Pinny Arcade Pin Pal Trading Post

I could justify it easier if it was 2 pins, one to keep and one to trade... Give me a fighting chance for the next KS pin
I might just stick with the first ever set released (and framed) and maybe pick up stuff I like here and there.

Just as disappointed as everyone else here that my pinny arcade collecting hopes ended before they even started.
The custom USB took the sting off a bit when I got mine. I regret nothing.

I don't have a problem with the Merch pin conditions. I probably spend that much every PAX to be honest, which baffles me as to why I wouldn't do this for the DLC pin tier. I guess I am not into the podcast (which I have never listened to). Maybe if there were a few other perks for that tier I would be persuaded.
Either way, meh. It won't stop me from getting pins in the future.

This thread gives no legitimacy to anyone attempting to trade with you. Any trades performed should always be assumed to be at one's own risk with no official avenue for retribution in the event of a fuckup or a scam. I wish that this hadn't come up.
Already? That sucks.
My bad. I just figured that this would be the place to try and organise things for people who can't attend PAX for the various reasons (Fear of Australian Spiders, Snakes, Drop Bears; Couldn't get tickets to Prime, etc).
I will try and think of some way to eliminate the risk from trading on here or any other means. I just don't want to have to resort to ebay-trading and the subsequent price gouging that entails. Trading shouldn't be expensive just because we can't get to each other, and whilst I wish we could meet up more often geography just won't allow it.
If mailing pins is deemed to risky and untrustworthy, what about "hold onto them until.." and either we can meet directly or have someone we know swing by and exchange?

Ah just a caveat, the way it was worded I thought something had gone down already.
Indeed. I'm holding off until after PAX Aus before I started asking for overseas pins.

So, I gather that there is the Prime set, the Australia set, and then "core set 2" being released. That, plus I would guess exhibitor exclusive ones (ala Chandra).

I figured I would ask now, so that someone who is going to PAX Aus would be more likely to buy extra sets to trade. Basically, if someone agrees to buy me an Aus set, I'll agree to buy them a Prime set. Then we just have the hurdle of swapping them

It's quite likely that once this ramps up, it will be impossible to get a complete set without grabbing multiples of rares in exchange for others. For example, Merch is seen as rare because it requires a purchase at PAX. But I already have a Merch, and will no doubt be getting at least one more at Prime (both myself and my girlfriend tend to overdose on shirts at Cons.) which I would be willing to trade for another "rare".
I think the key is to use the Core sets to trade for the Gabe/Tycho and recently-announced staff pins, and buy extra PAX sets to trade with actual Collectors. (Pinheads? Prattchet-inspired, but apt.) I'm hoping that Mike and Jerry will have a few of the more rare pins to trade each year. I think that is the reason for the "two trades per person" for the staff (in addition to not having them swamped each PAX.) They don't want you completing your collection simply by trading everything with one staffer.
Hopefully we can organise a little bit between the Collectors, and help each other out when it comes to PAX sets, at least.

I think that's how it generally works.

So, is anyone going to go for it?

I was against spending that much, but I started thinking about doing the $55 level. Now you show me that?! Arg!!

yeah i cashed in for the pin. i too thought it would just be the PADLC logo. This looks great.
EDIT: ah...just checked my email
EDIT EDIT: Thought this might be handy for some people. I had a go at recreating a bigger version of the cardboards that the pins come on which ill use when i eventually get more. Just used the colours and assets from the pinny website.

This is why I like our community Buttoneering so much
Personally I think they're great, and I'll be collecting whatever I can. Only suggestion is not to expect to get every single one unless you are truly invested in collecting the whole set, focus on ones you want.
I think I will stick to just getting the East pins.

It's $150 for the pin alone if that is all you care about ;)
If I had the option at $55 for the pin OR the USB drive, I would have put in even before seeing that awesome pin.
They mentioned somewhere (vague I know) that the blind boxes will be made of the pins that people trade into them at PAX. So there is a chance, if someone is willing to give one up. I was shocked at how many Merch pins I saw in the box at East.
