FAQ
  • Why is the pin I have found a strange BLUE / GREEN colour? It doesn't look right?
  • Each pin comes with a scratch protective layer on, simply peel this layer off to see the pin as it should be! (Image Below...)
  • Im struggling to find any pins! Where are they?
  • My advice is to search physically around the conference booth areas, there are likely at least 100 pins in that area most of the time!
  • Yo I actually made it all the way down this page and read all the crap above... Can I have a pin?
  • SURE! The first 10 people that come to me and say "Ken Badel the evil Baron from earth" can have a pin... why not!
