Also the word "china" is not scratched off of all the scrappers. It was scratched off of the one I found on a lanyard and posted earlier. Maybe that
could have been the reason it was put on there in the first place. I dont know, just guessing.

but I can tell you there's definitely two tacks- one on each side of the posts. Yep, these are just exactly like that, except without the two tacks on each side of the post. I'll assume they are scrappers since one is Goofy. There were just too many on the lanyards (at Epcot on Easter Sunday) for them to be authentic pins. I also noticed one other thing and since I don't have an authentic lollipop to compare, someone can correct me if I'm off. I noticed on these pins I found on lanyards that the post itself is not 'centered' on the pin. The post is at the top, but seems askew. As if the post was hastily attached.

Hi guys here is the pic that was sent to me of the authentic pin straight from the tin! On a side note, Paypal so far has been AWESOME they had me return the
pins with delivery confirmation and said once the pins can be confirmed as delivered they will issue a refund. I will keep you posted!

Thank you so much for the pic!! I figured the ones I found were scrappers. As in the beginning of this thread, everyone needs to be on their toes with this
set. There are TONS of the scrapper version on lanyards at WDW.

I'm sure that this has been brought up before, but just a reminder that if you ever see anyone in the parks trading off large amounts of
bootlegs/scrappers or if you traded for a pin from the pin trading areas that is known not to have been released by Disney yet...PLEASE grab the the first
manager you see if you want to help solve this situation. Its a quiet operation, but Disney has been trying little by little to nab these guys. We don't
even live anywhere near Disney and we have seen 2 people (on separate occasions) be arrested by Orange County Sheriffs for trading large amounts of bootlegs on
to the cast lanyards - this is all just while we were on vacation in the parks! It's a slow process, but every little bit helps. Most Disney managers
have been warned about the situation and given instructions on what to do. As we all know, what are the odds that a random Disney manager could tell a
difference between a bootleg and an official pin? I know it sounds like the "neighborhood watch program", but it wouldn't hurt to be a tipster
and help them out if you see and know this to be the case.

PLEASE grab the the first manager you see if you want to help solve this situation.I tried this at Animal Kingdom when I saw a 'group' of people dumping scrappers and cheaper pins onto lanyards. I told the manater I wasn't concerned about the cheaper pins (OLD disney store pins and pins from the post office--since they are ligit), but I knew for sure the other pins mixed in were scrappers for sure. The manager was either new, misinformed or didn't care...sigh.... I'll try again when I see the next round of scrapper dumpers. I tried desperately to find who was dumping the lollipop pins at Epcot on Easter Sunday, but they were either gone or just too fast for me.

I don't have a complete set, but I do have 4 for trade including the LE600 Minnie. (I bought the tin myself, so YES I'm sure they are authentic).
Still looking for a real Chessie.... Cristy |

I haven't gotten a complete set, but I did manage to pull a Stitch out of a tin (bought from DTD myself) the other night, which was pretty
exciting. He's up for trade, if anyone needs him.
