DLR New Pin Game at DLR
I went to the Launch Bay today to go to the AP corner, and in the back area there is now a pin game. You start by spinning a dial to see what tier you can trade in (tier 1, 2, or 3, with 3 being the best), and then you play another game where you try and roll a ball across two metal poles; the farther along you can roll it the more tries you have to pick a pin to trade. Apparently tier 3 is limited edition pins!
I made it to tier 2, and got the ball to the 2 tries spot. Then, when it was my turn to trade, the cast member had me pick a random pin from a tin. I didn't like the two pins I picked out (one was a Chernabog watch HM, and I forget the other one but it was also a recent HM), so the cast member let me do one more pick (the Mickey trophy HM). I didn't have a ton of traders on me so I passed on that one too, since I didn't like it as much as the traders I had. Since I didn't do any trades from the tin, I was able to do one trade from a big trading board that was on the table. A lot of it was the usual uninteresting fodder, but there were a couple newer HMs. I found and traded for the new Gadget's Go Coaster ride sign HM, which I really wanted for my Rescue Rangers collection.
I don't know all the specifics, though I was taking with the people around me and it seems as if the game has been there for a few weeks at least. The man in front of me who told me what the line was for said that the game was run Friday through Sunday, though I don't know if that is for sure. I'm also not sure on the timing for the game (what time it opens and what time it closes) or how long it's going to be there. But if you'll be in the parks in the near future it might be worth it to check out. (Also bring LE pins in case you get to tier 3 - I overheard them asking tier 3 people if they had LE traders, which means the tier 3 board is probably an LE for LE board.)
