Does the color scheme have some Disney significance that I’m missing?  It feels random for a big anniversary…

Much like the DL 60th and WDW 50th figures they did, it's just a made-up color scheme that kinda sorta ties into the colors on the event logo - the blue, purple, yellow are supposed to match up to the sparkle colors...

These have shown up on eBay.  I decided to overpay to be safe.  They currently can be bought for about $30.

Great idea, and its not really overpaying when that is only a few dollars more than you would pay if they were available on Shop Disney.  I just paid $27+ for the latest pride droid, so $32 (with tax) is worth the peace of mind.

It sure feels like overpaying for what should be a $12 toy. :)

But point taken.
