Retro i see.. less buying for me though..

...it's really impressive to have an event with so many pins, and not a damn one I'm interested in.

That's why I'm skipping this one. :sad:

a lot of us skipping it this year ! I usually go with 8 people and none of us are going .

Got a feeling there will be a ton of the pins on racks then.

Well, the pin event is still the best trading I have, hands down, so I'll go for that.

BTW, I'll be in Humble in a month or so- let me know if you'd like anything from WDW, and maybe we can meet up for coffee or something.

Fantastic! Definitely let us know when you'll be in town.

I hope all of you aren't coming just because of the pins? It would be awesome to meet you guys. You could think of it this way - you save more money this year!!! Who knows, you might miss out on several good trades if you don't go

If you aren't going this year, maybe at least go on the public day in you live nearby? Thats better than nothing

Well, for me to go involves hotel costs, possible rental car costs, etc. I'd much rather save up the money for a longer stay in October.

I agree with all of this both about the prices and the range its difficult I suppose given the theme but I am not really impressed. Going anyway as I am on vacation at this time and I agree its the best trading opportunity oever. However I dont blame anyone for not making a special journey

Well, that's definitely one of the problems they have with these events...they're trying too hard with themes. The themes are great for the T-shirts and promo pins and such, and maybe a pin or two in the catalog. But I think they forget that most of us collect characters, and that a lot of us are to the point that we can't afford (or don't have enough room for) just any old pin.

Do the theme for a few pins and the special purchase stuff, and then give us a series of really NICE designs with our favorite characters just doing what they do best. Where Dreams Come True had a pretty nice series of pins just for that reason...the theme was great in that it allowed the characters to be themselves.

Remember what a mess the Expedition: Pins pins were? I mean, if you looked at that Stitch pin, and you didn't know anything about the "story" behind the event, would you know what the heck was going on? Stitch, hanging in a volcano, grabbing at some weird looking thing...? Yeah. Not great for post-event trading.

Are there only 4 not 6 pwp pins? If so its another declining by degrees
