The BT one continues their countdown design combining the a composite logo with a countdown panel. This one contains a new version of the BT/2012 composite logo though using a purple 2012 logo rather than a clear or white one.

The Adidas pin mirrors the 1000 day and 1 year pins in that in merges black and gold elements with the srad shape and large numbers to create the pin.

No idea on issue sizes for these two at the moment.
There is also a 100 day pin from EDF. This continues their firework theme and the pin is limited to 600 pieces. Photo to follow soon.
Thanks to the fellow traders that I met up with today. We got wet but I think we agree it was worth it.

Would we know this seller by chance!
We do - I bet...
There is also an EDF 100 DTG pin on Ebay.
it's funny watching anonymous having a conversation with himself :-)
Who knew that Anonymous was such a popular name in the U.K.!
Funny thing :-)
Will the REAL Anonymous please stand up. It is starting to get too confussing, who is who and who did what and why.
My Guess it was Miss Scarlet in the Kichen with the Lead Pipe
Or was it ?
I think it was Noel - murder by striped shirt :)
or was it the Wookie in the Hall with the Crossbow :)
How is the Vampire Hunting going ? :[
I HEAR THE SANDCASTLE WAS NOW BEEN PULLED DOWN,
FROM ITS PLACE ON THE SAND BY THE SEA
HERE IS HOPING THAT THE 2012 STADIUM WILL LAST LONGER,
IT IS PART OF THE LEGACY YOU SEE.
WHAT NEXT WILL WE ALL HAVE TO CELEBRATE,
ON THE COUNT DOWN TO THE WORLDS GREATEST SHOW ?
A NEW MAYOR, MORE RIOTS & EVEN MORE PROTESTS
I KINDA FEEL SORRY FOR MISTER, I MEAN --LORD COE.
WELL IT IS NOW LESS THAN 100 DAYS TO GO,
TO SEE THE GAMES OF THE ATHLETIC AND GREAT,
HERE IS HOPING THAT WE ALL GET OUR TICKETS,
OR YOU WON'T GET INSIDE OF THE GATE.
IF YOU GET LUCKY, AND GET THROUGH SECURITY,
WITH YOUR BAG OF COLLECTABLE PINS
REMEMBER THE PIN-HEADS MANTRA,
THE EARLY TRADER GETS ALL THE PINS !
Do we have any idea how many more of these "Days to go" pins we are expecting at all?
Sleathy - you mean you already missed the 99 and 98 days to go pins?
Sleathy, I have no inside info, but a bunch of us were discussing this on Wednesday and the best guess we had was 50, 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 and maybe 40,30,20. Remember this is just a guess.
I think that the Austrailians issued many more count down pins than most. BUT I maybe wrong. I think 1 month to go, 2 weeks to go and then a daily count down.
I am looking for my "Fortnight to go" pin and the "Saturday after next" pin...... and after the closing Events what about a "Well That was Worth It" pin and the "Well, what am I going to collect NEXT ? " pin or what about " I went to the 2012 Games, and all I got was a Pin !" pin badge. If the guys from Heaven make it, we will all buy it no doubt,
If Honav had taken a leaf out of Athens 2004's book, they wouldnt be struggling so much to get to 2012 pins......
There we had:
1) every month from 24 to 1, in Greek and English versions (48 pins)
2) every 10 weeks from 120 to 10, in Greek and English (24 pins)
3) 1200 days then 1000 days, then every 100 days down to 100dtg, in Greek and English (of course!) (24 pins)
4) Every 10 days from 90 days down to 10 with (you guessed it!) Greek and English versions (18 pins)
5) And then the piece de resistance....10 days down to 1 in THREE (!!!) different sets (30 pins)
Although this time i'm missing having the weeks and months pins, i think 2004's efforts may have been a little excessive to say the least
has anyone else noticed the bt 100 days pin has the backstamp is bt015.have i missed a load of bt pins as the 200 days pin is bt007
I have enough problems seeing what is on the front..... let alone what is on the back. I leave that to the professionals..... ie Paul
Noel, are you sure you don't have any dodgy pins in your collection?! If you can't read the backstamp it might be because there isn't one!!!
I think I have 6,5,4,3,2,1 and start pins from the USA in 2004 as I was over there then ...hope there aren't too many as it is too expensive...I have the 1 year, 200 days and 100 days so far.
