Check out this eBay auction:

According to the seller:
This limited edition (LE 5000) spinner pin was released exclusively to Disneyland Resort Annual Passholders on October 27, 2002.Is this true? I was at the Park yesterday, rode on HMH twice, and saw nothing of this pin/promotion? What gives? Is the seller full of poo? If not, who do I need to befriend to be made aware of such things in advance?

Yes they came out on Sunday. I saw it along with a few other MPers on Saturday night right before closing at the Premier Shop in TL. :( Are they all out?

The pin was definitely available at the Premiere Shop on Sunday (that's where we picked up ours in the afternoon) and was supposed to have been available at Le Bat en Rouge as well, though I don't know if they had it there as we didn't ask - AP pins are kept behind the counter and not on a rack.

As for knowing ahead of time, DizPins (http://www.dizpins.com/) is the only place you need to go, on a daily basis.

Note to self: visit DizPins (http://www.dizpins.com/) before every trip to the park.

Thanks for the heads-up cstephens! :)

Not to get off the pin topic, but at MA on the 20th, I used my AP at a restaurant in New Orleans square and received a special edition HMH iron-on patch. Did anyone else? I didn't hear anything about that either, but it was a pleasant suprise!

The patches are being released each Sunday and are given to anyone who makes a purchase of $15 or more at the French Market. It is open to all guests (not just APs). There will be thirteen total. So far they have been the Mansion and then Jack, Sally, and the Mayor. (I think)

A list of them has been posted in this thread (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10884#newpost). We got the mayor one yesterday when we had dinner at French Market.

So does anybody know if they still have any of those pins left?!?!? I saw that they were coming out but won't be able to get there till Wed. so I was just hoping that they would still have some! :)

I don't expect that they've run out yet. According to Dizpins, it's an edition size of 5000. You have to have an AP to purchase the pin, with a limit of 2.

I've rarely seen an AP pin sell out when there's a good edition size, though I don't remember the edition size of the creepy wreath AP pin last year which sold out very quickly, but then, that was also before the "2-pin limit" restriction.

The first pin (Mr. Hyde) is sold out. This also means you can't get the Ghoul'd Card (http://psc.disney.go.com/eventservices/event_disneyland644.html) and therefore can't get the bonus pin.

Also, the patches seem to be in pretty short supply. I don't know what the edition is limited to, but I went on Wednesday during the second week and they were sold out of the Jack (week #2) patches. :(

If anyone knows where I can get the week #2 patch, please PM me. Yes, I'm watching eBay but I've only seen two come up and I got outbid each time.
