Posts
The Behemoth - I'd like more Castle Crasher knights, especially with the announcement of the coming update. I expect more Game 4 stuff though.
Bethesda - Ugh. Whatever it is I don't want to fight the line.
Double Fine
Harmonix - I would fucking die if they had a 4 pin set, with one of each of the band logos (Drums/Guitar/Mic/Bass)
Kabam
Maker Studios
Motiga
Think Geek - A MegaMan set? They have others on their site... I can dream
Twitch - Fuck Twitch, I don't want the same BS as last time... please be a rehash.
Ubisoft - I'd LOVE a South Park pin (for The Fractured But Whole...), but I expect Assassin's Creed or The Division.
Wargaming America
Runic Games
Bandland - Protomen. PLEASE. And of course it's fair to assume Scott/Kris/maybe Katie will have new pins also.
Will edit with more as time goes on.

Predictions:
The Behemoth - New Series 5 pins in the Chonku Chonku machines, most likely Game 4 stuff.
Bethesda - Fallout4Fallout4Fallout4Fallout4
Double Fine - Gang Beasts pin would be awesome
Harmonix - They had a RB4 pin at East. They couuuld do another one for Prime, but maybe they'll do something with Amplitude 2?
Kabam - Marvel pins?
Maker Studios - Isn't this Polaris's parent company now? Maybe a Markiplier pin, lol
Motiga - Gigantic pin, most likely of one of their character classes.
Think Geek - Maybe the Naughty Dog pins? Since they handled the shipment of them on the PAX off-season.
Twitch - Probably more artificially limited shit to make people swarm to their booth without actually giving them anything.
Ubisoft - Maybe Assassin's Creed or something. There's a lot of possibilities for this one. I'd be fine if it was just another "preorder a game at the show" bonus pin.
Wargaming America - muh world of tanks
Runic Games - A Torchlight pin would be awesome
Bandland - Hopefully Dark Brian, as well as Scott and Kris pins (and maybe a Freezepop pin?!?! God, let it happen)

Bethesda - FALLOUT 4 IT'S HAPPENING PIP BOY
Double Fine -
Harmonix - I like Craig's ideas of instruments. MAKE IT SO.
Kabam - This could be anything. They make games for so many franchises.
Maker Studios - Also could be anything. Maker is a Youtube production house, but they were recently acquired by Disney.
Motiga - Gigantic! Cool dinosaur pins I hope.
Think Geek - ANOTHER one that could be anything. They cover so many products
Twitch - The return of the Devil.
Ubisoft - Assassin's Creed would be my bet.
Wargaming America - Some cool looking tank pin or something.
Runic Games - Torchlight!!!!!
Bandland - Freezepop/Protomen plz

Bethesda - Gary 4 pin set. The pins are identical in every way but you collect all 4 because you can't bear being incomplete.
Double Fine - Spacebase DF9. Beat Tim Schafer in the cinnamon challenge to earn. (Note: pin is struck but not enameled, you need to finish that on your own)
Harmonix - Fantasia: Music Evolved reissue. Complete extended cut "It's A Small World" rock band demo.
Kabam - Studio logo pin. Just yell "KABAM" loudly until they give you the pin to get you to leave.
Maker Studios - PewDiePie pin. Must hold conversation with PewDiePie for 3 minutes. Probably easier to just trade for it.
Motiga - Studio Logo, purchased
Think Geek - No idea. Will be $40 for 4 pin set whatever it is.
Twitch - Gold Kappaface. 10 awarded each day to best copypasta submissions. You may enter as many times as you want but can be banned at anytime for any reason.
Ubisoft - Rainbow Six / Assassin's Creed crossover pin set of 2. Free but must show genuine enthusiasm for Syndicate. (Like Maker just trade for them)
Wargaming America - A tank, duh. 500 per day issued by lottery or you can guarantee one by upgrading to premium ticket.
Runic Games - A mule. Play the Torchlight demo and comment how much better it is than Diablo 3.
Bandland - Whatever they made by the deadline to keep the lights on. $15 each ($25 for Frontalot).
I love you.

Just that, in fact...just the chalice. In its glory.

Looking for Pins: DLC
There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?
Pins!

The Behemoth- Full-bodied Green, Red, Pink and Necromancer Knights to celebrate the upgraded version of castle Crashers on the way. Done in poses from the intro of the game (slicing and doing magic). Oooh, or them dancing/ rocking out. Or it's thePrincesses.. or... *rambles off*
Bethesda- This needs to be a set of Vault Boys. Either a S.P.E.C.I.A.L. set of him, or the pictures of him from the perks. Whichever they are, I hope they are indeed a "they". Increases the chance of them being bought and not earned through some terribly long line of people wanting to demo the game or just see it.
Maker Studios- maybe a streamed Star Wars Battlefront event where participation earns you a Darth Vader Pin? That's what I hope. It's what I hope a lot.
Motiga- I'm hoping for either the Gigantic Lizard Boss guy, or the Dinosaur Logo. There were shirts given out last year for trying the game, maybe this year it'll be a pin.
ThinkGeek- I got a Star wars pin and mug for vaanrose online recenty there, so... maybe this is where they'd sell a Star Wars pin? Maybe it'll be a pin of their con- survival bag of holding or even that monkey. Whatever it is, they're owned by Games Stop now so I'm sure they'll be selling it. AND I'll be buying it.
Ubisoft- All I need is the Assassin symbol... or the Assassin horse from the comic. Yeah, that'd do, too. Possibly given from the end of a presentation? Or maybe for pre-ordering the game. I'd do it.
It could be themed in some way that resembles SW (that would be my guess, truthfully). Actual licensing of it would be amazing if actually managed!
Pins!
EDIT:
Also, I know I've said it before, and I think in this thread. But man, I would love if most of these were just buy. If Bethesda is going to come up with a convoluted Twitch style giveaway, there'd be deaths.

Im sure this community will have your back pinwise while you rise in the Omega ranks! Go forth small stuffed dog and conquer!
don't get guidebook, get pax prime 2015 by guidebook. (yeah I know, not intuitive)

Do we know that for a fact? At East I believe WotC didn't have any official presence, but the new Sarkhan Unbroken pin was still there.

On the one hand, I'm betting they have printed fewer than their booth throughput, which makes it technically a "limited number". On the other hand, it does smack of Carnie Talker-esque shenanigans.
Maybe the Marketing writer is genuine, and has been told "you have X of these to giveaway" and realised that "oh gosh, we will run out. I don't want to disappoint people, I'll warn them to come early." Maybe not.

With a design like that they'd have been made together to ensure they worked together. VERY unlikely its not designed
The design I'm sure was done, but I'm talking about the actual printing process of the pins. I'm sure the companies have to pay for the pins before they give the OK to make them, and considering pins per PAX get manufactured at the same time (to my knowledge, I'm also basing this on the PAX South shenanigans).
