I saw this article basically saying that Disney spent $100M on production (which was discoverable due to the filming credits Disney got from Britain ansd Wales) and removing it from streaming allows them to write off the loss.

Saw this on the BBC:

The Royal Mint is releasing a series of coins to commerate the 40th anniversary of ROTJ. Sounds like they'll be minted in Wales specifically? Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taf. Anyone have any Welsh friends?

How about a TIE Defender? Though it would likely lead to some folks buying multiples, then again it might be harder to get the balance right from a value proposition perspective on a smaller ship.

Similar to The Ghost, The Twilight is another option that probably missed its timing from a supporting media point of view.

My Wife preordered one Migs, and we bought a 2nd at Target last week. One had the red arm band. 1st figure in a while that ive bought for the variant.

Just my take, but rereleases peak for figures you'd rebuy. So if you have Ahsoka, Weequay, or Starkiller, would you make a point of getting another? Tank Driver was my (losing) vote. Could go for the Tank Cmdr again too...

Great review Matt. I noticed the droid seems to pop out of his socket pretty easy too. Its a nicely done ship, hope these kind of things keep coming, and that they are available online (only get to go to Disney every few years).

Fyi, this is available on the ShopDisney store as of this afternoon (Friday 4/2). I think there is a code for free shipping as well.

Edit: "FREESHIP" is the sitewide free shipping code at ShopDisney (ends tonight).

Hey JM, I'm interested in what the psychologist was referring to. Was it SSI, which is means limited (ie, the family can earn too much)? Sounds like you are a few years ahead of us, so open to advice, even if it doesn't apply the same.

Its been a busy 12 years for my family. Oldest is fully mainstreamed, and really doing very well (probably falling under the radar too much) #2 is doing well, in a dedicated private school we are super lucky to live nearby. #2 has reasonable verbal skills, and is a smart kid, its about getting any of that out of his head. Struggling with learning self direction and daily living, but doing our best. But he puts up with Dad's nonsense, and correctly responds "Star Wars" whenever I ask him what I'm watching on tv.

Big props to all the folks who work in Special Ed, don't know how you don't burn out.

I found it in the big seasonal section of toys that had towards the front, along with a few other Star Wars toys (some Funkos, big Galactic Heores BB8 playset) was on the bottom shelf...

Happy Hunting

Our local (12205) ad DIDN'T show the tank, not sure why. But they had 5 or 6 on the shelf at $19.99. Bought one. Never saw any of the Cmdr. Figure.

Picked up Chopper at Target. Now to check I dont already have him...

Went to WDW this past week. The Build A Droid locations have moved in Hollywood Studios and  Disney Springs. Both had same collection of pieces, and frustratingly missing one or two components for different droids. Like body and legs for R3-S6 (Goldie), but no dome; so anyone have an extra?
Also had bodies and domes in a few white/blue combos, but no legs to match. I even flipped up the filler tops to look into the bins and asked cast members. Still a fun part of the trip.
