So that's what the infamous Meg looks like. Yikes...Don't you trust this face?

I don't actually hate the idea... I hope (and doubt) that the intentions would be to satisfy guests, but it really is probably to make money off of the fans. I probably won't buy the pin myself, as I wasn't a crazy Spectro fan (Great parade, but I don't mind moving onto different parades), but I would buy it if I were a huge fan, even if the idea was cheap.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of the remnants are actually from costumes/props rather than parts of the floats themselves. According to the Feb pin here -> http://disneyparksmerchandise.com/pins/piece-of-disney-history-series-february/ that one has a piece of a trumpeters cape.
They did that when they first "retired" MSEP. Boxed up the bulbs in little display cases and then sold them at DLR. You can still pick them up on eBay, usually for under $20.

Then shipped the shards half way around the world (and back) to China to be put into a pin......

I thought of that, too! I assume the pins are made in China and wondered exactly how they were assembling them to get the real pieces of Spectro in there.
Still, I'm going to get one if they sell them.

And when they run out of Spectro shrapnel, they'll sell tshirts depicting the 'Spectro Shrapnel Pins'...
More proof that the TWDC is part of the Ferengi Alliance?
(Anyone good w/ photoshop who wants to put Quark ears on the Weatherman?)

Wonder if they'll sell pieces of the castle float once it is finally(hopefully) scrapped? That float's been in quite a few parades!

That pin looks nice. I'm thinking on buying one for myself...

Supposedly the pins were released yesterday. They don't seem to be available online (yet?) so I might try the merchandise number to see if I can get them that way since I won't be down until next month. Anyone ordered through them before? I've got the sku numbers ready to go.

Pretty much. Most of the LE merch doesn't show up on mail order until a few weeks after it gets released in the parks. And only a small subset of stuff ends up on line, and typically when LE does get sold online from the parks (IE Vinylmations) it's only a fraction of the total edition size. They are releasing more of these throughout the year, I believe the second pin cones out in another 2 weeks.

That float has got to be 35 years old... they just keep putting new mirrors on it.

Well Disney does follow rule of acquisition # 1 once you have their money never give it back and # 67 Enough is never enough...

The Grand Nagus Zek MIGHT have accepted the weatherman, Since Rom became Grand Nagus and the Weatherman is even more untrustworthy than his brother Quark....
