I'm not a fan of this years logo.

The poster art is nice, I don't like the Goofy beanie though. It looks quite...goofy! I agree about the logo.

Yeah...I doubt 'll be buying any of this merchandise. The poster is neat...but i've got much beter artwork to frame. The pins look nice, but i've never understood pin collecting. It's kinda like Nascar collectibles..the only thing that makes any of it valuable is the arbitrarily inflated retail price. They're a dime a dozen.

I am hoping to snag some Star Tours swag though...maybe they'll have some figs lying around.

Does anyone know which weekend you can get the Jabba and Leia Pin?

 

[darthskellington]

I don't think they've announced merchandise dates. I gather you want one?

 

[Yoda Man]

You can bet I do. For each weekend, two pins are realeased that you can only get on the three days of that weekend. I'm really hoping that Leia is available over Memorial Day

Found a few Star Wars pins here: http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/index

But these aren't the pins you're looking for.

A Mickey Statue!! Just noticed this one. Anyone got any info on it?? That TOTALLY rocks. I know a soon-to-be 4 year old who will kick daddy if he doesn't get her one.....well, okay, its not for her really, but yanno....I'll let her look at it sometimes

I *believe* that runs $150 and the lightsaber lights up. The first group have a stamp on the foot that says "Defend-ears of the Kingdom" or something like that.

 

[Darth Boru]

Oh....em, well, in that case maybe I'd better just look at the picture......a bit too pricey perhaps.

Found it again...

A noble order of protectors unified by their belief and observance of the Force, the Jedi hearken back to a more civilized, classical time in galactic history. Their order is ancient, spanning over a thousand generations. As the Galactic Republic throve and grew over the centuries, the Jedi came to serve it as guardians of peace and justice.

Mickey Mouse is proud to represent the order of the Jedi. His lightsaber glows blue as he prepares to join the Defend-Ears of the Kingdom. This sculpt also features a unique "Defend-Ears of The Kingdom" stamp on the bottom of Mickey's foot, only available on the first 600.
Title: "Defend-Ears of the Kingdom" -
Jedi Mickey
Retail: $150.00
