    I'm really glad I recorded it then. I wasn't even completely sure I was the only person at that point until I went back through the thread. I wish @Happendy had recorded his reaction because it would have been sooooo opposite mine.

    I think the post from @Happendy in the Whatsapp group still summed it up nicely.

    Pins for trade!

    Oh, @Beker does that mean they don't know about the gold variant yet?

    @Hingo Please tell me you are joking because my heart is weak to that kind of thing since Overwatch...wait wasn't the Overwatch and Star Trek pins supposed to be in some of them? At least that was the hype...

    edit:
    Dmosinee- excellent guess. Five points to Gryffindor.

    Onto the next- Shall we have more clues?
    Your pin hunting ODYSSEY may take your search far and wide,
    For MANY A MOON you'll fill your collection with pride,
    The search can be daunting, but its the rare ones you seek,
    The searching and squinting may leave a WRINKLE across your cheek,
    Though we 'cant live forever' and we dont all 'swim in cash',
    FAME may be measured by your vast Pinny stash.

    A video didn't happen because I legit hissed at my husband and grabbed the box out of his hands Gollum style. The hot dog fairy is my all time favorite pin and what started me down this dark path so seeing one in there made me super bouncy. I limit myself to 10 pins kept which makes this a dang hard game for me, but I think I stand at only missing Hatty out of my 10 current favorites :hydra:

    @teeketch I don't remember which one but one member likes to look at the statistics for all the pins that wound up in the dsbs. Could you say which others you got or post a pic please?

    This is the answer to any question we ask Beker in WhatsApp. He enjoys doing it(and us in there) a bit to much. I imagine him smiling/slight giggle at times when answering us...

    From what I've seen so far (see my post last page on unbox stats), I think only a fraction of the LE merch pins are in this run. So there's still hope if you want to try again in the fall. Or you could always trade for it, but I think there might only be 125 in circulation for now.

    We just got our sad two boxes, and got about what was originally expected: Balloon Man, Jim Darkmagic, South 2015 Logo, and Panda Espresso.

    With even a hint of this DSB pin, I would have bought at least 30 boxes :?

    EDIT: Maybe it goes without saying, but if anyone gets one they aren't that attached to... message me. Our pin vault is filled nearly to bursting right now, and I'm sure we can work something out.

    You know how some companies train people on the "standard response"?

    I think in my handful of years communicating with PA, "that's an interesting question" is the most common response I've received.

    I only opened 2 boxes (out of 10) last night before the reveal and I do not think I can wait until Pax so I will be opening some more when I get home. I posted a pic in whatsapp yesterday, but for anyone that wants to track stats, my first two boxes this round are:

    - 2013 Merch & 2015 East Tourist Gabe
    - 2014 East Colonial Kemper & 2014 Aus Logo

    Really hoping I pull one blind Merch so I can stop and save some for Prime... though I guess I should be happy with one in general.

    IF (big if) I get an extra Craig, you are #1 on my list to trade with it at prime, deal? :)

    Probably not, since it might have actual business repercussions for him, but I would totally do it.

    I think if I buy some boxes around April, I would expect this.

    I was going to buy DSBs tomorrow when I get paid. I guess now I go hunting. Anyone looking for something, you know what to do.

    Audio dies at 9 minutes for the rest of the video. Sweet East 2013 pulls, though.
