RedShoesGirl Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Quick Poll: I'm not really into collecting pins but I know alot of you are.... is anyone interested in a pin done like the design? If there is enough interest, I'll work on submitting an order /design tonight. Hopefully they would be done with the coins. Everyone would get one for free with their order but I'll only do it if the interest is there. tsun well YES!!! Quote Link to comment

+LionsLair Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 That would be cool! I have a small pin collection that has been growing as my collection grows. would this be a pin per order, or a pin per coin type of thing? Quote Link to comment

+tsunrisebey Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 The reason for the offer is very simple. There are alot of orders from alot of people and I always appreciate the support I have been given since I have started designing. No, the pins are not free to make, I will have to pay for them and it will be 1 pin per order. This is just an opportunity for me to say 'Thank You' for the support and I find this is the way I can express that by giving back a little when the opportunity presents itself. tsun Quote Link to comment

+PengoFamily Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I like pins too but would pay for one. After all the time and effort spent on these I would hate to see you pay out of pocket for them. It's a very kind gesture to do it. Quote Link to comment

+Geo-Gophers Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I think pins would be a wonderful idea too Stephanie, but as has been said in many a comment above.....I would gladly pay for them, because I would hate to think of you ending up "out of pocket" through it. Ali Quote Link to comment
+LionsLair Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'd gladly pay for them as well and wondered if you'ld consider the option to purchase them even if you did give one per order away as a 'thank you' gift.... Quote Link to comment

+dflye Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm definitely in favor of pin(s) as well, got the 2007 on my lanyard! When possible, I like to buy pins in bulk, make great swag to leave behind if the cost gets down to between $1 and $2 per pin. That and there is a local pin collector who pounces on me the second he sees me at an event that got one of the 2007 pins from me, I'll need a "backup" pin to keep mine safe! Quote Link to comment
+mousekakat Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I actually have one of those sweet little pins. No turtle, though, wahhh! I didn't miss out on this round, though!

And I have no idea why I DON"T have one of 'em on my hat. I had 4 or 5 of 'em sitting around n my desk - even gave some of them away to people who didn't have one. I hope I didn't give them ALL away... I'll have to check some of my boxes... (scurries off to do just that...) CF30 Quote Link to comment
+jenbut Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I think pins would be great! Would they be available for people to purchase separately from a coin? They'd be great FTF/swag/gift items. I never did receive the ET pin you said you'd send me last summer, so I'd love to get my hands on one this way! Quote Link to comment

Yep, yep. DITTO Ditto, ditto. I'd love to be able to pick up a few extra, too, as they make great swag. I have the 2007 ET pin, used to wear it on my jacket, till the backing somehow got lost. Now the little cutie is "stuck" in my car, and goes everywhere with me! Quote Link to comment
+intolerable Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I would love gaiters with a little ET embroidered on them... Come on... ET gaiters would rule (no really, I'm serious!).

+tsunrisebey Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Just a quick update: Reservations close at 5:00pm Montana time (MST) tonight. I will be placing the order with the mint and ordering the tracking numbers I probably won't get an estimate on the shipping date until early next week but as soon as I hear, I'll post the information. I'm ordering some pins to go with the turtles. This is my first time ordering anything other than coins, so there is a small learning curve here but I hope to have them in time to ship out with your turtles I had them done in 2 of the minted version colors and you'll just have to be surprised If these turn out nice, I'll consider doing a pin for the Rainforest Jewel Quote Link to comment

+nashuan Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I don't collect pins (yet, yours might be the first of a collection), but would be interested in buying some for use as swag if cost permits. I'd keep a few for personal use on my cache bag and such. Would these be the same size as the 2008 ET coins? Quote Link to comment

Right now the pins being minted are as gifts for orders (1 per package), so nothing for sale, otherwise I'd be gettig myself in trouble here The pins being made are going to be the same size as the 2007 ET pins which is 1 inch. The mint is working on the new artwork and I did make a couple of small changes to the pin design (like removing the 'trackable at....') It will be like a mini version of the coin Quote Link to comment

+tsunrisebey Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 Just a quick update: Mint says they are trying for a ship date of July 14th. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes 1 week longer because of the larger order (pins, coins and sample coins of another project). So, I think anywhere from the 14th to the 21st personally. I'll give another update when they have shipped or arrived (sometimes they just show up on my doorstep). Quote Link to comment
