My favorite Disneyland snack is the alien-shaped macaron that is served at Alien Pizza Planet! I haven’t seen any pins made of this specific snack yet, but I am still looking to collect all the colors from the hidden mickey series that features traditionally-shaped macarons:

Laz, welcome to PinPics.

My keepers! I’ve had my eye on the cute Jasmine for awhile! So very happy to add her to my collection! Also was excited for the hidden Disneys because even though I had a Disneyland pass last year, they’ve been difficult to find out in the wild! From one sunny coast to the next, package is on its way to @DisneyCatMom

OMGosh, this is SO REAL. I have like 5 of that ONE pin. I'm constantly flipping back and forth on if I should let it (lol, THEM) go or keep it. At this point I have enough of them that they're banding together as their own little "Misfit Toys Island" collection.

Great question! Long response but filled with some great info! Pins should be bubble wrapped and then placed in either a bubble mailer or box. Since I mail trade often I buy my supplies on Amazon in bulk to get a bigger bang for my buck. I usually buy the big roll of bubble wrap and then just cut to size for the pin but recently have been getting more and more pin mail with pins in bubble pouches and I actually love that so I bought some 4 x 6 in pouches which is a great size because it fits most carded pins. Then all I need to do is slip the pin in and add one piece of tape to seal and it's ready to go. Another great tip is when I receive packages I save the bubble wrap if it's still in good condition and use that for future wrapping. I have the corner in my room set up with my shipping supplies so that it's all in one place and easy to access when I need to send out pin mail. Another thing to look into is shipping. You can save money by pre-purchasing your shipping online. Some people use Pirate Ship. I've never used it so can't speak to it but do know many people here use it and have positive experiences. I do all my postage online using USPS. You can go to their website and pre-purchase to get commercial rates. Then you can either print out the shipping label or they email you a QR code that you can take to the post office for them to scan and print off the stickered label. The savings will add up especially if shipping coast to coast, multi-pin trades, and heavier or larger packages. From my experience, 1-3 average size and weight pins with bubble wrap can fit in the lowest USPS weight category of 4 oz. If shipping more pins or heavier pins I use my kitchen scale to weigh my packages once I have everything bubble wrapped to have an accurate weight to input when purchasing the shipping label. Then as far as communication with people you are trading with, I always like to exchange photos of the pins front & back and disclose any flaws. Once the trade has been agreed upon, I like to let them know around when I will ship out and the tracking # with estimated delivery date. Last trading step is don't forget to leave feedback once you've received your pin mail and toggle your pins on your owns/trades list. One of my favorite parts is toggling a pin from the crown icon to the heart icon and seeing my collection grow! Once you hit 25 positive feedbacks in a calendar year, you earn the PinPics Trusted Trader profile badge & pin! To claim just need to send our amazing admins @TheTwins a message letting them know you've hit your 25 trades & your mailing address so you can get your pin! The Trusted Trader and Feedback page are great places to start to find people actively trading on the site. Hope you find this helpful! Happy Trading! It's so fun! -Jazmin

Hi! I wrap my pins in bubble wrap, and then put them inside bubble mailers for shipping. I know that some people like to put the pins on something sturdy, like cardboard, inside the bubble wrap.

Hello! I wanted to check and see how others packed their pins when trading via shipping. I want to start reaching out here to do trades, but I'm just a little nervous/want to make sure I package everything properly! Thank you so much!

I'm loving all of the incredible displays that are being shared. This is one of the first ones I made for my favorite Disney pins. I've continued to come up with different ways to show my collection off, but this was where it all started. I used ribbons and buttons to create Mickey, Minnie and Pluto "flowers" to sit on the top of my pin boards, eventually I'd like to add Donald, Daisy and Goofy.

I love all of these ideas! This morning, I just happened to create this display for my Lookout Cay pins. I think of my pin displays as telling a story, and this one tells of our first time visiting the island and the impression the Character backdrops made on me as we walked up. This is a photo display I created and then covered a piece of foam core to hang it after I attached the pins.

This is great! I was only familiar with some of the 2022 pins. I had no idea there were so many pins over so many years!

This saves me sooooooooooo much time! the texts were the hard part for me, never seemed to find the right wordS, when you write it looks so simple. THANKS

Friday pin mail. Trade with @sakaiser and it’s a great pin to add to my buzz collection. Thanks Sue.

We immediately booked a hotel too lol. Hoping we score tickets, if not we will probably still go and make it a mini vacation. Can’t go wrong visiting Disneyland

Great job in putting this together, very detailed. Thank you for sharing.

Lots of work and detail went into this. Looks great

Hi There, I'm Laz, and I have been collecting Disney on Classic Japan pins for a very long time. Since there are no real ways to see the full collection anywhere I made a guide many years ago that I have been keeping up with to help keep my collection current and completed. I figured I would share this with you all here in case anyone else has had issues figuring out what came out when. Hope this helps everyone out some. I really love this collection and hope I get the opportunity to go to one of their shows someday. While these pins are listed as open edition, the truth is, they are more of a limited release and in some cases extremely limited as well. Enjoy!

Yes I think a very small but fun collection would be Goofy Sky School. HAHA. Such a polarizing ride - we love it.

Yeah I didn't find anything under Star Wars or Droid with WDI selected.

Still nothing

Okay...I checked the Aliens Ride UFO, The Cat from Outer Space, The defunct Flying Saucers, and then my friend walked past and said 'Oh, it's a droid' (she's a star wars fan). So I checked and she's 100% right it looks like the confused head of the T3M4 droid. STILL couldn't find the pin, but maybe a Star Wars collector can be tapped in to help?

Warning Been down that rabbit hole! Attraction pins is a HUGE theme! Try to limit it to a park, land, favorites or whatever. Happy collecting!

Glad I found this - I was worried it was user error and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't add a pin!

I don't see anything like that. Not even sure what it is.

Hi! We don't actually request fully written descriptions anymore with the new simplified method of submission. We have been working for over a year to standardize the descriptions and pin listings. All we request are photos and information about the pin. The team takes care of listing the pins in the standardized format. We have a small team working to make this site as nice as we can make it. It's just people working as quickly as possible, but just because a pin is submitted does not mean that it will get added to the database immediately. We all have a lot of submissions and pins to add. As far as photos being used, it's clearly stated that photos must adhere to the photo-taking guidelines. If they do not, then we reserve the right to not use the photos. Sometimes, we have photos of the pins to use instead, since multiple people submit to the database. It's not uncommon for multiple people to submit the same pin, so we often use a combination. Instructions for submitting a pin are clearly laid out at the top of the Submit-a-Pin board. Please read these, and it is all mentioned here.
