and Lucasfilm pins *released by Disney* which are officially tradeable at the park, as far as I know, non-Disney pins - aka licensed or third-party pins - are still officially not tradeable.

You may find CM;s who will not accept pins without the Disney copyright and some who won't accept pins unless they have the Disney copyright and the Mickey backstamps (i.e. they may refuse third party pins such as Loungefly Disney pins, etc.)

That said, in practice - at least at the Disneyland Resort - most CM's are just happy to get real pins instead of scrappers and don't fuss over whether they are official park traders, third party pins or Marvel or Lucasfilm pins.

But you may still run into sticklers who refuse them.

So honestly, I *wouldn't* consider what you got to be all tradeable "officially", but in fact, they probably all will be usable without too much hassle.

Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to post my experience after the trip next month.

A quick follow up, we were able to trade the pins with no issues.
