ditto,
I suppose we could call it Pin Pals.
I would also be looking to set up such an arrangement.
Pin Pals? I love it. I'd be interested in setting something like that up for East. And anyone who's willing to trade a PAX Prime set for either the Twisp & Catsby set or next year's PAX East set, please let me know. I love the design for the Prime set.

Pin Pals. I love it, and it works on multiple levels. It should be the unofficial name of Pinny Arcade traders.
I'm already looking forward to the 3rd party pins now too. If Ubisoft commissioned an Assassin's Creed pin done with Mike's art I would be very happy indeed. 8->
Well I was toying with the idea of making a trading website, since already people's available trades are being missed if they're a few pages back.
And now you guys have made a name, so, here we go!
www.pinnypals.com
I had to go 'pinny' cause 'pin' is taken but it's probably a more appropriate name anyway!
It's empty right now but it'll be a fairly simply site to start, I was thinking it just compliments this thread/forum, so a grid of the pins, who has them for trade, what that person wants and a link to their profile page on this forum to private message. Then we can also keep track of successful trades and keep track of bonded pals if people are ok with that being public info, then others know who they can ask etc.
I hope to get it up in at least before Prime but it's sort of terrible timing as I'm about to go on vacation but we'll see At the very least, if it looks like I can't take on the workload, I'll just provide the domain/hosting for free to some one else if there are any takers. If PA end up releasing their own version, we'll just gracefully close it or see if it has a place still as something else.
not to steal any ideas but what does the Buttoneering crowd do? do they trade only at PAXes or do they do something like this, maybe we can get some tips?

Buttoneering is an "at pax" event. It was originally designed to be somewhat like disney pin trading, but it's very personalized for each individual. It's an awesome way to meet people at pax, and take home a momento of each new person you meet (if they are participating). I have a whole lot of buttons from various people and each one reminds me of something different about pax.
If you really enjoy pin trading, I would highly encourage doing buttoneering at your next pax.

Dude that's awesome!!! Having a online "lanyard" (what that person has up for trade) as well as a online display case!
Hey everyone! I have a PAX AUS Gabe, Tycho and Kemper for trade, as well as 2X Chandra PAX AUS pins.
I am looking for:
PAX EAST Gabe
PAX EAST Tycho
PAX EAST Kemper
PAX EAST Logo
PAX EAST Chandra Head
I can give you the Chandra head for the AUS Chandra, if you like? I think I might have an EAST Logo and some of the other EAST Stuff. Send me a message!
I have two Chandra V2 Pins to trade, Im hoping that I can get in contact with someone who will be attending Prime to organise a trade for some of the Prime pins, particularly Kitty Thomas Kemper because my wife saw him and loves it, I'm in Australia so no real chance to get to PRIME to get one. PM me if you are interested in picking up a Chandra V2 or two
Suffering from severely crippling social anxiety, it really seems impossible to even think about attending something like PAX; however, I have a very dear friend whose wife was recently taken by cancer at 32 years old, and he and she were huge Lookouts fans. If someone comes out of PAX Prime with an extra "Lookouts" badge, I would be willing to purchase whatever is needed from the pins available online in order to get that pin for him.

Sorry to hear about all that, anyway if you can't arrange anything Mike has said that they will be on sale online eventually.
Well I've traded on of my V2 Chandras. Still looking for a PAX PRIME attendee for trading my final one, and maybe even some PAX AUS stuff, like shirt and patches ect.
looking for a East PAX logo
Have an AUS Logo or a Chandra V2 to trade.
also if anyone is heading to PAX Prime drop me a Message about setting up a Pin Pal arrangement
nope, nope, nope. I was too blown away by the first announcement
I'm expecting big things, I really want to see some indie developers getting in on the action.
I want to see something from the big three, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft but I don't think that's their thing.
I would be putting bets on things like, League of Legends, World of Tanks, Magic the Gathering; things that have had a strong presence at PAX so far.
To be honest I'm kinda scared that us PAX Aus people will miss out on vendor pins, if they decide not to make the trip out.
But that's what our little Pin Pal community is about, I guess.

I expect a new Chandra pin for sure. And as @reneguage said, something from the big three wouldn't surprise me. Maybe a pin to represent the PAX 10? And pins based on new games from Capcom, Ubisoft, Bethesda, and other large publishers would be welcome.

That makes sense. I heard rumors of pins that you get for going to certain panels.
Has anyone else wondered why there is no staff pin for Jerry?
Mike and Jerry have had their own pins. Neither of them are in this "staff" set. The Mike they refer to in the staff set is Mike Fehlauer, not Mike Krahulik.
I'm dying that this is a collector's itch I can't scratch. I think I'll buy some and trade for some, and try very very hard not to be upset that I'm unwilling to get every pin possible (including PAX East, Aus, and PADLC).
Yep, I think this is the update that cements the idea that no one is supposed to have a "complete set". Gotta pick and choose your favorites and let the rest go.
Let me just get a beep boop on your PAX badge real quick!

This is do able if you are a Prime attendee, however just remember that new pins will be released 3 times a year at each of the PAX's.
With the PIN Pal set up you will have more of a chance of having a complete set or close to it.
3 is the magic number in this case guys, 1 pin for your collection 1 pin to trade for EAST and 1 Pin to trade to AUS.
Pin Pals is awesome cause you have a partners getting you pins, the more you put into getting the pins for your pals the more they will put into getting pins for you,
And a rapport is built.
Looking at the second announcement the hardest to get a full set of will be the behemoth pins... I'm not sure how their capsule machine works though.
What I am really interested in is this from the news post "limited edition pins celebrating PA’s 15th year anniversary".
Definitely need the Strip Search, Kris and Scott, and the whole top row of Behemoth pins. I am sad there is no Necromancer, cat-scratching-your-face Battleblock head, or bat from the Behemoth. Maybe at East. Which brings up the question, are these going to change at EACH PAX or are they on for a full cycle (Prime/East/Aus)?

I've gotta admit, with the most recent announcement I'm not even sure that I want all of the pins. I only see two that are must haves for me, and most of the others look like ones that I wouldn't mind getting, but wouldn't bend over backwards for. But hey, that's what trading is for, right?
How was trading with gabe/tycho/whoever at East and Aus? I'm considering buying an extra lookouts set (hoping it's the cheapest per pin) and using those to trade for Khoo's pin, and other pins. Did they accept other goods for trading?~
Manic has a good idea though, I guess if I wanted, I can buy three sets of Prime pins to trade the extra two sets for aus and east...
But like I said before I think I won't go crazy with pins (lol yes i will) and will only get pins from the convetion I'm at (PAX wise, so I don't want a pax aus/east pin since i didn't go there) but I want other pins from those convetions (ike chandra 1+2)
