    Kris has pins so this isn't off topic.

    I find myself unreasonably excited for new staff sets and new gabe/tycho pins. I'm still hoping for those retina display comic pins someday. My holy grail of pins

    I'm hoping they incorporate the retina display portraits into a 20th anniversary pin. Just layers, and layers...

    Being Australian, I suspect the canon spelling is Jezza ;)

    Hey, I'm looking for someone to take my spot in a hardcore Pin Pal group for next year at PAX East, as I cannot attend. Let me know if interested!

    Hi All, I wanted to say that this is a wonderful community! I was worried about volunteering to be the Aus Proxy, if I would go insane chasing down information and money. But out of 25 people ordering, only 1 person didn't pay and that was just 1 Aus set. Everyone was great- placed orders, gave addresses and paid promptly. It was a great experience and I strangely look forward to it next year. If anyone was worried about becoming a proxy or joining a pin group, don't be. We are awesome!

    Since the pin bags are on the fritz, what does everyone suggest ways to compactly yet safely carry a lot of pins to PAXen because I'm not getting to the point where even if I used the pin bag I'd need a second to hold it all comfortably.

    Define "a lot".

    5 sets in package and 161 individual pins and this is not including any pins gained from DSB and the xmas Arma case

  • brettness37brettness37 Vancouver, BCRegistered User regular
    There is an awesome thread detailing storage and display with lot's of suggestions to fit any budget.

    I found a pretty good trading bag on eBay for $14 by searching "Disney Pin Trade Bag". It wasn't as nice looking as the PA one I bought, but also didn't damage any pins, or smell totally weird.

  • HingoHingo Minneapolis, MNRegistered User regular
    If you're going on the cheap, cardboard is the way to go. Custom sizes! Fits in any bag!

    I do like cheap but it feels like it might be a bit inconvenient when trying to trade to have to dig through a bunch of cardboard presses. I know we've had this conversation on the utility of the cardboard cases, but didn't know if something new has popped up.

  • fishfishmonkeyhatfishfishmonkeyhat Freelance Pin Man Newcastle, AustraliaRegistered User regular
    If you want to get really crazy you can shell-out for the cardboard with right-angles and just box the fuck out!

    break up pins into snap lock bags

    That can easily hold 90 pins. I generally don't ever feel comfortable carrying that much around with me at one time anyway. I prefer to have less than $500 worth of pins on me always.

    Got East passes! Hotel queue was a crazy cluster because @brainiac744 and I were at lunch and had to try and book from mobile... and both got an "unexpected error" with no other notes at checkout. We're at the Aloft though, thanks to a frantic phone call and some quick booking by my husband. :)

    What about you?

    Is it normal to be this excited about East when South hasn't even happened yet? And for that matter, about Prime West '16?

    Also can confirm that @AmberxAltF4's hubby saved the day.

    So... is Prime called West now? I saw a post today about official Super Mario Maker levels and one was title PAX West Omeganaut Final Round 2015 or something, which confused me a great deal.

    Yeah Khoo made it official on Twitter.

    Personally, I like it. It sounds... less elitist? Not that they are, but it makes everyone level on a name field. My friend worried that this meant it would be "easier" to transition out of Seattle someday

    Not a new feature, but when I discovered I could exclude terms from a search, it really improved my Pinny shopping experience.
