Disney 2012 Star Wars

Not surprisingly there was tons of Star Wars toys, clothes, props and memorabilia for sale. Before seeing anything we had to take a deep breath and relax otherwise we would have gone insane!




All of the Disney Star Wars exclusive figures!





Star Wars for her.


Real size suits!



There was so many awesome painting and art it was crazy!









Watto!



Walls and walls of action figures...

Disney 2012 Star Wars

Once inside the Star Tours we are treated to C3-PO, who not surprisingly argues with R2 about everything. There are lots of props while walking around.





"It's a trap!"



Seriously the quality of everything shown in here is amazing! I want to live in that room!




Getting closer to C3-PO who looks stunning by the way. Extremely shinny and detailed. Love it.




More droids...





Sadly we couldn't take any photos inside the ride but whoa! That was a killer 3D ride!

Disney 2012 Star Wars

After almost two years of wanting to go... Isaac and I took the ultimate vacation, Disney!

We had taken the plane two years ago but this was our very first time in Orlando Florida. During our trip we we're joined by fellow Troopers; Marielou and Melanie. Long days, longer line-up, extremely hot weather but a lot of expensive fun!!

Oh! It happened to be during a Star Wars weekend... coincidence?


"Oh, they've encased him in carbonite. He should be quite well protected. If he survived the freezing process, that is." ― C-3PO


New this year was this thing were you could get your face "carbonized" and place into a small 8" figures along with a photo for about $80 send to you some later time through mail.... no thanks! But seeing the carbonized Solo as one of the very first thing entering Hollywood Studios, I told myself "This is worth it alone!"


On the left, kids could learn the ways of the Jedi and later fight Darth Vader. Unfortunately, everyday there was about twenty millions kids in line under a sun that probably felt like the twin suns of Tatooine. Young Padawan Isaac didn't get his chance to beat the evil lord but it was seriously so hot outside that he told me "I don't care anymore!"


We decided to try the newly renovated Star Wars tour (not that we had tried it before).


While waiting in line, you walk under a what should be real size AT-AT! Amazing!


Isaac almost got crushed while taking a pose there, sneaky AT-AT driver.



And there is an Ewok village up there too! Very cool! I wonder if Wicket is there and could serve us a drink since we are starving...

Flea Market Hunting : Thundercats

We also got an old school Thundercats action figure, Tuska Warrior. Ok not the most exciting figure from that collection but still.

Tuska is a good guy and friend of the Thundercats. He originally came with a gun.


Some we are really looking for are Vultureman, Top Spinner, Snowman, Safari Joe, S-S-Slythe, Ratar-O, Ma-Mutt, Lynx-O, Hachiman, Cheetara and other!

Flea Market Hunting : TMNT

We got another TMNT action figure at the flea market, Walkabout the Kicking Kangroo from Down Under (as the original card said). Don't know anything about the character but at fifty cents we had to get it.

Flea Market Hunting : Ben 10

The last Ben 10 we got at the flea market during our last trip there was this huge and wicked cool version of Big Chill.

This 6" figure is from the DNA Alien Heroes collection and goes for around $55 online! Crazy considering all of these Ben 10 figures we've talked about in the last few days costed us only $6 in total!

Flea Market Hunting : Ben 10

We also got XLR8. The button on his back activates the water and propeller contained behind his transparent chest plate and features cool oozing DNA Slime bubbles. There are also wheels on his feet and tail. I have seen this action figure going for around $80 on Ebay and Amazon.

Flea Market Hunting : Ben 10

We got another Ben 10 action figure that Isaac already got but it was so cheap that we bought it. He will also take this one to his mom's.

Upchuck, he is a Gourmand (from the French word "gourmet," meaning "one who enjoys fine food" or "glutton") from the planet Peptos XI ("Peptos" being the Greek word for "cooked" or "digested"). Its a big and cool looking figure.
