Nicol Bolas for the MTG pin (although I am secretly hoping for Jace)
Renegade Kid with a Mutant Mudds pin.
Microsoft will have the PITA pin of the event.
@Geometric Cube It is pin #2 of the 3 pin set, not 2 pins at East.

http://pinmash.info - Two pins enter, one pins leaves... then the other pin leaves with a lower Elo rating
A series for Overwatch would be pretty great, though Blizzard might hold them for Blizzcon.
Will the next LE be a polygon map of Massachusetts you think?

Far out hope for me is for Nintendo to finally get in to the pin game, but I don't see it happening.

Game releases in the next few months id really like to see pins of AND have 'some' previous evidence that might back it up, not just wishful thinking...
Feb 13: Zelda Majoras Mask 3DS: And ive already broken my only rule.....Nintendo has not done a pinny arcade pin yet but id KILL, literally kill anyone for this to happen....no joke, stay back guys....
Feb 25: Oddworld New n Tasty: came out already but maybe this time.... Abe would be great as a pin i think
May 19: Witcher 3: PLEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE WOLF SYMBOL AS A PIN
OK So this is more of a wishlist than i had originally planned....but really, looking at the list of games coming out this half year, i dont see a lot that could be good as a pin.
I'd think Heroes of the Storm would get a pin before Overwatch since it has not had one yet and is further along in development.
Pins!
They did one, the ETC pin from Prime 2014 is a playable character in Heroes of the Storm.
I hope we get a polygon LE with Massachusetts on it. I love my state
Looking forward to the Undead Labs pin since I haven't had a chance to experience their booth yet and everyone said they were really great about pin collecting at South.
If Behemoth has more pins, I think 2-4 is a good number of new ones. 4 was fine at East last year.
P.S. The fact that the thread title says "sepculation" instead of "speculation" is driving me batty.

There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?
Good point. I always count ETC as Warcraft in my head (and hey, in game he is labeled as a Warcraft hero). L60 70 80 90 100(?) ETC was playing shows in Azeroth long before the Nexus swallowed him up.
Still, I imagine we might see the Nexus symbol from Heroes as a pin.
Pins!
Fix'd, sorry :P
According to Behemoth last year when I talked to them at Prime, they aren't doing any reprints anymore of pins…and they also were only going to have one more series of new pins at most.
So if they have new ones at East it may be the last time we see them having pins.
Part of me is kind of sad because the chonku chonku machines are pretty fun. And the Behemoth pins are always a hit with my fiancee, so even though she doesn't collect them, I can give her a few and make her smile. She loves that whale. But part of me thinks less or no Behemoth means more variety, which is good for the hobby in general.
One other hope I have for East: NO LEEROY. Or at least no Leeroy-like experience. I could only get two last year and now with South, getting at least three Leeroyish pins would be hell. If it were just me... I mean, the sense of victory I felt getting my second Leeroy was pretty rad. But as a pin pal... no. Just no.

I hope GTG has another pin with a hero on it this time but I think they will have more Baron Blade pins with them at East. I would like to see more Board Game companies get in on Pins. Steve Jackson Games or Fantasy Flight would be sweet.
Pins!
Always looking to trade.
I am hoping for a D&D pin again.
Rumor is that the new staff pins will be released at East also. (I heard this possibility from several staffers)

They started giving away Merch 2.0 pins with 2015 on the back at South, so I think it'll be here throughout the year, haha.
I'm hoping they definitely have a new D&D pin! They're some of my favorite pins and Acquisitions Inc. was sorely missed at South.
2015 was only for south.
New merch is coming out for east FYI
Pinny Pal since PAX Prime 2013
Huh, that's weird. Think they were just running low on Merch 2.0 pins and had to do a quick print run right before South?

Would it be kosher to make a sign like at a sporting event, telling people I will trade/buy their Blizz pins, and stand at the exit of the booth with it? My pin wife has explicitly refused to wait in a Blizzard line with me and the thought of doing that 4 times makes me feel a little ill. And I'm not good at just walking up to people and asking them to trade, I'd much rather silently entice them to come to me...
I just worry that I'll be making myself a nuisance if I stand there waiting.

Buying them shouldn't be on the sign. Trading is fine. If you talk to someone and they want to trade money...
If people see a sign offering cash for a Pin, they are going to immediately think "Well if they are paying X, I wonder if ebay will pay 2X?" If they see trading they think "Collectors want the Pin."

I may be able to get my pin wife to help me in talking to people so a sign might not be necessary! Just trying to cover all my bases in case my vocal cords get tangled trying to talk to people.

I dunno, I find that to be an acquired skill that requires one to push past its comfort zone.
Can I just say I'm super happy the term "pin wife" is catching on?
Also, that I'm still in the market for a pin wife. East is only a month away, come on people!
