How to Find Collectible Minecraft Video Game Pins

Minecraft lets gamers of all ages enjoy constructing and moving through a block-shaped world in the guise of a human character named Steve as he encounters unique creatures along the way in this unusual universe. When you're a fan of the Creepers, pigs, and zombies that make up this environment, collecting pins can be an affordable and enjoyable hobby, so check out which designs you can add to your collection of Minecraft merchandise.

What Are Some Common Designs?

When you begin to look at these accessories, you'll find that there are many different designs available depending on who your favorite characters are or on how large you want your pins to be. They also come in a variety of materials.

• Three-dimensional pins come in the signature pixel block shapes that some of the characters feature, and you may find options shaped like a Creeper, a skeleton, or a pig.
• Minecraft designs that are flat may be made of enamel, which gives them a sturdy and glossy look and feel. Some characters or designs you may come across include the diamond sword, a pickaxe, or a diamond brick.
• Buttons are another type of pin. Buttons are circular and range in size from small to oversized. They're usually glossy and have a straight pin across the back that secures into a metal loop for closure.

What Do You Do with Pins?

You may like how these badges look, yet you still might not be sure what exactly to do with them. There are a few ways to enjoy or display your Minecraft collection, or you could even do a combination of them.

• Create a board by using a cork board to display all of your designs and hang it on the wall or your game room, office, or bedroom. Then, you can enjoy looking at your collection.
• Wear them. It's not difficult to enhance a jacket, bag, or shirt by adding your favorite designs and letting everyone know that you're a proud fan of Minecraft.
• Put them on a lanyard. Many people wear one for work or school purposes, and you can customize yours by adding a little Minecraft flair.

What Makes Pins Exclusive or Rare?

You may come across a collectible that seems to be out of your price range and doesn't look like other designs you've seen before, but what makes this Minecraft pin different from the other ones you have?

• Limited-edition designs are sought after because there was a finite number made. Sometimes, these were created to promote a specific game or to commemorate an event, like MineCon, in which these accessories were only sold to guests of the event.
• A Minecraft pin that came in a special subscription box, such as Loot Crate, that not everyone had access to may be more difficult to find and be more prized.
• Some stores sell their own exclusive editions, such as ThinkGeek or GameStop. The limited availability makes these even more collectible for Minecraft fans.
