2024 Disney Star Tours Starspeeder 3000

[Rob]

Yeah same.  I honestly don't care about the vehicle... but those figures I do need.  I am wondering if I'll be able to track them down without the vehicle, or if my best bet is to buy the whole thing then resell the speeder?

Can't justify $600+ for this...

[Rob]

One kind of fun thing about this little debacle... I think I found a figure I don't have and need to get:

I never knew the old Starspeeder came with a removable Rex.

[Nicklab]

OMFG.  People JUST BOUGHT THIS, and they're already flipping it for $700.

[Rob]

That's why they bought it!

That was an usual experience. Around 18 min after the site opened I finally finally got in. Got some weird “blocked” message when I clicked on the Starspeeder. Futzed around the site and eventually was able to click onto the starspeeder page, only to get a pop-up that it was sold out . After spending another 25 min looking for gifts, seeing the “blocked” message a couple of times, geting knocked off the site and having to re-queue, I went back to the Starspeeder, and again, got the “sold out” pop-up  multiple times after trying to add it to my cart. But then… added!

Maybe someone had it in their cart all that time and decided not to buy it? 

If only I put half  as much effort when I was in school that I put into this hobby…

I saw it up around 11:30 as low stock... out now.

[Rob]

It just let me put one in my cart but I can’t checkout.

[Rob]

Now it says out of stock again despite being in my cart.

Isn't this the smaller size Starspeeder 3000?  More like Lego mini-fig scale?

[Rob]

Oh damn, looking at it maybe you're right.  It does look very light on detail.  I need to look up the right sized one, maybe that's why I never bothered getting it.

[Matt_Fury]

I managed to pick one up using the app.  Looking forward to getting it on the shelf next to the escape pod from Rise of the Resistance.  Have a nice little Disney Ride shelf in the room.

[Rob]

Flashback to yesterday.  I have it in my cart again but am not able to checkout.

[Rob]

Does anyone know if the R2 from this set is something new or just a re-used R2 from earlier?  Trying to figure out my approach for tracking down RX-24 and R2 if needed, but I'm not 100% sure on that part of the equation. 

[Jeff]

Does anyone know if the R2 from this set is something new or just a re-used R2 from earlier?

Hard to say.  It is a basic R2-D2 using the Disney BAD parts (no wires on the feet).  I'm not quite sure if it's going to match up to something Disney has released before or not deco wise.


I was watching this review earlier and was a bit surprised at just how huge this thing is compared to the old StarSpeeeder 1000 version.  Watching this video makes me really bummed that I didn't snag one of these as this looks like a very cool and fun toy with the lights and LCD screen ride effects. 

Also very cool of Disney to include a loose RX Droid in the package so that you can leave the limited edition carded RX on the card and still have one to pilot your StarSpeeder.

Seeing the double-RX pack-in here makes me think that they could do a second run without the carded Rex.  That would give more people a chance to get this ship but still leave the uber-collectibility of the D23 version with the limited 3000 piece carded RX droid.

[Matt_Fury]

I think you’ll see a re-release of this without the carded Rex and possibly the light up stand.  This thing is too cool looking and too in demand for them to just make 3,000 of them.

According to my tracking number, mine will arrive at my house Friday afternoon.  I’m out of town for work and won’t get in until Friday night.  Also a friend in the UK shipped the one he got to my house as well…potentially, two of these things c=are going to show up at my house at the same time and I’m not going to be there to explain all this to my wife!
