Wish I had thought of it.

I am sort of curious how much the pins actually cost to make. I think the cheaper ones sell for about $8.95 or so at the parks and go up from there, so I would think they are making quite a profit on the pins...

The official Disney pins say "made in China" so it is quite a HUGE profit at that.

My guess is they cost well under a dollar each to make, especially given where they are coming from (China). The larger, more complicated ones, probably a couple bucks.

No doubt Disney makes a mint off of them, and vinyls.

I thought I had lost my little pin collection, including the cool lenticular "E=mc^2" TV Muppet pin hubby bought me on our last trip.

But I found it!!! Yay me!!!

(It was on my dresser. About time to clean it off, I guess.)

Funny...

I don't think I've ever traded for a pin.
When I find one I like, I just get it.

Then it's hard to display those...
'Cause I don't want to trade them, but I still want to show them off.

I know. Stupid problem to have.

'first world problem'

These are my latest pins from my last trip in April. I finally got around to putting them on a new cork board!

Very nice cousininmiami! I really like the sculpted edge of the corkboard ~ did you do that yourself or find one that way?

I bought the cork board at The Container Store, they have a ton of different kinds and sizes. I will need a couple more trips to fill that one up!

It does look like you have a little cork board real estate for your next trip That is a really cute border and fits well with your collection!

Ah, yes. In fact I started another thread about that somewhere. I will have to search around to find it..


So here is what I have.









Sorry the pics are kinda bad.. the iPod touch doesn't have a great camera. If you guys want I can take better pics.

I would love to see clearer pictures when you get a chance. I can definitely see your love of Figment in your collection I like that Mickey Mouse Spaceship Earth one ~ I bought that the last time (or maybe the time before) that we went

Alright, well I am about to head to work, so I will try to do that either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Love your pins Figmentaholic! I noticed that you display some still with the backing that says limited edition! I started doing that too with some that I have purchased recently. I love love love pins and especially love your Figment pins, you have a wonderful collection!

I have been working on orgnaizing mine for so long now! I already have 6 books full and 4 more to do, and I still think I will need to buy more!
