After reading some posts about the Flippp 4 in 1, I bought one for my Amazing Spiderman. On some of the posts it was recommended to re-pin all the connectors. Where can I purchase all necessary parts? Thanks.

I'll 2nd GPE, here's the section for 0.156 edge connector pins and housings. You may want to purchase a pin extractor while you're at it, unless you plan on replacing housings too. When i re-did my edge connectors i went with new housings because it made it a lot easier than fussing with removing each pin from the housings in order to re-use them.
GPE is the place to go. And I agree with frunch, buy new housings. This will make the process a 1000 times more enjoyable.

You can reuse the housings. Some of the housings are getting very tough to find now.
With a little practice, removing the pins doesn't take long at all.
Normally, I take a photos of the connectors before I do any work, so I have something I can refer back to. Then I do one pin at a time to help ensure that nothing gets jumbled up.
