I have two magnetic pins with spinning lights (same exact layout as one another), but they're from ages ago. I got one of them as an audience member when the show came to Chicago in March 2008. Apparently, they updated the layout last year to match the Season 32 Round 3 layout (albeit without the gift tag). I only saw the Season 32 version twice, the first time on Instagram (shown below) and the second time in the show's collectible cookbook. Since it's the first piece of Wheel merchandise (game or not) to feature the Express wedge, I've been trying to get my hands on one, but I can't find one, not even on Ebay, leading me to believe that it's rather rare or is out too soon to become common. Is anyone else looking for this? As for those who have this version, how'd you get it? http://instagr.am/p/0yDmtFBIsU |

I have a Season 26 version of the blinky pin: the R4 layout with the MDW.
Judging by the Instagram caption, they're giving out this newer version to lucky potential contestants at Wheelmobile events.

I like that configuration. S32, IMO, had the best wheel configuration. It actually had variety.
I'm hoping they change it back for S34.

Thought I'd bump this back up since I attended the WheelMobile event in Chicago earlier today. Although I wasn't called up on stage, but since I stayed until after the event, I got a keychain and the pin that I wanted! It wasn't even a magnetic pin. It's still a blinkie pin, thoe. http://instagr.am/p/BGS6PtVOnsM Also, I thought I'd add that two online friends were with me today at auditions, one of them being the awesome tenpoundhammer . All in all, to say that I had a blast would be an understatement! I was going nuts throughout the whole thing! You should've seen how crazy I was, eybyon! |

I attended the Wheelmobile event in Rosemont on June 4th/5th. I was lucky enough to get called on stage June 5th and was reeeaallly hoping for a blinkie pin; but no such luck, I got the t-shirt and Wheelmobile cutout. Fingers crossed for a call back!! (I have never been a member of any online boards so if I break some rule let me know!! Still figuring things out.)
