2024 Disney Star Tours Starspeeder 3000
Nicklab:
It sounds like this is going to be a little more complicated offering than initially thought. There's 3,000 of these, total? And for D23? THEN, on August 12th the remaining ones get released to the Disney Store online?
Something makes me think that this is an exclusive edition, and a more basic version might be coming to the Disney Parks. Because I cannot see Disney ONLY making 3000 of these in the course of their production run. It seems really out of character for them.
Rob:
Yeah I have no idea but there’s also chatter at Rebelscum that Jayson quoted someone who talked to a rep who said that even for online orders you’ll have to be a D23 member to order one after the event.
I’m actually considering a $100 membership just so I can be sure I get this, which seems absurd… but if it goes aftermarket only they’ll be a lot more than $300 + $100.
Nicklab:
That just seems completely unreasonable to me. I've wanted the Starspeeder for A LONG TIME. But spending $100 on a membership FOR A CHANCE at spending another $300 just seems like too much.
I'm taking my chances that a less intricate, non exclusive version will land in the Disney Parks in the event that this doesn't land in the Disney Store on 8/12.
Rob:
Yeah I'm probably not going to do that...
I'm actually more concerned about the figure than the vehicle. I don't really consider it canon, and with the invention of Haslab and Hasbro's realization they can sell $200 Slave I's, there are a lot of big vehicles taking up a lot of space right now.
I'd be smarter to roll the dice on getting one for retail and then just overpaying for the figure if I can't buy the ship the regular way.
Jedi Idej:
I have the 2nd version, and I'm content with it. This one looks a lot nicer. I would definitely have pulled the trigger if I didn't have a different rendition.
Update:
D'oh.The photo of the back of the box says the ship has an LCD screen. That just might've turned me.
