SkiFreak Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 Does anybody know how many Vancouver 2010 pins are now available? I have 13 so far - I can post photos if anyone wants. I also have four 2006 pins that I got at the BAY.
SkiFreak Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Posted February 24, 2006 Here's what I got so far for 2010:
Kenadian Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 I dunno, looks like you got them all. Every time I try to get one, they are always sold out. Oh well, I have the free ones from Imagine 2010 and Bell.

Oh well, I have the free ones from Imagine 2010 and Bell. I contacted Bell about their sponsorship pin that they released last year but they were out of them. They are sending me two that have the companies logo as well as the Canadian Olympic Committee's logo. They did tell me that they will be making more when it gets closer to 2010.
vanhope Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 Where did you buy them? I didn't even know that they were available.
SkiFreak Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Posted February 25, 2006 Where did you buy them? I didn't even know that they were available. You can get the pins at The Bay and Zellers, but they aren't an HBC licensed product so you should be able to get them at souvenir shops as well. Also, a number of the 2010 sponsors already have sponsorship pins that are little or no cost if you contact them. Check the Vancouver 2010 website for the sponsors list. I'm getting some sponsorship pins in the mail so when they arrive I'll post photos of them here. I've got about three coming and I'm still waiting for a reply from other companies that I had to contact via snail mail. If you want some Torino pins, just go to the Torino website and look at there sponsors. Don't forget media companies that are covering the games such as NBC and CBC.
SkiFreak Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Posted February 25, 2006 Petro Canada has a sponsorship pin. Here's how it looks: http://www.pindemonium.com/va20pcapin.html
yianis Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Where did you buy them? I didn't even know that they were available. Check out The Bay's website: http://shop.hbc.com/webapp....tegory=
SkiFreak Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Posted February 27, 2006 Where did you buy them? I didn't even know that they were available. Check out The Bay's website: http://shop.hbc.com/webapp....tegory= Just a note, The Bay's website features some 2006 and 2010 pins but not all of them. I sent an e-mail to VANOC if they will have a list posted somewhere of all the pins available, but at this moment they don't. If a list comes out then it will probably be on Laurie Artiss's website, the company that designs the pins: http://www.pinpeople.com Laurie Artiss is located in Regina and has colaborated with Aminco down in the states to release the 2010 pins. Another place that will probably post a list will be the Pacific Pin Club: http://www.pacificpinclub.org/ Today I received my first sponsorship pin in the mail, courtesy of Bell Canada. It's not a 2006 Torino pin or a Vancouver 2010 pin, but features the Canadian Olympic Committee log as well as the Bell logo. Bell actually ran out of the 2010 pins they had last year for the unveiling of the Inukshuk logo as these were the first 2010 pins released. They did say in their e-mail to me that they will probably have more when it comes closer to 2010. Here's how the pin looks:
SkiFreak Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Posted February 28, 2006 Here's one more I got yesterday: From the 2010 pins, The only one that I think I'm missing is this one: There's still two 2006 pins I'm looking for. They are:
SkiFreak Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Posted March 1, 2006 I got one of the 2006 pins I was missing:
SkiFreak Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Posted March 4, 2006 I got my Torino 2006 CBC media pin in the mail today, courtesy of CBC. I guess for 2010 it will say CTV.
SkiFreak Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Posted March 7, 2006 I got two more pins. The other 2006 pin I was missing, the one with the HBC colour stripes behind the 2006: I also got one of the HBC 2010 sponsorship pins in the mail, courtesy of HBC. This is my first 2010 sponsorship pin:
SkiFreak Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Posted March 16, 2006 More 2010 sponsorship pins. I got some more in the mail. Rona sent me two pins - a Canadian Olympic Committee sponsorship pin and a 2010 sponsorship pin: Petro Canada sent me two 2010 pins in the mail:
SkiFreak Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Posted March 21, 2006 Does anybody know if GM has any 2010 sponsorship pins?

SkiFreak Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Posted January 22, 2007 Radar the Pin Guy has the best listing for 2010 pins. Here's the website: http://radarthepinguy.com/index.htm I'd like to get my hands on some of the Vancouver landmark pins. I haven't seen them at my local Bay yet.
SkiFreak Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Posted January 26, 2007 HBC is selling a couple of new sets. Here's the first: Map pin set (link) Here's the second: Man and Nature pin set (link) I don't know if these are online exclusives or not as I haven't seen them in the stores yet.
SkiFreak Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Posted January 27, 2007 Found one of the ones from the first set that I was missing: Supposedly the first set is already discontinued. Here are two I found last summer at Olympic Park in Calgary: Here's a unique one I found relating to the '88 games: Here's the eBay page for all Olympic pins: eBay Olympic Pin Listings
SkiFreak Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Posted January 27, 2007 Here's another I found at Olympic Park in Calgary and forgot to add to the previous post: During the summer I received a Torino pin in the mail from Visa. The may still have some if you are looking for 2006 Torino pins. I'm sending out letters to GM, McDonald's, and Bell again to see if they have any new pins available. I tried McDonalds's and Bell before but McDonald's didn't have any and Bell sent me the pin with the COC logo and not the VANOC logo. I'll also give Canadian Pacific a try.
mr.x Posted January 27, 2007 Report Posted January 27, 2007 SkiFreak, how much have you spent on all of these pins?!!! o_O
