Since they say in the newsletter that we have to play the host events, that usually means having to actually make it into the host room before the event is over to at least get to the consolation prize room. Unless they give to everyone in line who didn't make it into the event, I don't see how these so called "common pins" will stay common. It's been getting more difficult to actually get into the host events these days since they switched to slower games that are only open for an hour.
