SkiFreak Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 If anyone goes to the Coke stands for pin trading, or even to the Coke pin stand at The Bay, could someone maybe ask and find out what happened to the 5 pin iCoke set? They released the first pin and the card to put the pins on (the five pins were supposed to form a Coke bottle), but they never released the other four pins. I wonder what happened to them? The pins were supposed to be available on the iCoke website, the first pin is still on there but without the card for the set. Also, saw the Cold-FX pins with product at Walmart, but ouch, the price tag was like $29! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first attempt was emailing iCoke, to which the response was that they didn't know. I then tweeted CokePinTrader, who went to check but hasn't replied. I think i might have called them too.... Best guess is that they've given up on it. They even changed the description on icoke, deleting the part with pin 1/5 . My guess is as good as yours! Maybe the card will be a collectors item?

tintin Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 What are you talking about here? (I think you're quoting didn't work the right way) sorry, the quoting got a bit funky. I was referring to the Omega pins, how long was the wait time from requesting to recieving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I was told that Coca Cola told iCoke, which is separate from the parent company, to stop the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiFreak Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Just curious, does anyone know if that cover story about pins that was in the Province a few days ago is available online anywhere? I just saw that issue in a dispenser but didn't pick up a copy. I think the title was "Pinheads". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintin Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 With Omega (second time) I had pretty good luck, it took only about a week, but it can vary each time you make an inquiry. The government of BC took almost eight months to reply, but sent me four pins (two different one). Most don't send a confirmation e-mail, so always include you address in the initial message. Do you remember which category did you send it to? Customer Service, Ambassadors, Press Office, Sales, Webmaster.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintin Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Under comments, there are various categories, so that's what I was wondering. Anyways, anyone know who to contact for GE? There are also a couple of Samsungs Im trying to get my hands on.... One week to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintin Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 On another note, maybe I'll start a topic of definitive lists for 2010 pins instead of searching thru the 73 (!) pages on this thread… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tintin Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Managed to get ten pins this weekend! Flew down to Toronto on Sunday and convinced a security guy to give me his Government of Canada pin (GC #2) and an Air Canada woman to give me her Air Canada pin (AC #1). Picked up a Germany-Canada flags pin and a Welcome to Vancouver Canadian Flag pin in the airport shop and arrived home to find two packages. One was from Mars Canada, with four different M&Ms pins plus a Snickers "Believe" pin. The second was from GE with one of their pins (Luge). Success all around! Nice catch! Who did you contact at GE for their pin? BTW, I got a few from the city of Surrey, BC today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millertime1851 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 For those of us who have never been to an Olympic pin-trading facility, is it acceptable to bring non-Olympic pins into the place so one can start trading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiFreak Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Went to Famous Players this evening to see the free showing of The Hangover for Scene members. Famous Players has an Olympic Games Combo consisting of large popcorn, large pop, and candy, plus a scratch card and a Coke pin.

pinfvr Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I rec'd the NK'MIP and Molson pins. Today I went to Vons market. They have several Coke displays with forms that say today only Feb 12th, if you purchase $10 of groceries and one of the items listed on the form, you get a free Olympic pin at check-out. My husband and I checked out separately and the checker gave us each 2 pins. The forms shows four different pins with a snowboarder, ice skater, hockey player & speed skater.

SkiFreak Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 For any of you out on the street pin trading already, anybody manage to get Sochi bridge pins yet? I'm heading down to Van on Feb 21, hoping to do pin trading on Monday and Tuesday in Vanouver and Richmond, and maybe Wednesday morning if there will be any trading going on in Surrey.
