My wife’s going tomorrow. I wish that there were more cool figural thingies to get. I hate the cross-over figurines, and I could care less about the racers.

if you notice the carrying case says it comes with 15 cars and 4 are exclusive and it looks like it carries 18

They said that the Darth Vader case comes with the 4 exclusive racers and appears to hold 15 total – but you’ll have to buy the other 11 separately.

I have a question regarding the Darth Vadar Racer Case. It mentions that it contains 15 racers. Does that mean 15 and the 4 exclusive? Also, in the photo there are 2 of the same racer, will it be one of each?

Ha! I’m super excited to be there again this year – I’ve been working as a Cast Member for Disney for a year, the whole year being at Studios. I was lucky enough to work Star Wars Weekends last year.

I love that they have a CM from Star Tours featured in the collector packs. Awesome!

Nice. great post.

I actually have a clean graphic of the poster art which I put with the celeb list here: http://www.stitchkingdom.com/2009/04/09/celebrities-for-star-wars-weekends-2009-announced/

unfortunately that’s the actual size of the image that I have right now.

Bob – Thanks for the corrections. I’ll note them in the post above.

Two points: I would guess that the Meet & Greet Captain Rex is the clone from the Clone Wars animated series, not the Star Tours’ droid pilot. And the “Ewok” figure in the collector packs is not an Ewok, but a Teek named, wait for it, “Teek.” He first appeared in the TV movie Ewoks: The Battle for Endor and also shows up the Star Tours safety video.

Too bad the Stormtrooper helmet bank doesn’t come with the Mickey ears!

Are the big figs going to be available for purchase online?

I’ll settle for the puzzles. I wish they would sell the Darth Vader Carrying case without the cars. I already have most of the cars included.

Thanks for the quick response Ricky. I really appreciate all the hard work you do for the magazine and the podcast.

The posters will be for sale in jigsaw puzzle form only. Surprisingly, they have no current plans to release them as actual posters.

Are the posters in the first image going to be for sale as well? I’ve always wanted the Muppet Star Wars poster.
