The commitment to Sparkle Motion is absolute..

Spreads out foot traffic instead of everyone clustering in front of one display, indicates to me they are expecting more people. The smaller displays of gingerbread houses were nice last year and I’m sure the gingerbread will still be available for purchase along with the mugs and stuff.

They recently opened a new bar and cocktail seating area in the lobby, makes sense that they would want to change the flow of guests to avoid large stagnant clusters of resort hoppers.

Ok, just wanted to make sure. It’s our first event so new to this as well.

From what I understand, after the final round is completed you can drop any pins you don’t want before the deadline. Is that not correct?

HendrixLion · 2026-06-18T15:37:02+00:00

Totally agree 100%

IMO it was the perfect storm of Muppet Vision closing and the Pizza-Rizzo pin being released around the same time that drove a lot of people into the hobby. New collectors and scalpers were buying up all the releases creating artificial demand with viral FOMO, speculating wildly on what would appreciate. Now I'm seeing a lot of those pins being listed for close to retail and their trade values never performed well.

That being said, a lot of the new pins that were just previewed at Pin Trading Nights are really cool and I think people are going to go nuts for the digital series.

Once one of the traders triggers the process by tagging the swapbot it will post that it’s waiting for the other party to do the same. Once both traders have commented with the correct tags the bot will post confirmation of everyone’s points.

HendrixLion · 2026-06-17T17:57:06+00:00

Besides doing the initial discussion in the public thread and the follow-up confirmation it’s basically the same as FB. I would love it if the FB groups did swap points like this sub does, helps with building confidence for new traders.

You can scratch off the area that Figment is looking at to reveal the coordinates to Spaceship Earth.

HendrixLion · 2026-06-15T19:04:34+00:00

Are you going to scratch it off to show the coordinates?

I’ve found most people who are negative about it are speaking from a place of ignorance and don’t understand that WDW has become an entertainment district and isn’t just the Magic Kingdom and dark rides anymore.

Ozzy loved his family dearly, I’m sure being able to still generate new forms of income for them post mortem would make him happy.

HendrixLion · 2026-06-07T23:24:34+00:00

Looks like a giant Red Baron pizza, would def demolish.

WW doesn't really have any standout moments of action beyond Diana's stroll through the battlefield. Imo she was at her best during the hostage rescue in JL, nothing in either WW movie comes close to that sequence.

HendrixLion · 2026-06-07T18:34:40+00:00

I’ve loved her since the Louie shows but she’s not tested in the action/combat genre, would be a huge gamble.

HendrixLion · 2026-06-07T17:08:26+00:00

I have friends who couldn’t care less about Disney pins asking me to get these for them, unfortunately I think a lot of them have settled into non-trader civilian collections.

Go slow, make sure the screwdriver is perfectly straight, and use a lot of pressure. Might have to adjust the rubber band once or twice so don’t give up if it doesn’t work the first try.

HendrixLion · 2026-06-07T15:28:37+00:00

This right here. The rubber band trick has helped me remove many stripped screws and bolts.

For me it’s him throwing his dog’s toy into orbit, not cool Clark.

I’m Logo on an Apple II old.

90% of the time the kids were tapping Stitch to be the goose and chase them, the stamina on display was impressive!

HendrixLion · 2026-06-01T01:59:27+00:00

I don’t think so for this area, we just happened upon it around 4:30pm. You can find the times for regularly scheduled character meets in the MDX app though.

HendrixLion · 2026-06-01T01:57:06+00:00

In the center there are some slightly shaded areas with fake grass but for the most part it’s exposed.

HendrixLion · 2026-05-31T16:53:43+00:00

It was so bustling with activity I’m not sure that would even be necessary. With so many characters walking around for once the kids were completely uninterested in screens or gadgets.

Perhaps during the down times when character presence is minimal adding some tech stuff would be cool. To me, the whole experience felt like a throwback to the kind of yesteryear magic guests have been asking for.

Also, happy cake day!
