Hoping to get merlin passes! How do my sons collect pop badges?

You normally get one badge in your pass pack. When you on park 8deally Legoland or chessington you buy a kids lunch and you get another badge. If you ask nicely you might be able to get a couple more from one meal. Then as you walk around park you will notice staff have badges on their lanyards and you just ask if you can swap. Just don't forget that the staff are working and might be very busy. That's pretty much all there is to it. 

 

Sometimes there are special events where you can get more badges. Also the sea lifes are a good place to get badges and it gives you more swaps.

Two things:

 

1. I don't really get the hYpE behind pop badges, soz

2. Someone on the MAP Facebook page congratulated Merlin on getting some listings on eBay removed selling pop badges - I don't see the problem, sure it's not with the "spirit" of pop badges swapping etc. but it's not as if it's against any laws as such? They're just plastic discs given away free... 

3. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Merlin-Pop-Badge-myfirstcoaster-Thorpe-park-/222593949077?hash=item33d3a21d95:g:xbYAAOSwReBZc4h~ - if you pay for £45 for a small plastic disc with a sticker on it, you are an absolute idiot.

I presume these badges are much, MUCH cheaper to make than the Disney ones... It's weird that they sell both types of badges (I.e. pins AND pop) though, guess kids prefer the cheap plastic ones and us lot with more money than sense like the proper ones?

Why would anyone pay £171 for a bit of yellow plastic with a sticker of a meerkat on it?

But the sticker has a meerkat AND a teddy meerkat.  That x200 its value.
