What’s Happening:
- Star Wars fans of every faction have much to love about the franchise, especially on Star Wars Day. Disney Store has a wealth of new products for fans to acquire including a Star Tours StarSpeeder 1000 Vehicle Play Set.
- Earlier this week, Gizmodo shared an exclusive reveal for the Star Tours StarSpeeder 1000 Vehicle Play Set launching on Star Wars Day noting that this latest version is inspired by the play set that dropped last Fall.
- Miniature and playset iterations of the collectible have surfaced before at Disney Store and D23 events replicated to look like the ride vehicle from the Disney Parks Star Tours attraction. In 2024 as part of the D23 The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Disney released the StarSpeeder 3000 Vehicle Play Set sporting a classic white finish with blue stripes (image below).
- Now a large play set “1000" model—themed to Star Tours – The Adventures Continue (2011)—is headed to Disney Store with an orange exterior, blue seats (that will hold action figures!), and special effects including a screen that shows scenes from the ride.
- Gizmodo points out that while the StarSpeeder 3000 release had sound recordings in the voice of Captain Rex, StarSpeeder 1000 features C-3PO as the ride’s pilot, which is accurate to The Adventures Continue experience.
- This collectible comes with 3 ¾-inch figures of C-3PO and R2-D2 from the Droid Factory line positioned at the front of the vehicle facing into the cabin space. Fans can add up to twenty-five (25) 3 ¾-inch figures to the seats, securing them in place with elastic seatbelts (safety first!)
- The Star Tours StarSpeeder 1000 Vehicle Play Set will be available at Disney Store starting May 4 at 8 am PT and sells for $350.00.
