Though the holidays have depleted the initial stock of the fantastic Starspeeder 1000 Vehicle Playsets, a new batch of them have finally arrived at Disneyland. The adventures can finally continue in your own home but at a higher price than before. The new price for the highly detailed playset has gone up to $69.95 (from $54.95).
Disney Parks Blog updated with a preview of a mystery pin set that features a Star Tours pin.
“Our next stop – a new mystery pin set coming this summer to the Disneyland Resort. This limited release set contains 12 pins (plus a few chasers), and was designed by Disney Design Group artists Quynh Kimball and John Henselmeier (from Starspeeder 1000 Vehicle Playset fame). Product developer Jeanne Lewis told me that this collection “highlights favorite Disneyland attractions in license plate form.”“
Starting last weekend the Star Trader store in Disneyland began selling a few new items to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Star Tours. Supplies are limited so check with the store for availability.
Disney Parks Blog has updated with a announcement of a 25th Anniversary Tee-shirt:
“If you’re looking for a way to celebrate this galactic milestone, this is definitely the way to go. This shirt will be available in January 2012 at Star Trader in Tomorrowland at Disneyland park, so make sure you watch ArtofDisneyParks.com for release dates. The force is certainly strong with this one, so don’t miss out!“
