Cool, thanks. Also those Limited Edition Pins, the Polygons I mentioned are usually up there in terms of value so you might want to pick up a couple extras though they usually only let a person by 2 per trip through the line which translates to 2 per day. And if you are interested in getting a Polygon you may want to get there early.
Also if you are new keep an eye out for the Staff Trading event during Aus because that is a great place to get harder to find pins. Do you know about fodder pins?
Don't forget that the Australian dollar has plummeted against the U.S dollar in the year since the last show. It's possible that prices will be dearer to compensate.
yes no price rises please, will definately discourage people to start if they do.
fodder pins? please explain :P
Fodder pin typically means the lower cost/easily available pins that are readily available to trade. You tend to see a lot of these at staff trade tables as people have received several of them and just use them to trade for staff and other quick pins.
Examples are the Microsoft Age of Empires (AKA Castle Guy) and in the past, the lookouts set (not sure how much they are called fodder now that they are not out anymore)
Whats the best way to get some fodder pins for staff and enforcer trades?
Buying core sets at the Merch Booth is probably the most straightforward. You may also be able to get certain third party pins for free by playing game demos.
Just a heads up everyone, just updated my digital lanyard! In particular I'm trying to trade for the '13 and '14 Halloween and Christmas sets, or for their individual pins. I'm not picky, just happy to make trades!
Completed a trade with @bravesaturn and I finally have my Spinal pin!
Story time boys and girls: a long time ago, I used to be in high school. Killer Instinct was one of the many SNES games I played, but it was also the ONLY video game that my dad would play with my brothers and I. I have no idea why he decided "this is the game", but he did. My older brother played Fulgore, my younger brother Cinder, and I played a few different characters without ever settling for one. My dad? Spinal. That son of a bitch would wreck us. Every. Frickin. Game. I don't know how. I don't know why. It pissed us off to no end, and he loved every second of it. Countless hours after school of KI practice, but it didn't help. We never beat him.
My dad passed away in 2007. I miss that bastard. However, I now have a small token via Pinny Arcade to remember him by.
Pins for trade!

Will anyone have a spare Prime Polygon at PAX Aus? Unfortunately my trade partner is MIA at the moment, so I'm not sure what's happening there. I hope they're okay.
But yeah, if someone could help me with the Prime Poly, that would be just awesome.

I'll have to check my trade bag once I get home tonight out of paranoia (what if I didn't update Pinny Pals correctly?!) but I should be able to hook you up.
