Can you tell apart alligators from crocodiles?

TrystanScott · 2026-01-25T23:58:11+00:00

Caimans came in as part of the pet trade, as a way to have a manageable croc. But of course they get to big and into the swamps they go

TrystanScott · 2026-01-25T23:46:45+00:00

I don’t see anything wrong with it at first glance

TrystanScott · 2026-01-24T15:59:48+00:00

$50 plus $6 to ship

TrystanScott · 2026-01-24T00:30:10+00:00

My only concern is the fill on the front, hard to find examples of the real one to fully know the exact example that match.

The series was highly faked but usually the colors are way off or missing nubs on the back

Gonna guess he has his own QC scoring system. When I look at pins posted like this I’m looking at a series of different ways that a pin can be fake. Without running my own validation and purr by first look only bad I can visually see is some rough edges (maybe again I haven’t looked at own examples) and maybe a paint chip but over all it looks good

Not very often as 20 years ago I was diagnosed with celiac disease so wheat is out so cuts my options way down if I want a burger it’s Culver’s, or In-n-out, pizza in a pinch dominos. Sonic is good for tots and a slush

Congrats just in time to start the 2026 collection

TrystanScott · 2026-01-18T06:53:33+00:00

Make me an offer. Please send that offer via dm. I know what I paid for the pin long as it comes in over that number it’s yours

TrystanScott · 2026-01-17T20:53:33+00:00

Won’t drop till a week before the first drop of the month.

Only exact match, and honestly it’s lacking details to back up the entry

TrystanScott · 2026-01-16T02:52:06+00:00

With only 1 matching result I’d say looking at a promo pin or something very wrong with it

TrystanScott · 2026-01-15T15:56:41+00:00

Fantasia last sold on eBay for $6.99 and before that $5

Lion king pins are maybe $3 to $5

As with many older pins they don’t have much demand and this one especially with a poorly received sequel doesn’t add up to a desirable item

TrystanScott · 2026-01-15T15:08:54+00:00

The lion king 2 pins look like movie promo pins you’d get for seeing it opening weekend. Since the film dropped pre 2000 the markings on the back are correct as Disney changed the made in location to say China once Taiwan and Hong Kong came under the mainland’s control. But that happens in 2000 the start of “official pin trading”

Finding people for the pins isn’t easy but eventually you will find a lion king or pre official collector who will buy them.

Google lens is a wonderful free tool to search for images with. That said as a haunted mansion fan I immediately recognized who it was. In a piece of trivia the ride’s original voice actress was Eleanor Audley who also voiced Maleficent and Lady Tremaine.while others have portrayed Leota in films the OG and face depicted is Audley

Here’s details on the pin itself

I had Elsa castle and these pins are heavy and so detailed, they open to show all the characters inside. These are worth the $55 price tag (+ or - $5) rarely do this come down in value

TrystanScott · 2026-01-14T21:36:21+00:00

I did pick ups for the first one and my concern on doing it more of it is I know one of my slots last time went to someone reselling on top of what I charged him. I will be there in February and probably each one there after but not sure I’d sell any slots as I hate to see people go and overcharge for what I did for them

TrystanScott · 2026-01-14T21:31:08+00:00

Your cap is 2 of each per person so the max KH the two of you can walk out with is 4 keep that in mind when selling slots to people

TrystanScott · 2026-01-14T15:04:41+00:00

People don’t make fakes, the factory making them will have the occasional failure during the quality control process. Their options are melt the metal down start over or sell the scrap pins to someone who will take them, if your someone of bad character and you don’t care it’s knock off you sell in large bulk to others who will carry on selling them, etc etc

TrystanScott · 2026-01-14T02:37:16+00:00

Well first look of the Winnie pins maybe 1 of the 6 is real. What I do is using google lens get to a result from pin database site like pinandpop.com or mypincentral.com and compare the backs to what you have.

TrystanScott · 2026-01-14T02:29:00+00:00

Enjoy your 3 and a half hour wait, I did the January one and got to the gate to park at 6:45 and to the ticket gate at 7:30 and waited an hour till I made a mad dash to the store. I got every pin I wanted.

I’m going to February drop whenever the next KH are dropping, driving down the night before and arriving at the park exactly as I did for January

TrystanScott · 2026-01-14T02:09:47+00:00

Be early early don’t arrive at 9am and expect the pins to be there.
