eBay has been active with BMW pins!! Anything from around £16 to £64 for the new BMW pin.
A Lloyds Banking Group pin has surfaced on eBay (note it's not Lloyds TSB). It was gold coloured with what appeared to be 3 stacked boxes on it. The number was LLY0001 - so a new numbering series (not the LTSB series anymore) which reflects the changes at Lloyds over the last year or so.
I've heard rumours of a London Buildings set to be released soon - this isn't the London at Night set re-issue, but new designs I believe.
Finally, you all know that it's 2 Years To Go on July 27th, but hands up who noticed that it's 750 Days to Go on July 8th? I wonder if we'll see a pin for this countdown milestone too?
I'm hoping that the new issues will pick up over the next few weeks until 27 July. Remember last year, there were quite a few pins issued around the 3YTG mark, so here's hoping.

Hello,
Just wanted to confirm a couple of details re the Lloyds TSB pin (LLY0001). It is in fact branded Lloyds TSB and not Lloyds Banking Group. There is also a Bank of Scotland equivilant. There were also 7,500 of each design produced.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the update and info about the BoS pin. Are you able to get a photo of the BoS pin? You can email it to info@london2012pins.com if you're able. Are you able to say what's on the back of the BoS pin.
Thanks,
Paul.
I have seen the BMW pins selling for ridiculously high prices. GE also has a new pin as does Adidas but they seem to be rare. Cadbury says they are flooded with requests and are not handing any out until they decide what to do. Did any of these companies not check with other past Olympic sponsors so as to know what would probably happen and how to handle it? Live and learn I guess.
