PIN BAZAAR
Pin bazaar is back!
This year, rather than trading with Origins Staff for Rare Pins, we are transitioning to a ticket system. Each Origins Game Fair 2026 Pin Bazaar Pin from a participating vendor includes a ticket that can be collected and traded for Rare Pins at the Foam Brain Games booth, #1614!
The Convention Set, which is available at the Origins Merch Store, will have a special ticket that counts as 3 regular tickets.
7 Tickets = One Rare Pin
14 Tickets = Two Rare Pins
21 Tickets = Three Rare Pins
Collect all three 2026 Rare Pins to receive the Ultra Rare Pin!
Yes, you read that right- Origins Game Fair is getting its first ever Ultra Rare Pin - a Glow In the Dark, Hologram Crit!
You can find the whole checklist, and a map, here: https://tinyurl.com/Origins2026Map

Pin Bazaar brings the excitement of collectible enamel pins to gaming, pop culture, and fandom conventions around the world!
Pin Bazaar was founded in 2018 as a fun, interactive event for convention attendees and has been growing in popularity ever since. Pin Bazaar has something for everyone—pins are a relatively low-cost souvenir, and with so many designs, it's a fun scavenger hunt while you explore the vendor hall!
At every Pin Bazaar show, you can expect to find dozens of participating vendors—from artists and authors to famous gaming brands—who have created pins specifically for Pin Bazaar. Can you collect them all? Acquire as many as you'd like, trade them with other attendees at our daily trading meetups, and collect rare pins!
Outside of the show, you can connect with our amazing community of passionate pin enthusiasts on our Discord server.
