That's all Disney. They love the pin trading. In honesty, it is fun to do in Disney.

That's true, but taking a cool park experience and bringing it to a convention just seems silly.

They do the pin trading at PAX as well. It's pretty popular.

It's a good way to meet new people?

The only pin I want is the Bossk pin. Though I'm surprised there isn't a VIP pin set.

Another book to buy.

There is this one.

The Ultimate Guide to Vintage Star Wars Action Figures, 1977-1985: Mark Bellomo: 9781440240591: Amazon.com: Books

It looks very thorough.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Yeah I been watching that one. But I thought there was something missing someone said. Not sure if it was images of all the cards or something like that?

I thought you ordered this one.

That's all Disney. They love the pin trading. In honesty, it is fun to do in Disney.

They are actually backing off it a bit in the parks, you don't see EVERY cast member with pins to trade, only certain locations. There's an entire market on ebay where you can buy literal lots of knock-off and 2nd quality pins from China for pennies on the dollar. So a smart person with a few kids could buy 100 random pins for $40-50 and trade them in-park for more desirables.

For the hard-core collectors, they sponsor trading events where a person with a discerning eye would be able to pick out a bogus pin.

Not yet. I throw stuff on my wishlist to purchase later.

Gotcha.

Saw this in a review which may be what made me hesitate.

This book has awesome, almost full page background stories for each figure, creature or vehicle/play set. Great color photography of the figures from most angles. But it does not include photos of both the figures AND the packaging for each item. Maybe only about 30% of the items have a photo of their packaging.

 

[Darth Waller]

Gotcha.

Still sounds worth a purchase to me.

I've been waiting for this other book since CV!

The Saga Museum | A complete photographic guide to STAR WARS Toys 1977-2008

Unfortunately, I wish it was two volumes with one for vintage and one for new, but I'm sure they know one would sell much better than the other.

Not that bib....lol
If any jedi are going to the store on weds and spend $130.00 I will gladly buy the yoda off you if you can snag me one
Also I guess gammy and Ackbar are part of the jedi set ...so I guess I need to get set
And of course slug in a box

That's the one I bought

Buy someone else's stuff and let they pay you back.

I'm fine helping out as I don't care about the pins... the only one I kind of want is Wicket. And I'd like to get one for my kid, but not sure which one... maybe a stormtrooper or Vader as she likes both of them.

Another book to buy.

Nice, I own most of the sets, but would love a book on them.

 

[Kuzeh]

I'm so broke right now it's actually a good thing... Will buy pretty much nothing so I'll just enjoy the experience!! [emoji1][emoji1][emoji1]

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

I would like TIE, Hammy and Wicket.

Think you will have to buy the sets to get those ?
