Disney Build-A-Droid Parts Update
One of our followers on twitter has alerted us to some Build-A-Droid news out of the Big Mouse. He is on site and is reporting that Tatooine Traders is out of all Mickey hats and only have middle legs in green available. They are also out of both styles of R3 heads, silver blue R2 and purple or blue R4 head.
Word is that they are NOT expecting another shipment of parts before the final Star Wars Weekends.
Lastly, due to the B.A.D. part shortage, they are NO LONGER selling the $18.95 two-packs. Only the single for $11.95

Listen to this week’s show to find out about Amazon’s shipping methods, as well as in-depth reviews of these figures loose to gauge their articulation and how they look at 360 degrees!
Also on this week’s podcast, Marjorie and Arnie play your voicemails including a tale of a trip to the Skywalker Ranch, a deal on Star Wars popcorn poppers, and when toys from Five Below aren’t a bargain. All on this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast!
