Disney Jedi Mickey and R2-MK

A friend of mine recently went on a trip to Disney World in Florida. I asked him well at the park, if he could look for a Disney exclusive figure for me, R2-MK Astromech. Since I have a focus on 3 3/4 inch Astromechs, I felt that this would be a figure that I should have in my collection. It comes bundled with a Jedi Mickey as well, which is cool, but what I really wanted was that Astromech. Happily he was able to find the figure for me, and I can now add it to my collection

Star Wars Kubricks Series DX-3

Just recently Medicom released a new series of Star Wars Kubricks, DX3. This series is based of A New Hope, Tatooine planet. This series like the previous two deluxe series, allows you to build a additional piece out of the extra pieces shipped with each figure. The piece in this set was Luke’s Landspeeder. Some of the figures in this set have been released before, so to differentiate them, they are either come in a Kenner vintage styling, or they have different detailing on them. Probably my favorite figure in this set is the Garindan, since he is completely new. I am not sure how I really feel about this set on a whole and the DX series, as part of me feels they are going over the same figures they had in the past, but I like the nod to the past with the vintage representation on some. I will do a future podcast on these sets.

Hasbro 2011 Kmart Exclusive B-Wing

I recently went on a trip to Montana and Wyoming. On the trip I was able to find B-Wing at a Kmart in Helena MT. This had been a ship that I had long wanted, but really was never able to buy. I think for the most part, I had missed out in the past when they were in the stores. I never really wanted to buy one on the secondary market that was loose, since they were expensive. I was happy when I was able to find this, as even though mu Vacation was my primary reason for the trip, this was on my check list of things I wanted to accomplish. To come in the Vintage style packaging made it all the better. Now I need to find a B-Wing pilot to go with this .
