PAX Prime Strat

So, my goal for this PAX Prime is to collect 2 full sets. This is my current thinking, based on what we know now about pin availability. I'll probably need to do some trading to fill in the gaps. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of extra time for sleep or food.

    Good. Luck.

    IMO utilize trading, trade for pins that you'd otherwise have to wait for to save time.

    I might just try to do each time sink pin once, and trade for the rest.

    At PAX Prime last year, I just stood outside the exit to the Blizzard booth and asked people if they wanted to trade for something else I had. I probably got 4-5 in ~an hour?

    So the merch line isn't where it was last year?

  • SerpicoBCSerpicoBC Registered User regular
    Good luck, man. I wonder how the line for World of Warships will be. I can't even speculate. Could be 30 minutes. Could be two hours.

    Always looking to trade.

    If what you want is polygon pins, then you will want merch lite in the Sheraton. Main merch Will have all the other stuff and be where it was last year.
