A few years ago I would have been all over this. Just can't get the interest going anymore.

Maybe I can work a trade with some one for ones of these. My son really wants to complete the Phantom crew with Sabine and Hera. I could use those two mission packs considering I'll never see them here. So if someone could hold one of each that would be great.

R2-D60 goes on sale May 21st at Disneyland Star Trader

Looks like he will be limited to five (5) per guest per day to start.  Should be more widely available (but still just at West Coast Disney shops) after the Diamond Celebration stuff wraps up this weekend...

The 21st Disneyland is only open until 6pm (DCA until 10). That makes it hard to get down there for about an hour after work. They are closing early because they are having a 24 hour party the next day. People will actually camp out all night to get in at 6am on friday for the 24 hour party. The place will be insane.

I will ditch work a couple of hours early to pick up this droid. According to Disney, the initial day will be limited to five per guest so maybe my daughter and I can pick up ten. If not, I will pick up more in the coming weeks after. I have not seen an official word from Disney that these are limited. If they are, this is going to be difficult.  If you haven't already, please IM me your request so I can keep track of them in one place. I think Jeff and Jesse are set.

Everyone else please IM me.

The Disney Parks Blog had a rep confirm in the comments that "R2-D60 will not be a limited edition".  Hopefully that hasn't changed.

Thanks again for the assist Paul!

That goes with what that cast member said. Hopefully they will be around for the next 18 months.

Thanks Paul!  If you want to ship all the MN stuff together to save on cost/time, I'm happy to front their cost and distribute at our next meeting.  Or cool with you sending mine with one of theirs - whatever works easiest for you.  Just sent you a PM.  I think Dave is still waiting on one though, so we could hold off until you can get more.  Do you have any other MN guys on your wait list?

I would take one. That being said if you have no other plans to pick more up just ignore me. But if you do and can just throw it in the MN box that'd be great. Thanks either way
