I'd think that since the forum readers represents a fairly small group of the Pin collecting community, that outside of this group, most people won't know how to get the Naughty Dog pin. So unless they bring it with them to PAX South (and East and Prime), it'll still be a pretty popular and seemingly rare pin.
Naughty Dog tweeted it out, so others will know. I'm sure ND fans who aren't pin collectors will be buying a good amount too.

I definitely would have purchased a couple even if I wasn't a pin collector. ND are my favourite game devs, so I try to get everything of theirs that I can. :biggrin:
I'm just glad I can finally turn off twitter alerts for ND. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Ellie pin sell out within a day of the new Naughty Dog shop going live? I know that was more heavily advertised than a single tweet, but still. This pin had people frothing at the mouth.
Pins for trade!

I think they had 900 Ellie's at East, and whatever was left went on the store... So less than 100 assuming staff got some too or something.
This one they gave away some, but there's likely a lot more compared to Ellie.

I think you find out when it gets to the Shopmate warehouse in the US and then they process it and work out the cost and email you the shipping cost to Australia and they send it to you after you pay for it

I got my shipping confirmation today as well. looks like they must have sold the bulk of the pins so now it's time to make a few extra dollars on the remaining pins lucky i got in early
I got my pin in on Saturday. It confused me because it came in a ThinkGeek envelope. Pin was a little scuffed up from shipping which sucks. They need to wrap them again.
I hope you Aussies have your pins survive shipping. Mine were just thrown in a bubble mailer and left to the mercy of the post office. The backings have seen better days, and one of the pins have slight scuff marks on it. Curious to see how my other order ends up looking.

Pretty much this, mine had no scuffs but ya it was just a flat way too big bubble mailer. Sad part was, it looks like Think Geek are the ones that handle the distribution, and they honesty tend to do a whole lot better than this.

Feel free to send me a trade request!
They probably don't realize these are collectors items -- most people (if they weren't told otherwise) would probably assume it was just some doodad to stick on a kids backpack, and not something to be careful with. Hopefully the ones my wife and I put in for don't get brutalized too bad.
I ordered 2 with a hoodie as well, and they just put 2 pins inside of another stupid grey envelope like my other batch came yesterday... I don't know why they can't just wrap them in a single square of bubble wrap or something.
I ordered 2 sets; one came in a bubble mailer, the other in a box packed with paper. Although they aren't super scratched up, one was missing the rubber back. -_________-

Shopmate is something I will not be using unless they won't ship to Australia.
I got 2 pins btw, cost the same.
