What's your theme?
I might not have seen a thread like this in awhile so this could be fun.
Do you have a pin theme? Do you just collect what you like?
It can range from Muppets
to chip and dale.
I might not have just one theme. I collected Sorceror Mickey, Figment, Logos (the castle etc.), Pluto, attraction pins, and pins I just liked. Now I may narrow it down to Pirates, Star Wars, the Haunted Mansion, and/or attraction pins. I am not sure yet.
My theme matters when I want to buy pins at Disney (unless I am buying pins to trade). When I am trading, usually I might trade for pins that I like and/or are valuable. Last year, there was a booster pack available that was 4 pins and each was for each park. I liked the pack but I didn't buy it. I eventually found all 4 pins while trading. They aren't that valuable but I like them
So what is your theme if you have one?

I have a few random pins but I do have a lot of the Pirates pins. Those are the ones that I tend to search out.

Can you tell from my name? I helped my DH to start collecting Pluto. We like the ones of Pluto by himself better than the elaborate ones. I'm having too much fun helping DH to have chosen a theme for myself.

Well. . . I collect many different pins, but focus on Socerer Hat, special events, and year pins.

I do not collect pins but, my two boys do.
Taylor is going to start this year.
The boys get one pin from each park, each day. The trick is that the pin has to reflect that park. In other words, they will not buy a Test Track pin at MGM. Then, at the end of the trip the can pick one pin that is whatever they want. Last year Sean got a POTC pin and Riley went on a mission to find the NYY Mickey pin. Unfortunatley they were sold out everywhere in the World, we ordered it when we got home.
They love pin collecting.

All of my pins are of Mickey Mouse....by himself, with nothing around him..... I have Jedi Mickey and Mickey as Peter Pan, and Mickey as Jack and Steamboat Willie Mickey and Raincoat Mickey and Pirate Mickey and Sorcerer Mickey and Old School Mickey and Golden Mickey... I have about 25 pins, and I love them all!! ... I am thinking about starting a Mickey and Minnie set.

We just got back from WDW last Thursday and it was the first time we did pin trading. I thought it would be fun for the kids- little did I know that everyone would get into it!
There were ten of us and I ordered a random lot of 50 from Ebay before we left. We decided beforehand that we would theme our lanyards around our favorite Disney movies. My mom chose "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?". My various cousins chose "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Beauty and the Beast", "Peter Pan", "Princesses", "The Lion King" etc. My sister chose "The Little Mermaid" (I was jealous as there were some pretty cool pins to be found in the park for that movie) and I chose "Alice in Wonderland" (my favorite Disney movie and a very good book). However, it is very hard to find unique pins for Alice and friends. For instance, my sister traded for a Ariel Father's Day pin, an Ariel topiary pin cast member pin, Ariel in her wedding dress and she bought a revolving Ariel pin which shows her as a mermaid on one side and as a girl on the other. I, on the other hand, saw the same solitary Alice pin for sale in each of the four parks and one Cheshire cat with a spinning tail. Ah well, it just made hunting for pins that much more rewarding!

I've seen a cool looking Cheshire cat sculpting a Pluto topiary pin on eBay. But it was above our price limit.

We tend to get a variety of pins, themed around our favorite movies - Beauty and the Beast, Peter Pan, Snow White. My DD likes to get cat character pins. DH just recently decided to focus on Donald Duck pins. On our Dec. trip my focus is on Pirates for me and DS, Princesses and Fairies for DD, Donald for DH, and also Playhouse Disney for DS - hoping to find Handy Manny and Johnny and the Sprites. Of course, it will be Christmas season, so there will probably be a bunch of those purchased as well! What an addictive habit!!

DS (who got me and DD hooked on this crazy hobby!) collects sports themed pins
and vehicle themed pins, and anything else that he thinks looks "cool".
DD is just starting but has a thing for Chip&Dale and Pooh
I try to collect special event pins (Mother's day when we were there, the anniv of the WL--which also happens to be my wedding anniv!, Food & Wine etc) and Steamboat Willie pins (hard to find but close to my heart!)
Some we got on previous trips have become "traders" as the kids have grown and tastes changed.

I have 4 main groups:
1.Villains
2.Walt Disney Pins
3.Pirates
4.Sports [predominatly basketball]
The pin trading is so cute !!
And of course i have pleanty of random ones!

My Themes
I collect Alice in Wonderland pins, but specificly the March Hare, as he is my favorite Disney character. I also collect attraction pins and characters dressed up as other characters...
March Hare: It's very simple. Now, thirty days has Septem -No. wait... An unbirthday, if you have a birthday, then you -
[laughs]
March Hare: She doesn't know what an unbirthday is

My main collection: Magic Kingdom park pins. My pins are displayed on a framed poster sized map of the MK. I have just about every current attraction (the CoP pin was the hardest to find!). I am also doing Epcot and AK maps but those only have 5-6 pins on them as of now.
I also have a set of Peter Pan pins, some Mickey pins, and some Pooh Heffalump pins.

I bought some pins of e-bay for DKs to trade last year at WDW. It was soo much fun.
DS(9) - Mostly Stitch, hidden mickey CM only pins, years, attractions, parks, Chip and Dale, Mickey Sorcerer
DS(5) - princesses, princesses, princesses, Tinkerbell, with a Bambi, Pooh and Figment thrown in - did I mention )
I also got a flag pin for them from every country we visited in Epcot.
This year we are doing it again. I also got enough for me to trade. I love Pixar so will be looking for Buzz, Woody, etc. I also would like pirates and Nightmare before Christmas. Of course, I will have to look for some Mickeys, attractions, and a Monorail pin.
It will be neat to see what themes the DKs and I pick this year. DS says it won't be Stitch this year. He wants to try something different. We'll see what happens when he sees a real cool Stictch pin he does not have already. or
Next trip - August 2008 - Poly (yoohoo!)
July 2007 - CR
July 2006 - CR
Several off-site trips pre 2006

I don't really have one specific theme.
I am trying to stick to characters dressed as other characters, but also pick out pins that are unique to a particular trip (eg Christmas, Halloween, Labor Day, etc.).
Also, I look at what pins the Cast Members are wearing and try and trade for any Cast pins that I like.
Of course, I'm open to any pin that grabs my attention...
Disney is life......the rest is just details!
