Pins and the Disney Store

When did the Disney Store stop carrying pins? Anyone know if they'll start
again once Disney takes the stores back?

Still coulda traded them with a CM though, right?

I remember they had a 100-pin series of Disney movies. I liked some of
those, but I didn't buy any because I was thinking I didn't want to get
myself hooked on pins. It was probably wise, but now I'm kinda hoping they
start carrying pins again. :-)

It's been many years since pins were carried on a consistent basis. That
said, from time to time, i've found a display of pins in the store...even
saw one about a month ago! If you go frequently enough, you will be able to
catch them, especially when they are on sale!
At this point, I find pins on ebay for trading where they are as little
as 1.80 a piece! Just put in 'Disney pins grab bag', or 'Disney pin lot'
and you will find them. You've got to scroll thru, a lot of the auctions
are for buying tons of pins at once, but the grab bag ones will sell you as
many as you want! I've done this a couple of times so that my daughter has
pins to trade as soon as we arrive...saves a TON of $$$, then we only
purchase a couple of 'special' pins.

I don't know whether to hold any hope for the stores -- today they were
out of Disney Dollars in all NH stores, and there were no adult shirts.

The store at the Pheasant Lane Mall had a few adult T shirts, but they
were pretty lame. Tons of Disney Princess stuff for Halloween though

There were pins about a month ago? We were in our store about a month ago,
and I didn't see any there. In your store, were they in the place where
they usually keep the washcloths, antenna toppers, toy cell phones, etc.?

They were in the back of the store, not in the middle with the other small
items. I live on Long Island, and they were in the Roosevelt Field Mall
store.

Back on topic (for me):

I just stopped in a Disney Store at our local mall
(Valley Fair, Santa Clara, CA) and found about
8 different pins for sale (3 were on sale for $2.99)
one was a set (bugs life?) of 4 for $14.50.

I stopped by our Disney Store (Tyson's Corner, McLean VA) today and they
also had something like 8 pins -- I remember seeing the Bug's Life set you
mention, plus a couple of Tinkerbell ones, I think a Sally from Nightmare
Before Christmas, and also Maleficent in dragon form. But I'm not sure if
any of ours were on sale. They were right at the register, but on a
display sort of under the counter -- very easy to miss them if you weren't
specifically looking for them.
