Pin of the month Millennium Falcon price
Somewhere, someone payed a ridiculous about for that pin and the FB pin community has never let it go. Far be it from be to say what a pin is actually worth. But no, this pin is not worth that. I think it's a case of false inflation.Boy was I in for a surprise when I went to search for a Millennium Falcon pin, it's going for over 100 bucks! Am I looking up the wrong pin, it is le 6,000 right?

My only point of reference was the 60th anniversary diamond countdown pins. The first one took a while to sell out, but then the series took off and everyone was searching for the first one released and those that had it jacked up the price. It was LE 3000. About a year or so after the last DLR 60th countdown was released, the price came down (from $150-$200) to about $70. So I would imagine the same will happen with the MF pin.Yeah, this is definitely a case of false inflation. It's insane to pay 100+ for an le6000 that came out in the last year. Hopefully that price will come down eventually or you can see if you can find some reasonable person selling it for a reasonable price.
I will say, in its defense, it was released first at the Star Wars 40th Anniversary con/event in Orlando and it was a few weeks until the pin made it to the park. But even then, if lasted for quite a while. I think I picked up over 10 of them...

Agreed.I'm thinking even non pin collector Star Wars fans may be getting them...
I bought a second AT-AT as a gift for my nephew... probably a month or perhaps two after it was released. This is crazy.Looks like At-At is also commanding a serious price...WOW

No Lynn no! Not to the dark side you go.Wow. I bought 2 way back, and traded 1. (way back). At those prices selling is tempting.....
Don't think I haven't. XDYou still got some lying around somewhere? Run, go check under your couch...
Also completing the set, so, no selling...No Lynn no! Not to the dark side you go.
Okay crossed my mind too, but I am completing the set, so there is nothing to sell... Nothing to sell... Nothing to sell...
Keep repeating...
He saw a basic Aladdin pin he wanted to trade for and the trader asked him for his MF pin. Another overheard and he offered to go buy him a pin from the store so he could trade for the MF. I felt like wolves were circling
My oldest bought the MF when it was released. It was on that trip that I had introduced my kids to pin trading. They each got to buy some and they traded a little. When we went our second time, many months later, the MF was selling for hundreds. We didn’t know that though. He saw a basic Aladdin pin he wanted to trade for and the trader asked him for his MF pin. Another overheard and he offered to go buy him a pin from the store so he could trade for the MF. I felt like wolves were circling, so I told him to hold onto it because he liked it and later told him that people seemed way to anxious to get him to trade it away. Later in the day, we ran into someone who said the MF was going for a lot at auction. I looked it up and that’s when I discovered why I wish we had bought more than one, lol
As I read this, I started getting that awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. I am so glad you did not trade it away.My oldest bought the MF when it was released.
