Are these pins gonna be available as a set, anyone know. I suppose it would be quite expensive.

On another note I just typed in www.london2012.co.uk/shop, just to see what happens, and there is a holding page that appears, so we must be getting closer to an online store.

About time too, I think London is slightly behind in this.

Also.. the Vancouver/London handover pins - where can I find them? Vancouver's store isn't selling any (other than the coca-cola pin of the day one). However there are 3 listed on the london2012pins.com

I think your best bet for the VANOC pin (VAN1591) is eBay. There are quite a few now and the prices are dropping. As for the 2 Honav ones (0191 and 0181) they'll both be available soon in the UK. They are both retail pins so I think you'll see them in the Museum of London or maybe even the online shop very soon. If I get any more sales information I'll post on the blog as usual.

Sorry typo on the pin numbers. The Honav pins are 0191 and 0192.

I have some of the carlton books with the inserted souvenirs (Olympic musuem are next on my list), great books. If London gets books like those, they're on to a winner.

The Landmark pins have been launched and they are cool. Make a great set

When seen together they look dynamic as unlike other pin sets the logo design is camouflaged , unfortunately individually they are CRAP
Especially Alexandra Palace.

London at night is still by far the best pin set.

Love this dynamic pin set - it's really cool. Better by far than the London at Night set!

No its not

I am very disappointed I was hoping to be able to wear an Alexandra palace Olympic pin ,
unfortunately I will not be able to do that,

Seen together they look better

BUT

I’m afraid individually the Alexandra place pin is PATHETIC.

finally, they'll be getting quite a bit of money from me

Now all we need is our central london OMEGA countdown clock, our mascots. I'm supposing all that will be in the comming months.

[4gamesandcounting]

Omega should do a clock - I wonder where it will be? I hope somewhere down on the South Bank - next to the Eye would be cool. I suspect it will Trafalgar Square though - that would be good too. Also expect to see one in T5 and maybe even a mini one in Weymouth.
