Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two

There are two kinds of Pins in the game i.e. generic and unique. This tally is for the unique Pins, general ones don't count and only serve as currency to buy the unique ones.

As you might have gathered, this is a major pain. It's so incredibly easy to miss a unique pin that even using a back up save doesn't protect against it as often you wont even know you missed it. Not all 176 pins are like this though, only about 1/3 of the Pins are found in the Wasteland and are therefore missable, the rest are bought at stores, most notably the Pin Trader in Mean Street North. They become available to buy as you progress in the story and there's also the Mystery Bag you can only buy for generic pins that all contain a unique pin. Note that you cannot find in the Wasteland, the Pins you buy in stores nor can you buy any of the pins you find in the Wasteland so it's one or the other.

You can find details on all 176 pins, where to find them, how much they cost and crucially where all of the story and quest related pins are and how to get the all without upsetting anything else, by using the Collectable Guide found here: LINK.
