I'm a pretty big pin collector too, and while I think the Vinylmations are nice I won't collect them. Mainly, I just can't afford to have two overpriced Disney collections, but I do agree that they are a lot harder to manage than pins because of their size. I don't think that the Vinyl's are what is keeping Disney from doing more events though. It was before Vinylmations that they stopped doing multiple themed events a year. I think that the diehards just didn't see the value in them anymore (pins have come down in value over the past few years).
