Disney Parks Droid Factory / Re: 2024 Disney Star Tours Starspeeder 3000

EDIT:  On Rebelscum they're speculating that this will just be left-over stock from D-23 and not actually a consistently carried in-stock item for the parks...

Seems like a lot of needless overhead to save an allotment specifically to ship across the country for the Florida Tatooine Traders store after already selling out at two other times but maybe that was the plan all along so FL Disney didn't feel left out of the buzz.

According to the DisneyParks Instagram page, the Star Speeder 3000 is coming to Disney Parks' Tatooine Traders store on September 13th (limit 2 per person). 

It isn't clear if this is more of the "limited to 3000" version or if this is a new/different edition for the parks...  wait and see I guess.

Latest word from Jayson is that these are now hitting the US ports - usually takes 4-6 weeks to go from the port arrival to shipping to customers so I guess we'll be seeing this one sooner than December.

I got a whole bunch of "coming next week" emails from Amazon...

HK87 v2 and Mae should be here later today, but now my Osha pre-order has the 'delayed, not yet shipped' status...

I'm going to need some help sorting out which versions of which of these figures go together in terms of mural and season 3 or 4 or whatever...

Sabine and Chopper fit with the figures from The Ghost - those are all the Season 3/4 looks from the mural. 

The non-HasLab Kanan and Zeb are the Season 1/2 looks.  That Ezra is like the TV interpretation of Rebels Season 4 Ezra I guess...

Hasbro is re-releasing this set for those who bought the HasLab Cantina but missed this set last year...

EE -> https://ee.toys/IFQWV6

whatever happened to the maybe-pipelined S1 outfit releases for all the main Rebels cast?

I think they only officially pipelined the S1 Kanan, S1 Zeb and lame not-a-hologram Ezra from the Ahsoka hologram message. 

At one of the fan Q&As somewhere, Hasbro said their goal was to get at least one version of each Rebels characters released outside the HasLab for those who couldn't afford the Ghost, which is why they did those three.  The others (Hera, Sabine, Chopper) had Ashoka releases already.

You could always open a new "free Checking" account at your bank to be your dedicated eBay deposit account, if you don't want your other info out there. Like a burner cellphone, but for banks!

I have a friend who does exactly this.  Opened a second 'free' checking account that he only uses for eBay, PayPal, Venmo, etc.  Then he can move money around between the two accounts as needed with his bank app.

Just noting that the EE "drop zone" tease for SW on 9/13 (Pulse Con day) includes "playset" in it's description...

So who is the “missing figure” from this wave? I read back through the previous pages and never saw a definitive answer on that.

At first there were rumors it was supposed to be Jude Law's character from Skeleton Crew.  Then, late July there were rumors it was K-2SO instead, but he ended up in the case with Mando/Thrawn/Ahsoka/etc.

Based on the cases that have hit Walmart, it looks like there is no other figure - it's now 2x HK Droid, 2x Dark Trooper, 2x Sol, 1x Mae, 1x Osha.

This wave started to hit Walmart stores on the East Coast this past weekend and overnight I got a whole bunch of "coming next week" emails from Amazon...

The Vintage Collection / Re: Shipping Experiences?

That's actually not too bad for EE.  Still more than Hasbro Pulse and Amazon.

I'm surprised that EE doesn't have some kind of Premium/Prime collector type membership to get free shipping since most of their competitors (Target, Walmart, Amazon, Pulse) all have something like that these days.

For a long time EE has held onto the "we have to charge more for shipping because of the mint product guarantee" but I guess they are finally having to relent a little bit on that to compete.

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2019 TVC Luke Skywalker's X-Wing Fighter
« on: September 3, 2024, 02:07 PM »
Straight up re-release?

Can't tell for sure until it's released how different it will actually be as far as paint/deco, but the box art in the solicitation is the same as the 2019 version (Item # is same too - E6137).


Also, since Hasbro's already told us that the 2025 promo is "Return to Tatooine", it got me thinking about this X-Wing.  R2 uses Luke's X-Wing to give Grogu a ride back to The Mandalorian in TBOBF (very literally a return to Tatooine). Now my brain is secretly hoping for a BOBF Tatooine Hangar Bay/Peli Motto set to go along with this X-Wing and Mando's N-1. :)
