We had some fun with messing around with our new Star Wars. This outfit was inspired by Star Wars IV: A New Hope.
“Uh, negative, negative. We have a, a reactor leak here, ah, now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak, very dangerous.”
The line outside of D-Street for the release of Star Wars. The line wraps all around the back of the Pretzel/Ice Cream/Bathroom building across from D-Street.
Update: 1/14/11 According to @EPCOTCENTERed the Creatures hat was accidentally sold in Disneyland back in October or November of 2010. (Confirmed)
1/13/11-We found these at D-Street Florida while waiting for Star Wars. $49.95 each. The top one is based on the Hidden 28 9″ and the bottom one is based on the Creatures 9″ 3″ set. Both sets will be out on January 21st at both D-Street locations.
Our friend Robert Ashburn of FloridaThrills.Net visited Downtown Disney on Wednesday and has some newsworthy photos to share with us from his trip:

We got word from the twitter friend (@keithkrebs) that Disney’s Vinylmation Villains 1 series may be out in some Disney Stores as early as Friday, January 14th. This comes only one week after the release of the Animation 1 series. Steven Miller told use when we interviewed him last year that they would be coming in January, but on January 4th, “The Buzz” had an image that said, “Spring 2011”. This weekend at the parks the Star Wars set comes out. Would they release two at the same time??
We shall keep you updated, but while you wait check out our regularly updated Villains Explained blog post for information.
Once we got over the excitement of the addition of Lightsabers to Luke and Vader’s Vinylmation figures, we missed the rocket pack on the back of Boba Fett. Well, the Disney Parks Blog released this turnaround photo today:
Are you wearing a costume for the release event? Make sure to bring some doubles for trading as we all sit outside D-Street Thursday night. And I can’t wait to talk to everybody in line about Vinylmation. Destination Vinylmation is around for fans of Vinylmation, so we welcome your input.
Nick and MC are battling for the chance to NOT stand in the line for Star Wars Vinylmation. Both hosts took pictures of the Animation 1 set and have submitted them for your judgment. The loser has to stand in line on Thursday night to pick up both people’s Star Wars set, the winner gets to run around and maybe even catch a movie!
