Hey all, I though it might be a good idea to have a central location that records whereabouts on the interwebs one can go to buy Pinny Arcade pins. Once you have bled the Penny Arcade store dry, and scoured eBay for bargains, where to go next for those sweet 3rd party pins?
This post aims to collect all that information into one place to make it easier for pin noobs to level up their collection faster. I'll try and keep these listings as up to date as possible, if you get any leads on available pins post below!
These pins have store pages, but are currently displayed as sold out. Included on the off chance that they may be restocked, and solely for those with the most hyperactive of brain squirrels.
Oh man - I wanted that Ellie pin as well. Thought I'd wait another week...
*EDIT*
Went to purchase the remaining two pins available (Clicker and the 30 years pin) plus the hardcover 30 years book, but won't allow me to choose Australia as a country for shipping (only Canada and US options available).
Looks like the Adventure Time pins are in stock over at WeLoveFine!
Nice Find! Wish it wasn't $45, though!
Edit: didn't realize it came with I flooped the pig, too, my bad!
Aw 45 is a bit steep, I bet I could trade my dupes for these at the next PAX, though.
I think it's steep too, but seeing as there are no guarantees, I went ahead with the purchase. What's worse is that it cost me more than that due to the fact I'm in Australia and also have to deal with shipping and currency conversion. Sigh.
These came in today -- so I guess high marks on shipping time...
But damn, I think we have a new contender for ugliest pin ever released:
It looks even worse in person. I say this as someone who loved every second of The Last of Us, but I wish we had only gotten one of these awful pins to put in the corner of the display and forget about.
The big, pointless black oval really drags it down IMO -- plus big single fill areas like that tend to have a lot of defects. Two out of the four we ordered have issues with the fill of that black oval.
It wouldn't surprise me to learn that these were ordered alongside the Ellie pin, but came out so ugly that didn't want to put them alongside at East 2014.

That black oval is keeping the body from getting damaged, because it would be pretty thin otherwise.

The Ellie pin was pretty skinny too, and it had really skinny extrusions in the form of that rifle barrel. I can't recall any examples being made of that one getting damaged.
For the quality of the design, I thought the prices were high. The Clicker does look like a Clicker, but the black background was effortless and there needed to be more color/texture in the head.
I like the shield, but I also felt like it was $5 less pin than I bought.
For the Clicker, if they had gone with a bust view sort of like how the KI characters were done, it could be a much better pin. That black background throws it off. I understand needing some more meat to the pin with the subject's spindly arms and legs, but I think it would have been a better design choice to zoom in a bit.
In any case, there have been some skinny pins before, no? A lot of the Gabes and Tychos come to mind, as well as the Tin Man pin. If this pin had just been the Clicker without that background, I think it would be much improved.
Oh sweet, I didn't know about the non-Ellie pins from Naughty Dog!
Don't worry, they're both terrible.
I nodded at the simple truth, laughed at the earnestness, and wept because I bought both.
I don't get it. The Anniversary crest is a nice piece of simple design, and the Clicker looks like a Clicker. So what's the issue?
Wrap meat in a tortilla and you've got yourself a taco. Some tacos are tasty and good and make you glad you had it (Ellie). Some give you diarrhea(30th Anni), and some taste like shit(clicker).
Then some tacos get shipped through Think Geek and are smashed with hammers during the packing process and fed to a hungry woodchipper before arriving on my doorstep.

Looking for Pins: DLC
There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?
Wrap meat in a tortilla and you've got yourself a taco. Some tacos are tasty and good and make you glad you had it (Ellie). Some give you diarrhea(30th Anni), and some taste like shit(clicker).
Then some tacos get shipped through Think Geek and are smashed with hammers during the packing process and fed to a hungry woodchipper before arriving on my doorstep.
Ok, so now I want a taco.
