Disneyland Paris Pins for January 2013 – Sith, Jedi, Princesses & Pumpkins
Is it really 2013 already? The answer to that is yes, and with the new year comes a whole set of new pin releases in Disneyland Paris. We start off on January 5th with a couple of rather generic looking Yoda and Darth Vader pins, which has me wondering if these were always planned or whether the recent acquisition of LucasFilm by Disney has something to do with these pins being brought out. If I can skip ahead to the following week’s releases, we also have a Star Tours pin. This…

Disneyland Paris Pins for October 2012 – Say Hello to Frankenweenie!
Frankenweenie is the upcoming Tim Burton film which is an extended version of a short film he made in 1984. Now I remember seeing the 1984 version in the cinema, but I don’t remember seeing Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend which was the only film it was shown before, according to Wiki! Anyway, back to pins, and as you can see Frankenweenie plays a big part in the pin releases in Disneyland Paris for October: I pretty much always like the booster sets as they represent great value and are…

Disneyland Paris Pins for June 2012 – A massive 14 pins, including Duffy
The pins are coming in thick and fast in Disneyland Paris these days and June 2012 sees 14 released, all different types of pin as you can see from the poster. In the top left you can see the pin game that was launched this month as part of the May 2012 releases and I talked about previously. It looks like there is a 3 pin set that comes out in June that goes with the game and together it forms a train with 3 carriages. That 3 pin set costs…

Disneyland Paris Pins for March 2012 – The Pins are back, 20th Anniversary Specials
After 2 months of me complaining, justifiably, that the Disneyland Paris pin releases were too few in number, we have 14 for March 2012 – almost 5 times as many as January and February combined! I think the starter kit is absolutely fantastic and I like those pins better than the main pin releases. I really like the stamp design of the starter kit pins, and I know it’s simple and maybe obvious, but putting 20 where the price would normally be is a nice touch. I have to get one…

Video of a pin trading event in Disneyland Paris
At last! After over a year of searching, I finally have a video of and can see exactly what goes on at a pin trading event in Disneyland Paris. This particular video is from a pin trading event in the Newport Bay Club hotel from 19th December 2009.

Thanks for sending me the link to your video David, aftyer hearing me go on about it…

Disneyland Paris Pins for January 2012 – Just One New Pin
It’s taken me ages to find out what the new pin releases are in Disneyland Paris for January 2012 as the pin trading page on the official website still has the December 2011 pins displayed. Thanks to a friend who is a cast member I at last have the January 2012 releases. As you can see there is only 1 new pin for January 2012 and that came out last Saturday, exactly 1 week ago. It’s the pretty standard Sorcerer Mickey, Castle and Earful Tower with the year pin release that…
