Am I understanding correctly that the pin will cost $80 total?

 

[FigmentPigments]

I think there are seven pins total.

 

[CoMiGa]

OK thanks, obviously that was not clear to me. Upon re-reading it I think that is right. So you get 7 pins and the lanyard set for $80.

This sounds like such a hassle

10 year old me would have a blast doing something like this, which I assume is the target audience.

$80 for 7 pins is about right if you're purchasing random pins in the shops. Hopefully these pins are well done and the work required to collect them I guess adds to the exclusivity a bit.

You have to pay for the clues...


HAHAHA!!
I love their greed. It makes me feel so much better about myself.

Not really. You're paying for the pins. I can't imagine that any kid who pays for a clue is gonna walk outta there without a pin.

And if you want to compare yourself to a corporation like TWDC, I can point to some other transactions that might leave you feeling rather small

It's seemingly no different than the easter egg hunts. You are basically paying for the pins, and I wouldn't be surprised if they will give you the pins without doing the quest once you buy them.

No problem.When you first posted I had to go back and reread the announcement to make sure I had read it right. I couldn't believe that Disney would create this quest with an $80 pin.

Loving the Steam punk design.

Does no one in their department understand the psychology of paying multiple times for the same thing??

Talk about irritated parents...

Yea. It is pretty microscopic.

I wonder if they'll have 10 year olds that I can rent to collect the pins for me?

I could see a family with APs turning this into a summer quest. One pin per visit. That would be pretty fun.

If you are and AP holder you should get 10% off

So, pin trading is now an up charge attraction instead of everyday random occurrence or do CMs still trade and resort desks etc?

 

[mouse_luv]

I love the last pin design but scoff to the "upcharging" for the pins at each quest.

 

[ThemeParkJunkee]

I may buy a couple of pins just for the interaction between me and a CM. I just wondered if the "free trades" were eliminated. I would not pay that much for 7 pins. You would only need a few for what I enjoy.

i love collecting pins but i don't trade as i use the decoratively in my house so i only buy ones for rides and hotel's i've stayed in etc. but my friend who came to disney with us in May would probably of loved to pay for this and he's in his 30's!!!

It's really no different than if they had found pins they liked in six different stores and bought them. You're paying multiple times for different items.
