SkiFreak Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I ordered both Coca Cola pins from the iCoke.ca website about a week and a half ago. Shipping status says that they are still processing so I don't know when they will arrive. Time to drink some more Coke and get more points for some trader pins. I still haven't heard back from YVR and Rona. Rona has some new pins according to Radar's site. I'm gonna give Atos and Omega a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agny12 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I just heard from YVR that they are not giving out pins anymore. I got 2 from them a while back. I have never gotten a pin from Rona and I have tried emailing and calling everyone I can find on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiFreak Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Coke has released a new pin through iCoke. The pin is actually the first of a set of five. All five pins form a stylized Coke bottle. The first pin commemerates the Torch Relay and comes with a display card for 12,200 points or 9,750 points if you are a VIP member. Here's how it looks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Check out the new oversized Aboriginal Pins in the wooden boxes.

SkiFreak Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Checked my icoke status. My order is still processing. I am saving up points for that five pin set though. I got two pins in the mail from Rona. I was hoping to get the hard hat one or the one with the hammer. Instead I got the rectangular one from the initial release along with the matching COC pin. I think the hardhat pin and the hammer one will be highly sought after next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 There are actually 2 different RONA hammers ... one with "Building Canada's Games" and another "Fabrication". The new Aboriginal wooden boxed pins are now listed on the Olympic Store for $50 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiFreak Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I got my iCoke pins in the mail today: Just for size comparison, here's the Torch Relay pin next to a quarter: Now I need to drink about four more bottles of Sprite and I should have enough points to get the first pin of the five pins set.

AmaniS Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 The iCoke pins look great. It is really a shame they do not make these available in other countries. Were there iCoke Beijing pins available in other countries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobart Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Does anyone know if there is a dedicated Olympic Store in Downtown? I can find the details of the flagship stores at the YVR airport but nothing for the downtown area? If there isn't one is there a store that has a good range of pins and other merchandise? I will be in Vancouver for a few hours in late May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 The Bay is THE Olympic Store downtown (Granville and W. Georgia). They currently have a large section of the main floor dedicated to the 2010 Olympics and by the fall that section will be enlarged to 3/4 of the main floor. They have all the retail pins issued, most of the coins, mascots, Birks jewelry, and a large selection of clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen those new GE pins that are posted on Radar's site. It's a set of 6 pins. Those are nice. I'm going to try and see if I can get some.

Bob Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hudson House Trading in Gastown is another good source of 2010 retail pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 When buying 2010 Olympic pins only buy from reputable sources such as Radarthepinguy and a others. There is a group in China that are getting someone to steal pins from the factory. They are making counterfeit pins etc etc. Aritiss Arminco is trying to put a stop to this. I understand 3 people have already been sent to jail. So be very, very careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skscorpion Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hi everybody. I am a new member and I am trying to collect and trade pins. I would be interested in trading olympic pins, But I am obtaining pins thruogh my MLA and MP and would be interested in trading some non Olympic pins to some people from outside my province and outside Canada. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiFreak Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Even though it's not 2010, here is something I scored today at the local Value Village for $3.99: it's the 1988 Calgary Olympic Games Coca Cola Mascot Pin set! It does need some "restoration" work. The front plastic is a little dusty and scratched and the frame is separating a little bit. Also, a number of the pins have "yellowed" over the years. There's only three in the set that are still nice and white. I have a couple loose pins from this set and they too have yellowed. It's hard to find ones that haven't discoloured over the years. For 20 pins you can't beat a price of $3.99! I'm hoping we get some sets like this for 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
