Are the double secret boxes still available somewhere? Or how are you getting some now?
They're not available again as yet.
The ones I just received were in an order I placed last year which contained a preorder item. That preorder item recently came into stock and they shipped the order out.
We're all keenly awaiting the time when the next batch is released.
Oooooo, this totally makes starting a new job this week worthwhile... Well, apart from the whole being able to pay rent and bills thing, that's OK too.
If they do decide to hide new pins in the blind boxes, do you think they will give us warning/a chase list? or will they be discovered as people pop them? Scary thought!
We will def tweet the info just like last year. You can follow Brian @retnus or me at @alkempkey. his will be specific as well as professional and mine will just be a retweet followed by a 'SQUEEEEE!' Take your pick!
Can we get a rough idea of what the stock might look like @merchmistress ? The last mini-release sold out in about 5 minutes IIRC (presumably because it was very small), but the original blind box drop lasted a healthy amount of time.

I don't have the numbers folks. when I do get them, unfortunately I can't share that info. You should have plenty of notice and again, I would highly recommend following Brian @retnus for updates. Not a tweeter? We also have a newsletter you can subscribe to as well! Or one of the gems in this community can post the tweet when it pops up. but whatever you do.... DONT MISS OUT ON THE GREATEST PURCHASE OF YOUR LIFE! (Just had to throw some drama in there)
Great now I have 2 things I need to keep an eye on(good thing I have 2 eyes). What is going make me open my wallet first Double Secret Boxes or Pax Prime badges
Huzzah for June boxes! Just in time for some sweet Prime trade gathering. I feel like a game of hungry hungry hippos; I'm just consuming all things pin so I can have enough tradeables!
Thanks for continuing the blind boxes. I saw the x-mas announcement and decided to wait until I got home to purchase. That... was a mistake.
Would it be possible to know how much each of them will cost? Trying to figure out how to budget my spending money for PA merch between the retiring pins and other merch and now this.
I'm thinking of going for 10x Double Secret Boxes again this time. Not because I think my luck will be any better than last time (boo, combinatorics!), but because it will give me something for the trade tables - variety. A lot of what ends up on the Pin Trading Event tables is that specific event's core set. Sure, I will probably end up with a handful of Lookouts 02 and Castle Guy, but there are going to be new collectors that don't have those pins. I would rather have a random assortment for trading at that event than 4-5 core sets to plop down. Now the question is which will sell out faster, blind boxes or PAX badges?
Pins for trade!

http://pinmash.info - Two pins enter, one pins leaves... then the other pin leaves with a lower Elo rating
Even if we could say, we wouldn't guess because its super hard to judge demand for these little gems.
Will there be a LE Beker-autographed tiny blue ziploc bag in any of these blind boxes?

That seems like a silly thing to be in there.

I guess that gives me some time to save up extra cash for pins. But dammit, why does June have to be so far away?!

Always presume that "SOON" is somewhere between Blizzard-SOON and Valve-SOON.
Ha, see @merchmistress, I told you they would not consider that soon(tm).

Our pin appetite is STRONG!
The retired sets will be 12% off of $30, so just under $27 each.
And the new core set it's safe to assume those will be $30 each.

Dunno about other quantities, but 10 Double Secret Boxes shipped within the US was $10.29 shipping.

Do the blind boxes not have interesting things in them? Or what exactly goes into them?
