I found a few large pix of it on eBay. $175 seems like an awful lot of money for a pin. Even if it's big enough to use as a weapon!

FYI, there is a brand new accessory HM bag coming out on 8/27. Check it out in the new pin release section on the main Disney pin website! For $8.00 it looks
really neat!

That is nice, Guy, and it looks a lot like the little drawstring bags they sell at the Tokyo Disney Resort. Can't remember the exact name in Japanese.
Looking at the list, I can't believe there are still more Haunted Mansion pins coming out!

AT DLR today, just saw the last 2 super jumbo HM pins sell out and today's release of the HM cast member designed pin sold out by 1:00pm or so. They are
both beautiful pins!

Thank you for starting this thread, MasterGracey13, and I'm sorry I didn't discover it before posting some pin info in another thread.
Thanks, Guy, for all your interesting updates on when LE items sold out, and which items were still available when you visited DLR.
It has certainly been difficult to predict which pin release events one had to be at early, and which LE items would still be available later.
I am surprised that some of the LE items released earlier in the O-Pin House festival were still available at some of the pin stores when I visited DLR today
(8/19/09):
There were still a few of the Haunted Mansion Rooms boxed sets ($95) at Little Green Men. Don't know why they've been there forever, but maybe they
are the last ones that everyone rejected because they were slightly damaged (paper peeling back from having the plastic sleeve slid on against the direction
of the opening doors). Always carefully inspect everything!
The Spell Book with Tarot Card pins (($75) was still available at Disney's Pin Traders at Downtown Disney.
The following jumbo pins were still available at Little Green Men: Jumbo Record Album, Jumbo Grandfather Clock, Jumbo Moving Day (all $35).
The Cloisonne Sculpture-Caretaker and Singing Busts ($75) was still available at Little Green Men.
Although I didn't see them at any other stores, the Bat Lanyard Medal with Black Light Decoder was still available at Disney's Pin Traders at
Downtown Disney.
I was also surprised to see a few things that have turned up at stores, I assume due to customer returns, but I imagine they sold quickly:
One 40th Jumbo Haunted Mansion Plaque (the defective one without the engraving, originally $70) at World of Disney.
One Amenities Collectors Set ($78) at Westward Ho Trading Co.
Some of the SHAG merchandise was still available at the Disneyana Shop on Main Street (today they also had 2 of the boxed mouse ears in addition to the
following items), and at the New Orleans Square shop near Pirates (they moved all the HM and Nighmare stuff from Bat on Rouge): the aloha shirts, tee
shirts, water bottles, coasters, glasses, lunchboxes.
If you are looking for something that you think may have sold out, check the stores and/or call Disneyland DelivEARS at 1-800-362-4533 in case items are
turning up due to customer returns or maybe someone found them in the stockroom, etc.

Thanks for the update Little Tiny Leota! Did anyone still have the new Shag lantern with the bat on top? I think I saw a photo of it on Ebay taken in the Port
Royal shop in New Orleans Square.

Glad you're enjoying your SHAG lantern, Guy!
An update on pin merchandise--I was at DLR today (8/28/09) and there was no sign of the HM drawstring pouch which was to be released 8/27/09 according to disneypins.com. None of the pin shops had it, and none of the castmembers had seen it or knew anything about why it wasn't out yet. Will keep you posted. The open edition, limited release Haunted Mansion Holiday pin is out:

It's very cute--the snowflake is attached and is a moving part of the pin. |

Thanks for the update LTL! That's REALLY strange that DLR didn't have that new bag as stated on the pin website! I hope they get them in time for the
9-9-09 event!

I was at DLR today (9/01/09) and still no sign of the HM drawstring pouch anywhere. A castmember at Disney's Pin Traders at Downtown Disney looked it up
in a binder and explained that the release date of August 27 might not have been definite, and that a range for the arrival of certain shipments was listed
from August 23 - Sept. 5. Hopefully they'll get them in before 9/09/09!

Found it at Little Green Men at DLR, but didn't check other pin shops. |

Thanks Little Tiny Leota for posting about the pouch being available! I was just showing castmembers the printout from the website on Sept. 20th and they
hadn't even heard of it, so glad it's finally in!

So did any Doombugs get the Piece of History HM pin? After reading about all the problems they had on Dizpins, people getting trampled, traffic jams, cutting
in lines, etc, I'm sure glad I didn't try to go early! I was at the park anyway that day to meet friends, so I figured I might as well try the stand by
line at 1:00pm. Well, I was 2nd in line and got my pins along with only about 3 or 4 people behind me! Ends up they had 10 or 11 pins leftover which amazed me!
It's a neat pin, but not worth getting stampeded for! I'll stick with standby lines only from now on. I had good luck with that all through the O-pin
house event.

Glad you got the Piece of History HM pins, Guy! I was happy to hear that the standby procedure worked well for you this time, and you got 2 of the few
remaining pins.
That is not always the case. There have been numerous times when people were waiting in the standby line from 11 AM, when a castmember suddenly decided to change where the line would be forming by saying, "The line is going to be over there--DON'T RUN!" Of course this resulted in a stampede, with people who were at the end of the line now at the front of the line, and those who had been first in line did not get pins. I was at DLR at 4:45 AM for the Piece of History HM pins, and I was one of the last 10 people to get a wristband! Since I was one of the lucky ones to get the pins, I won't complain about the utter chaos! |

Little Tiny Leota, I'm so glad your early line up paid off for you! I walked over to the old Rocket Rods queue line door about 10:35am and a CM told me to
come back at 11:00am when he'll then let us line up downstairs in the black dungeon as I like to call it. Then at 1:00pm, with about 15 people in the whole
line, we were let up to purchase the remaining pins, which was all of about 3 or 4 people before selling out.
