You know very well that the Kool-aid has already been consumed in this household! :lol:
But yeah, that's the only one that I personally want. All the rest are for Mouseoholic. We have four of the little critters so far, and I made her promise that we would not get more than six. One of them has to be my R2-D2, by the way. So this is good news... sorta.... how am I going to get my paws on one without going back to the parks...?! Well, I guess maybe we'll have to go back... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
*singing* You've got a friend in me... You know if I get the chance I'll pick up an extra one for you M-Dude... Now how am I going to get it? It hasn't been announced if they will be sold at Disney Stores or not. Let's hope.

As far as the SW series goes, I like R2D2, the Stormtrooper, Boba Fett and Vader...we'd have to get the Stormtrooper for sure...hubby's fave

I love Yoda, but I'm not too thrilled with the VM... :?
I don't know which one is Boba Fett?!?! The R2D2 and Stormtrooper ones are cute though. Not planning on owning any of these Star Wars ones unless they come by way of being a present.

Boba Fett was a bounty hunter in the films, and had body armor attached to the uniform he wore. The particular part is actually his codpiece LOL! :wink: :lol: :mickey:

Just hope you can buy them as you see them, and not in windowless box and its "you get what you get and then have to trade".

And for you guys drinking the VM kool-aid, I just got an e-mail from Disney Store that new figures from the Disney Park Holiday series is now available on-line, all for the low price of about $240 :shock: :

Actually it is nice to see that they don't jack the price to buy the whole set.
Has anyone got any of the mystery figures? I'm curious to see what they look like. Are they super cool because they are rare or just meh...?

Lando is the only "human" character that I remotely like out of these VMs...the others look too strange for me

Sorry for the delay in this. Here are a couple of the "mystery" figures. You be the judge on if they are super cool.

I only have one chaser and that is because we cheated. My mom and I split a case of 24 on the Park 3 series and you are guaranteed a chaser in those 24 boxes. So, I have one, but it technically doesn't count as I didn't "find" it. :roll:
