$12.50? No way. They'll be more then that. They have too many "upgrades" to be at that price point. Everything that makes a pin different adds to the price. Limited edition? Tack on 3D? Two more. Moves in anyway? Another two bucks. Etc. Etc. Etc. The very simple MVMCP pins with little spinning bits were $12.50 and they didn't have a bubble with a peice of attraction in them.DisneyRoxMySox said:
Either way, they'll sell out moments after the park opens and the rest of us will either have the psychotic amounts of cash to buy them on ebay or not.

Nice responses, probably more positives than I would have expected (pleasantly surprised 
)
I agree with Miss M's formula and would guess them to be $15. With the first one not being released until the end of the month, possibly all will follow suit as series like this usually follow the same dates.
With 2500 available, I do believe they will last a while...at least long enough to get beyond the Ebay vultures. I would think some of you Florida folks can tap into friends with AP to pick some up for you.
I will most likely have to resort to the Ebay route as well.
In any case, we will find out before long.

That's what I was thinking. :lol: I want them to make a Horizons pin (not that it would benefit me or anything...). I'll have to check e-bay as well and hope that I can maybe afford one or two of them. I'd really like 20,000 Leagues one and a Horizons one.
Edit: I have a question. Can you call merchandise mail order services early on the day of release and order one? I know for open edition merchandise you can, but was wondering if on limited items (such as these pins) this was possible.

Gee i don't know guys...
Am i the only one who sees the cutting up of old attraction peices to be sold as gimmicky trinkets a 'sacralige" of sorts? It seems a bit sad in a way that these brilliant and memorable attractions should end up this way. Just seems a little cheesy and painfully obvious that Disney is using this as a ploy to squeeze a few more dollars out of it's die-hard Guests.
What would Walt think about this?? I mean, how do you think he would feel about this idea of cutting up peices of these classic attractions and selling them this way?
I suppose one way i could look at it is this: It puts these dearly loved places and events in the hands and posession of those that can REALLY appreciate and value them...
I don't know ...it still seems like a sacralige (or however it's spelled).

It just so happens my next Disney vacation is the last few days of January 2005 - I hope I get to see these pins!! I am totally not into pin trading and collecting but I would buy one of these things! Way cool!!
To me it's not sacreligious at all - you can either throw an old attraction part in the dumpster or you can make it into a collector's piece that will be cherished forever - and what I like about this idea is it's such a small object that even the poorest of Disney freaks should be able to afford at least one pin.

I know how you feel,but i'd rather own a tiny fragment of an old disney attraction then read about it being bull dozed into some backlot landfill lost to the ages. At least this way if you wear the pin,you wear your favorite attraction close to your heart or if you display them,then a bit of disney history and memories will always be with you no matter where you live.
I wouldn't want anything disassembled for this purpose, but as old materials have been on Ebay for years and others sitting out in scrapyards rotting, this is a much better use.

I like it, if they release a Horizons one I am so there! I like this collection, I might have to indulge in it. Hopefully I can keep track of when they are released.
