Each year Disney release some exclusives and unique items at their official online website which is only available there. This includes special pins.
Disney released a lot of different pins in 2018, with some inspired by live-action movies or animated movies. Pins can also show characters or other things.
Normally, Disney release these "Limited Edition" pins but 2018 was totally different. Only a few pins and pin sets were actually "Limited Edition". Most of them were not released in limited availability.
In 2018 Disney Store was under a big update: it was renamed "shopDisney". Although nothing else happened, the online website should now be known as the new name. It happened to the European Disney Store websites in August 2018.
Below is a list with images of each pin released during 2018. The price and release dates are also listed.
Please note: this information is for Europe only.
