I hope I can get this through my TRU!

I didn't even look at the picture, but I can imagine you're talking about the silver anniversary R2 right? I will camp out at my local TRU if I have to. I have a friend that works at a local store and I'll be hitting him up for a major favor so I can get my hands on one of these.

JMK, have you heard about the Disney Star Tours figures?

Say what?
Don't tell me you've got to go to Disney to get them!

They're going to be sold at Disney/MGM stores and at the theme parks in August. A few were mistakenly sold early and some have already made it to ebay. I don't know how many of these Disney/MGM stores there are or where they're at. There's a chance that the Fan Club may offer these. If they do, it's probably going to be another Toy Fair Vader situation where you have to keep trying until the server finally lets you through. I'll let you know if I hear anything. The figures are basically two droids that guide you through the ride. They're on grenn POTJ cards. Rumor has it they're going to make the Star Tours shuttle also.

The silver R2's are going to be interesting to say the least. I can easily see entire cases of these making their way out the back door of TRU's across the country. I hope you have some good luck.

As do I. Do you know who else is getting a 25th anniversary figure?

I had no idea that R2 was coming, so this has been a complete surprise. If I had to guess, I'd go with one of the major ANH characters; Luke, Han, Leia, or Ben. I would think that Luke would be the most obvious choice, but you never know.
