Hey guys I got a question.
So I have only recently gotten back into my gw account and I'm loving it. The community is great and there is just so much to do. But I recently came across Gw pins during my Google searches.
They look so cool and interesting but I cant find anyone selling. 
So my question is does anyone know where to get any?
Thanks guys
its from collector edition box, i guess
I got 2 nightfall collectors editions a while back and got pins with both of them. They were the same 2 pins in each box though so I'm not sure about the diversity of them and how they are seeded.

Final Set of Skill Pins released at PAX
As you may be aware, the winners of the Guild Wars World Championship selected eight of their favorite skills, and from those we crafted attractive 1-inch skill pins. The first set of pins (Crippling Shot and Aura of the Lich) was released in May at E3, the second set (Contemplation of Purity and Energy Surge) at San Diego Comic Con, and the third set (Gale and Eviscerate) were released at Gen Con. Now you have a chance to collect the 4th set of pins at PAX where you can also play in the very first Guild Wars Live, and compete for $10,000 in the Guild Wars 10k Arena! No account is needed; just bring your willingness to compete. All participants in the PAX 10k Arena will also receive the first three skill pin sets while supplies last as well! So come play Guild Wars LIVE, compete for $10,000 and get your own set of these limited edition pins!
some of the pins were given out at PAX some were given out as pvp ladder (see same page August 21, 2006).
Pins were also awarded for Halloween contest winners:

They did the same for the 2007 Halloween contest. And for the wintersday contests.
Also given out for the championship in 2006 ( https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/GuildWars…Archives/200604 see Apr 14th, 2006).
(did a search for skill pin on the wiki and got these and a bunch more).
They are out there, though the people who got them might not want to part with them. Just thought you might like to get an idea of when and how they were given out.
