**Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

[yulilin3]

Long time WDW veteran here, but I've never done a SWW. If you could pick one weekend in May to do a SWW what weekend would that be?

If my prediction of SWW starting May 13th is correct I think that first weekend or weekend 2.

Maybe a random question, but I am clueless. My son just made his birthday list for his early Nov. birthday and it says "Disney Infinity Star Wars" - My question is - am I supposed to buy an entirely new Infinity starter set or will the game he already has (the Marvel version) work if I just buy him the Star Wars Infinity characters. I understand a lot of Star Wars stuff, but I understand nothing about how that Xbox works!

You'll need to get the Disney Infinity 3.0 set which has the current set of Star Wars figures. The Marvel set is part of Infinity 2.0 which will allow you to use all 1.0 figures too but NOT 3.0 figures.

In theory you really only need to buy the 3.0 game (you don't need another base) but the game doesn't appear to be sold separately and only comes with the starter packs for that level.

Looks like Star wars Launch Bay is coming along nicely.

Have to say, considering Star Wars land is years away and i believe this is temporary, im incredibly excited to try this out

Yup! You'll need something like this, and all your 2.0 guys will still work with the 3.0 game... http://www.disneystore.com/disney-i...k-for-xbox-360-30-edition/mp/1381994/1000261/

I've also preordered this bundle of characters (shipping end of Sep): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014TY2IUC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

Any change is exciting. I go there once a week to take pictures for my construction update on my blog and when I saw this I got excited, even the bathrooms exterior is gray
They also put a small poster (small compared to the huge Maleficent one they had) right across from One Man's Dream

Sorry if this is already here - but I had seen the huggable, talking characters at Target for 45 or 50 bucks. Almost got R2D2 for my daughter for her birthday but couldn't justify the cost. At Costco last night - $23!!! So I also got Yoda for my other daughter. Left Chewy behind

Question: did they release a 12 inch Rey action figure/doll, or just a 6 inch one? DD9 has already told me she NEEDS this...

ETA: I think I just answered my own question with this and I don't like the answer - no 12" Rey figure... http://io9.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-todays-coolest-new-star-wars-the-1728737448

I'm not sure but I really NEED the 6" elite one. Someone made this video showing the difference between the Black and Elite series

EDIT TO ADD: a quick google search shows that only Kylo and Stormtroopers come in 12"

I was just hoping that my Google search for some reason hadn't picked up the 12" Rey - wishful thinking! But if it's not on eBay at a ludicrous markup, it probably doesn't exist, right?!

ITA: the Elite looks cooler than the Black series... I'll have to keep my eyes peeled...

I'm calling the Disney Store every morning and I don't think I'm the only one

Just came across this article on WHERE TO FIND BB-8: http://blogs.denverpost.com/tech/20...e-star-wars-bb-8-droid-robot-by-sphero/18867/

Most I knew, but it mentioned Apple stores (not online) today. I called my local store and they said they had "plenty"!! I begged them to set some aside, but no luck. I'm heading there now... wish me luck!

I think you can download 3.0 digitally for about $30 through your platform's store (e.g. Nintendo eShop), but once you buy the play set, it comes out to be about the same cost-wise as the starter pack anyway.

For those who bought any of the 6" action figures, how articulated are they? DS8 wants Kylo Ren, but most of his SW figures aren't "wiggly" enough for him. I figured these new ones wouldn't be wiggly enough for him either, but are they articulated at all?

I now officially have received all three of my BB-8s. I thought someone on the thread needed one either this month or next for a birthday. If so, let me know. I'll give it to you at cost.

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

Exactly, @yulilin3 -- PERFECT!!!

Apple Store you say...

Must. Resist. Urge... to leave work early and spend money stupidly... (What am I saying... I pay for Disney trips... )
