I think it's a cool idea, why not own a little piece of the magic?

I don't mind the idea of selling the pieces. It's better than them throwing the whole thing in the trash, and let's be real, those are our only two options. I do however hope that they don't make too much money in doing this because I could totally see them adding the revenue to a life cycle cost analysis for attractions, showing a boost in revenue at the end of an attraction's life. We don't need them to have more incentives to close down and raze more attractions.
Next thing you know they'll come out and decide that rather than continue to run the theme parks indefinitely, they've decided to demolish everything and capitalize on the burgeoning scrap metal pin market.

It's water under the bridge now, but there was a third option: rebuild the parade.
They do have a no termite egg guarantee.

Thank you!!
Not sure how much magic is in a piece of alleged parade scrap metal, but to each their own....

Now if only they would come up with a pin housing a piece of the BAH ... that would truly be worth it.

Because it's a non-descript sliver of some kind of material that's clearly unrecognizable. To me, that's crazy.
You know how they could have done this? And made a FORTUNE? Take a bulb from the float and suspend it inside a glass Christmas ornament. Put small pictures of the floats around the bottom of the ornament. Or maybe just the picture of the float if came from. Have a series of them with bulbs from each float. Charge me $50. I'd be first in line for something like that. Hell, if they could make it so it could plug into my string of lights on the tree and actually WORK?????? I'd pay TWICE that. To have 5 ornaments with lit bulbs from sprectromagic? That would be "owning a piece of the magic". THAT would be showing your fans you care. This is a shameless cash grab from pixie dust snorters.
Once again, TDO could have done something very right and instead did something JUST enough to sell.

here's where the profits from this remnant pin go:
"Check out my new bottle!"
"New watch"
"New BFF LULZ YOLO"

I wonder if we could convince Disney that they would make millions by selling a pin with pieces of the DHS hat in it.
Now THAT is something I could get behind. Down with the BAH!!

I'm on the fence on this one, it's shameless but its better than just throwing it away. But I also agree that selling the actual bulbs would have been much smarter.
Can we go yet?

"Hey, this tiny piece of Metal on attached to this pin comes from our parade that we let rot for years!" Besides, I thought all the floats were destroyed...did they really dig around in the remains for some tiny shards they could sell? This is depressing. :c

If the piece was recognizable, I'd buy it in a second. Heck even if they said which float it came from, I'd consider... but its just a tiny piece of random metal. I'll pass.
