Most likely they will still be out when you go because then it's only been a little over a month since they first came out. However, you never know for sure.....

WDW - Nov 14
DLR - Dec 12

this has been posted, i dont know why this one got the homepage...

I'm going to ask for the Pins for Christmas..lol Since DLR's Come out in December!

Good Luck Everyone! The Pins Look Awesome and so do the VMK Furniture!

:tink: Carrie :tink:

Awesome... WDW gets it a month b4 DLR though ... ROAR

WOOT! I go to DL on the 18th!!!

DLR has now so much better stuff for VMK :(. proably cause it is the original park, but WDW is bigger and better (in my opinion)

WDW gets these first this time. Have no fear. ;-)

WDW gets it before , and to tell you the truth my personal opinion is wdw is Disneyland and parts of DCA spread into different parks they can charge for. Waterparks are cool but there has been rumors of a water park at DLR
Nothing really surprising to me.

Those are sweet. If only lDisney would build DNE(Disney New England) or something of the sorts. :(

yays i going to WDW december 2nd! i so happy got 100 dosney dollars form my grandmother! :) pins are going to be say about.. $5.00 right? that means about.. 20 pins.. which means to of each.. treasure seat rocks!

2 pins a box, each box has surprise pins and 2 surprise vmk cards (you wont know what they are until opened, then pretty sure you cant return them after that because they are vaccuum sealed). Also, each box is $14.00

In the end, you get 2 random vmk pins and cards every $14.00

yup, $14, im probably gonna get a set...

yay! I'll be up in WDW when they start selling. I'll probably get 2 packs.

Woot! This is cool! :)

If they were mail order right now, I'd be very happy. Lol. I have to wait till december 2nd ( trying to get seating at the taping of the parade ) or december 26th to get them.

I belive this is unfair. You have to buy a pin to get a card. I belive that you should work hard like going aroud the kingdom ( at least it gives you excersise. ) But we have to spend our money to get a virtual thing. I mean VMK is not life. Well it might be to some people but they ae taking money away from the people who just want a fire window or a pirate couch. Does anyone agree?

well, each pin alone in disney parks is usually anywhere from $5-$16. Getting 2 in a mystery box, and 2 vmk cards for $14 is really a great price. Besides, you don't even have to buy it because of vmk prizes, the pin alone is worth getting it. I'm sure people who like vmk (and collectors) will want the pins just as much as the cards.

Wait a minute.. arent you allowed to order it by phone or e-mail?

$14?

Im gonna have to bring ALOT of money so I can get all of them when I next go to WDW :D

There well be no limit ... it is a open edition ..Disney will rake in the money now ...

Nice, they are a bit steep... by a lot actually. Do you people actually see that? You wonder why VMK is free, right here is your answer. Disney can probably make the card and pin for 5 cents in China (including shipping) then they sell it for $14 in the parks. That is pure profit going into their pockets. Sneaky people. Personally I never wanted to ever buy a pin, and I am glad I didn't even give in my decision.

Im Buying ALOT Of Pins In Mail! XD Like.. 45!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!XD LOL JUST KIDDING!
Buy them.. THEN SELL THE PINS O N EBAY! MWHAAAAA AND KEEP THE CARDS!

They will cost a bit below $150 if you bought them all. I was thinking about the eBay possibility, for the people out of state, but then changed my mind. It was too risky. Would someone not in Florida or Cali. want to pay more then $15? probably not.

These are now available at Downtown Disney at Pin Traders, I saw them this past Saturday while attending the Festival of the Masters. The price is more than fair since the normal 'rack' open edition pins are $6.95.

I go to WDW in March. I hope they are still there

when will this end in WDW

Cool! I can't wait!! :)

Can you order the pins online?
From a disney pin event site, it said something about tax and shipping and handling fee, but can you order then now?
I really want some of those bird hats, firewalls and other stuff, but I live mroe than eight hours away from WDW :(

I was thinking the same thing @_@

You can order them. Just call or email them tomorrow...

Ok, thanks Thenishall :)

even if u go to DLR ??

even if u go to DLR ??

Uh, just call them. Those dates are for when they are realesed at the parks, I think..

Where is the site available to order them?

Uh, just call them. Those dates are for when they are realesed at the parks, I think..

ok thanks :) shipping is probably going to cost a lot though

ATTENTION!

All the pins are going to be able to buy TOMORROW! (11/14/06) And for LIMITED TIME! So I would suggest to buy them soon!

Attention Over

do u have to but these cards? how many come in a box? can u but them directly at WDW?

Will answer all your questions.

Yes you have to buy these cards.
2 cards come in a box.
You can buy them directly at WDW

Nuff said.

Where is the site available to order them?

No you do not have* to buy these cards.

Two pins and a VMK Card come in a box (randomly picked pins)

Yes

Have fun.

* You don't HAVE to do anything

so that means 1 pin per box or 2. and 2 cards or 1 pin?
where do u but them at WDW?

Check the link in the newsletter or on the VMKF homepage there is information on there about them. They are suppose to be available to order over the internet tomorrow and officially for WDW tomorrow even though they have been released early at certain locations.

P.S. DLR will not receive them at the parks until 12/12/06 officially although they may get released early.

To order this item:

Contact Walt Disney World® Merchandise Guest Services at 407-363-6200 or send an e-mail: wdw.mail.order@disneyworld.com to place an order.

If sending an e-mail, please write "Attn: Pins" in the subject line.

Please reference the SKU number(s), description of the pin(s) and quantity desired.

SKU: 10905152

Retail: $14.00

Open edition pins available for immediate order.

Applicable sales tax plus shipping and handling fees will apply.

All pins will be available while supplies last.

All sales are final - no refunds, no returns via Walt Disney World® Mail Order.

You get two random pins of the series of ten and the two corresponding cards.

I knew sooner or later that Disney would start raking in the dough from this "free" online game. Luckily I'm a pin trader anyway, so the pins will come in handy to trade with the Castmembers for pins I really want.

Hmm, I may save up a bit of money to order some.

I'd probably give the pins to my little sisters though, they really like things like that.

I'm just in it for the VMK stuff. ;)

Welll atsleast we got information on the ride comp, anyways, the bubble with Yavn's head where Yavn Speaks looks a bit scary to me. Yavn's just looking at you...

The parks have been doing the "free VMK card with purchase" deal for quite a while. Interesting that they're doing it with pins now. While I'm not a fan of the random cards (I am a pin collector, but I could use some for trading) I could see myself picking up a box now and then during a park visit.

I really don't like that they're random. I prefer to be able to select what I'm buying.

Just got back from WDW. When we got there the pin hut at Downtown was sold out and wer were told to go to MK as they had 200 boxes. By the time we got there, they were sold out. The other parks each showed an inventory of less than 20 so we didn't bother. Before we went to MK we talked to a manager at the pin hut to find out if anymore would be in. He said they had asked for 200 more to be delivered but could not guarentee if they would arrive today or what time. Around 2:00 pm they did arrive. They knew we had been waiting for them (as we were stalking the hut...lol) so we got first dibs (I was concerned that whoever bought all the MK pins would buy all the pin hut pins). The line grew quite long right after us and many were buying 10 sets or more at a time.

We managed to get a full set (yay) ss now i have to put the codes in. For those of you collecting the cards...some bad news....the pin skewers the cards. :( Happy hunting!

With that news- start checkin' Ebay... :rolleyes:

With that news- start checkin' Ebay... :rolleyes:

You are right! It must be really hard to get a set then!

Also, the pirate pin is the same as the insider pirate pin. I have everything in and am online if want ot see. :D

WOOT! You go girl. Thanks for the first hand report from the parks for those of us who don't live near by..teehee

For those of you collecting the cards...some bad news....the pin skewers the cards.

I was afraid of that. Why don't they ever think of the card collectors?

Also, the pirate pin is the same as the insider pirate pin. I have everything in and am online if want ot see. :D
So the new pin is called "Pirates Quest Insider Tour Pin"?

Yes but u can order them by phone or e mail i am getting mine in 10 or 15 days

I was afraid of that. Why don't they ever think of the card collectors?


So the new pin is called "Pirates Quest Insider Tour Pin"?

It sure is, thought it would be called something different at least. I'd wear two to show you but it would be pointless.

I hope this is just an example of 'first day rush' like the release od PS3 coming up. I'll be there next Monday so hope they restock. Then again, I can see eBay vultures buying dozens of boxes, opening them, and reselling the pins for twice or three times their price. Only if Disney releases many boxes will the cost be kept down (on eBay that is). Can't wait to get my pins! (Or see yours Greenhpper!)

I'm wondering if there'll be the same type of rush at DL next month. The 12th is a Tuesday, and just a few weeks before the X-mas crowds come in. I'm wondering if that weekend would be a good time to go down and try to find some...

Be calm. These are open editions. There will be more than plenty to go around. Pin Traders (not called a pin hut), at Downtown Disney (Orlando) almost always gets pin related items first and sometimes before the release date, such as the VMK pin/cards. Then the rest of the parks. There were plenty last Saturday. If they are gone now, there will be more. Be patient.

I only bought one set for now. I plan to buy more when I get more money. And they are on my Christmas list.

If they were mail order right now, I'd be very happy. Lol. I have to wait till december 2nd ( trying to get seating at the taping of the parade ) or december 26th to get them.



You can order them. I ordered 4 sets by mail sunday night.

There was a thread on this about 6 months ago, i think it was in the secret section.

There was a thread on this about 6 months ago, i think it was in the secret section.
But now it's relevant, as the pins are actually available.

this morning the people said that i can not order them until february (yes this was while on the fone) because they dont have as many as they were suppose to get. Due to that, they cant risk telling ppl stuff such as "oh next week" and then let their hopes down. Furthermore, they said they needed to notify people who have been told stuff such as next montht that , that is not true anymore.

Sounds like Disney wasn't expecting this kind of wild success for this particular marketing scheme.

lol tell me about it


and the fact yavn said "first set" in the newsletter makes me wonder, "What, if any, and when is more coming out?"

This is a great marketing technique for a "free" game

I think the success of this first series pretty much guarantees that we'll see more.

The game is, of course, still free. None of these items are mandatory purchases.

I ordered yesterday at 8 A.M I believe when thats like the earliest time you can order? [ Correct me if Im wrong ] And I got ( wait 2 weeks message )

i know the game itself is free. I'm just pointing out how they make money from us for a game which is free to play, but in this case (and also for home theater collection and booking trips), is not entirely free.

I just received and email from the Official Disney Pin Order site stating they can not fill my order until 02/07. Oh well.

I am lucky i order mine at 9:00am ( well my mom did when i was at school for me ) so i will be getting mine in 9-14 days ( we order the day they came out :) )

see, you got told february also. another person prooving (sp? lol) what i said

I'll be going back to the parks (WDW) this weekend. I'll let you know if I spot any boxes. As I said before, don't panic, there will be enough for everyone. DLR receives theirs on Dec 22. So be patient.

I Bought Some An They Have The Wrong Code On The Back !!!
Waiting To Here Back From Them .. Good Luck

Now that the bubbling cauldron, spooky tree and with other retired Haunted Mansion quest items, it could be a Haunted Mansion set.

Actually, 12th. Disneyland receives their's first usually because the office (like the Toontown Office) is closest to DLR. (The other office is a little farther away from WDW but is close and around the same range, it just was produced in the DLR Office).

The Bubbling Cauldron wasn't a quest item.

Just to back up what camara and madamecat stated, I actually contacted "Walt Disney World Merchandise Services" who also stated that these pins where completely sold out and they where not receiving more until February 2007. I contacted them on two seperate occassions just to see if I would get a seperate response from another representative, but the same answer came up that they where sold out. Please note, These are open stock pins also so they will most definitely get more.

They'll probably sell out even more quickly at Disneyland.

lol, thats going to be Disney's PS3 situation over at Disneyland.

December 12, not 22.

My pin boards say the 22nd for DLR, so it's been changed. As far as WDW being 'sold out' we long time pin collectors know that story all too well and the 'look we found another box' usually comes into play not long after the 'sold out' deal.

What????? Not sure what you're trying to say here.

Well, whaddaya know. Maybe they changed it due to the unexpected demand.

Uhhh, doubt it. Anyway, I'm done posting to this thread. What will be will be and if everyone wants to complain and whine, feel free. I was only trying to help since I go to WDW every week, been on VMK since day day 3 (beta) and have been on the Disney pin trading scene for over 6 years. Yeah, what do I know....

I ordered 10 boxes on opening day and they told me I should get them in 10 to 14 days. I hope, after hearing all about everything being sold out, that I won't hear the same thing. If you can get them from the park, try to because my shipping was 26 bucks!

I would like to know from the people that are getting complete sets how many did they have to go through?

I wonder why they came out at WDW first.Too bad im going this monday to DLR and wont be able to buy the pins.

We got a full set from 10 boxes but I hear tell we were lucky. Once their back in stock we might get more to try for another set but we'll see. Good luck on your ten boxes. :D

So according to Dizpins.com, the Pirate card/pins are being pushed back at DL from 12/12 to 12/22. Great.

Yeah, I saw that. Maybe after seeing the sales figures from Walt Disney World, they decided to hold off and order more before making them available at Disneyland.

Thats what i was thinking

Alert - the pins came out today at Disneyland :xmastree:

You can call Disneyland DelivEARS (number below) and order the POTC VMK mystery pins. I called earlier this morning and was able to order several boxes.

Disneyland DelivEARS:
1-800-362-4533 (press 1 when the phone answers)
Call between 8 AM and 5 PM Pacific time Monday-Friday, or 8 AM to 4 PM Pacific time on the weekends (I think).

Monday-Friday 11 AM - 8 PM
Saturday-Sunday 11 AM - 7 PM

SKU # 11494001
$14.00 per box (1 box contains 2 pins), plus shipping.

They said the pins will probably be shipped out some time next week and may take a couple weeks to arrive.

Good luck if you're ordering :)

I purchased my pins from Disneyland today. P.T. Flea's in DCA was the only location still with them when I arrived.

Details:
Limit 25 boxes per person
1 case = 10 boxes
1 sealed case = 2 full pin sets (2 of each pin/card)

They still had a few left behind, but they were going fast.
