New Pins Coming On-line!....MYSTERY!
I think that this is in response to a lot of those subscription websites like LootCrate or the Marvel Collector's club (I think it's called?) type companies. I don't think it's something I'm going to get right away, but maybe I will once on my birthday month! Seems like an exciting surprise.
Are they gonna show the pins or is it like a mystery box?I'd get it if I knew what was inside haha.
nope it's a mystery box xD
I love this idea and would definitely consider getting it but $40 is kinda steep for me
A way to get LE pins away from the parks with a release date actually announced in advance? I'm thrilled. Compared to the secondary market (which is usually our only option), this is a bargain. I can't afford it every month, but I will save my pennies and take advantage when I can.
ETA: The blog specifically says the price includes shipping.
Is it though? I kind of assume that OE pins won't really have much value beyond current OE price points, in that most people "will just wait until the pin is officially released, when they can buy it with their Disney Visa, AP discount, etc." Especially, among those holding the pins most people want (SoCal folks, and others near parks). Then you are basically paying $40 for a LE500 pin. Fine if it's Frozen. But you can buy many DSSH pins of a similar LE for less than $40.
I would just caution that this may not be the "help" people not located by a theme park think it could be. Especially if releases are for less popular movies, have too many words on them, etc. It seems like a good way to overpay for pins, and end up with a bunch of traders that no one wants.
Oh, I plan to be cautious and see how this goes. But note the beginning of my sentence: Compared to the secondary market, it's a bargain. Or can be. Yes, the mystery element makes it a risk, but I personally love mystery boxes. It's not always just about the trade value. Sometimes it's just about the chance to have some fun with this hobby.
So much this.I would just caution that this may not be the "help" people not located by a theme park think it could be. Especially if releases are for less popular movies, have too many words on them, etc. It seems like a good way to overpay for pins, and end up with a bunch of traders that no one wants.
