Trade me pins, yo: https://www.pinnypals.com/pals/Lazorz
Interesting to see the Cookie Brigade getting an official pin.

My fiancée is obsessed and she would love this! I have a spare Gwent pint from East (she took me along to the panel) or I'd be willing to pay a reasonable finders rate.
Anyway, you don't have to just chance encounter a brigadier in the wild for our pin. We have set meeting times and will be bale to take card payments at those meet ups.

Looks like the Spoopbucks is a single, then the Krog pins are a 4-pack
They were selling those at East? That was the hot pin of South. I wish I had known when I did the proxy
It wasn't a large amount - they sold out pretty fast. They'll have Finch and Gorogoa at West -
At PAX itself,
1) What are the specific rules about trading w/ staff?
2) How would I identify staff?
We have 2 from 2016 PAX and plan to buy a few, but those we want to keep. Trying to get some trade fodder so that we have a handful to trade w/o regret.
Thanks.
The exact rules for trading with staff are here - https://penny-arcade.com/pinny-arcade/rules
Short of looking up pictures of each staff member, it's probably easiest to attend the staff trading event, since they'll all be there in one place - west.paxsite.com/schedule/panel/official-pinny-arcade-pin-trading-event
At other times, you might be able to find staff trading at one of the tables near main merch.
We haven't heard anything yet. They've only had one other pin, and that was Teemo at East 16, which you got by walking through their Riftwalk exhibit. The room they have this year isn't super big, so there isn't really a lot of room for lines, which makes me think they might just be selling stuff.
It seemed like that turn out was not expected. I am not sure if it was due to the popularity of the pins this year or just that the community is growing so much. It may be different at west, but it may be a good idea to get there early to check out the line. Hopefully it is not as popular this time.
This year at East was a bit different then previous East trading events in earlier years. The line at East does usually cap just because of the huge amount of people in the building, so that is normal. The time limit on staying in the trading area was completely new though, and not well thought out. I didn't even have time to go to each table to just get the new staff pins because the enforcers pushed us right back out after a set time. I made sure to not waste much time at each table, just enough to look through what was displayed, and see if there were any pins I needed instead of the second staff copy.
I still missed at least 3 staff members. It was a bigger problem because of the capped line too: you couldn't go back through again and get staff that was missed.
I know in previous years, there were issues with people hovering over tables, waiting for new traders to drop rare pins because they didn't know what they had. The time limit was done to curtail that, but it also hampered legit trading too. I know there was talk after that about changing the format again, so who knows what the future will bring.
Good advice is, always get to staff trading early, and keep an eye out for staff wandering around the PAX - they will always trade too!
I went to my first East this past year and attended the trading event. It was just like previous events I have attended at West and South where you had to get there really early and only had a limited amount of time with the staff. I am sure everyone here is aware you need to line up early if you want to actually get into the event at West.
This is typically your choice of two $30 pin sets, plus a lanyard.
That makes sense. I don't remember them listing it as a starter set last year, but do remember getting lanyards with two sets.

That event falls right across three of the Pin related panels happening at the Cat Theatre and and Autograph Area. Some tough choices must be made...

We all go in and mob those booths at the same time, and just keep cycling through until everyone gets their copy. We could even up the throughput by figuring out how to end the match/game faster, by one side or the other throwing the match. This would probably work better during off peak times, if there is such a thing, on Friday or Monday, but it would help make sure everyone that wants the "OverWatch Gold" type pin gets one. It might even make it possible for those of us collecting for people who cover other shows to get enough.
Has this sort of thing been tried before? How well did it work? Who's in for trying it out?
