For those that have been to Disneyland Resort Paris might already know the quote used in the amazing Cinemagique attraction in the Walt Disney Studios. Now Walt Disney World guest who will be going during the Star Wars Weekends at the Disney Hollywood Studios will be able to wear the quote when they buy the T-Shirt. The T-Shirt will not be related to the Paris ride, but will portray Mickey in a Stormtrooper outfit and Minnie popping the question. This is only one example of the great merchandise Disney and Star Wars fans will see during the Star Wars weekends. Yet again, like every year, collectors will love all the goodies offered during this yearly event.

Read on to find a list of all the collectibles for this years Star Wars Weekends.

Imagine you could own a piece of Disney animated art for only a couple of dollars! This was the case back in the 1960 when fans could buy the art in Disneyland for only a couple of dollars. Today this original art would make more into the region on $20.000 to $30.000.

Nearly 5 decades ago Disney shipped some of its 1959 animated movie Sleeping Beauty artwork to Japan. It was presented to the public at Mitsukoshi Department Store and toured to another16 stores after that. Once the exhibition finished the artwork stayed in Japan, locked away for most of the time, an “almost” forgotten treasure.

Would you like to own a Disney hotel? How about the Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club resort? It is possible!

Well, maybe not the real deal, but you can get your hands on the original 1/32″ Scale Model Prop used to present the resort in full details before building it at Walt Disney World.

The model looks amazing with stunning details and beautifully presented. A unique one of a kind Disney collectible. Starting bid is $49.999 and comes with a trip to Walt Disney world (staying at the big version of the offered resort) to see the model at the Mousesurplus warehouse before it gets shipped to you anywhere in the US.

Life for some of us can be just work, and for others can be just play! If you are a Disney fan (and I have the feeling that if you are reading this you are  you will probably find yourself spending much of your hard owned cash on Disney. Things like Disney trips, books, movies, DVD’s, that absolutely necessary winnie the pooh honey flavoured toothpaste for your kid  (yes right “kid” now put it down and so on to infinity and beyond.

Yet for some people on this planet life can actually be hard, that might not have the chance to ever see a Disney themepark, nor a movie…actually some kids on this planet might not even have the chance for a regular meal everyday! Well Disneyland Resort Paris has actually done something really deserving praise; they have created a charity auction over on ebay where people (like me and you folks) and actually bid on some very fancy, and dremish, pieces of haut couture.

Today WizKids announces that they signed a deal with Disney to create a “Pirates of the Caribbean” PocketModel Game. I love the games of Wizkids and have been playing their Marvel HeroClix, DC Heroclix and HorrorClix games since the beginning. (For those knowing the game; I own both the Galactus and the Phoenix figures.)

The also created the game Pirates; a game where players can battle it out using construct 3-D pirate ships from pieces punched out of a styrene card. (WizKids) This however is a game I haven’t played yet, although it did look intriguing.

It’s that time of year again (almost): The San Diego Comic Con (From July 26 to 29).

I have had the opportunity to visit this awesome convention in the past and have been dreaming of a return ever since. Unfortunately it will not be this year (but there is always a chance for another year)

For those (Disney fans) going to visit the event; here are some highlights you really should not miss:

Flying into Orlando airport visitors will not miss the awesome posters inviting them to come and visit the Star Wars Weekends between 1 June and 24 June at the Disney-MGM studios in Walt Disney World. You’ll get to see pictures from Yoda lifting baggage, Darth Vader taking of his shoes, Darth Maul helping airplanes to land using Lightsabers, Tie Fighters docked at the gates and my favorite; Boba Fett bringing in Han Solo in Carbonite. I wonder if he had to pay more for the extra weight…

This is a real gem for Walt Disney memorabilia collectors. Ebay is selling one of Disney’s Passports from 1965.

Walt Disney Passport. Disney autographs are rare and hugely desirable, and this one comes in truly amazing form. This United States passport is dated August 19, 1965, and was issued to the legendary animator shortly after the giant success of Mary Poppins (1964) and 16 months before his death (December 15, 1966). Disney signed the passport twice in blue ink (as “Walter E. Disney”), including once along the edge of his smiling photo. It bears only one set of visa stamps, for a trip to and from London… (From Ebay)

Be aware that this is a live auction, bidding will take place on 14 April 11:00 PDT and start at $3,600. However I expect his to go way over this. (Estimate US $14,400.00 - US $21,600.00) Good luck to all the collectors out there.

My son wanted to watch a movie he hadn’t seen before. I checked in my movie collection and came across a video (yes, video, not DVD… it is that old) of a Disney production from 1981 called “Condorman”. While it has been a while since I last seen it I thought it would be a good idea to share this one with my son.

A comic book writer turning his creation, “Condorman” into a real life spy trying to win the heart of a beautiful Soviet spy (played by Barbara Carrera). Sounds cheesy? That’s because it is.

I had forgotten how bad this production was. It should be avoided at all cost. We only get to see 1 car chase and one boat chase with Condorman “gear” and one failed and one successful flying attempt of Condorman. The rest of the movie is filled with silly and bad jokes and way too much talking.

I looked at the movie and I am a little ashamed admitting that, when a kid, I was looking forwards to see this movie, but I am even more ashamed that I own the video now… (For those that might like the movie; I’m only Goofing around)

Would you like to own some real Disney history? How about the “Disney actual Monorail RED MARK IV Complete Front Cabin”? The Monorail cabin is being offered on Ebay at this time by MouseSurplusKingdom.

The monorail cabin on sale was in use at Walt Disney World from 1970 to 1999.

Only 6 days of bidding left… Good luck

When I hear “Jakks Pacific” I think about the World Wrestling Entertainment Toys they make. When you check their website you can also find toys for Dragon Ball Z and the new Rocky action figures; Toys for boys (or action figure geeks like me). So it was a surprise when I read the article that they signed a deal with Disney to create Hannah Montana and the Cheetah Girls toys.

Among the products that will be offered in the line will be fashion dolls, play sets, role play and dress up items. The line will play up the fashion and music themes inherent to the characters and their programs. (Washington Bizjournal)

Sao Feng will be my favorite Pirates of the Caribbean character. I know, I haven’t seen the movie yet, but being a big Chow Yun Fat fan (from way back during his Hong Kong movies fame) I can’t help it. So while I try to follow all the stories around his character I was also anxiously awaiting any news for a Sao Feng action figure. It was obvious to me that he would be part of a “Pirates of the Caribbean; At Worlds Ends” Action figure series (together with Jack Sparrow and the rest of the cast). Now, during the Toy Fair in New York (I was lucky enough to have been able to visit this fair in the past) the new Pirates figure where being shown to dealers from around the world.

If you love both Walt Disney World and Star Wars then the Star Wars Weekends might be something you don’t (or don’t want to) miss. Last year you could get 1 of a limited series of 600 Mickey Jedi Figure (before they re-released a non limited version). This year, after the success from last year, they will even have 4 new figures.

Each figure is again limited to 600. The four figures are X-Wing Fighter Pilot Mickey, Princess Minnie, Stormtrooper Donald, and Darth Goofy.

The figures are chosen in celebration and to honor the 30th anniversary of the very first movie…

“We wanted to create something special for our guests visiting during Star Wars Weekends to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of A New Hope,” says Disney Arts & Collectibles Product Developer Aaron Babcock. “Last year, we debuted the Jedi Mickey Mouse piece, selling the 600 specially-stamped big figures in just a matter of hours. So this year we wanted to do the Disney characters as characters from the first film.” (StarWars.com)

The figures look awesome, especially Goofy is my favorite of the four. You want one? Make sure to be among the first at the shop as they will sell out within hours again.

If you got $50.000 and are looking for a car how about a 2002 Monte Carlo Monster Inc. car?

You have to be fast in making the decision though as the auction is only for another 12 hours before it ends. No bids have been made yet for this Pixar decorated car.

To expensive? How about a car for $20.000?

Although I am not a huge Star Wars fan (I can just enjoy the movie, but am not the fan like I am a Disney fan), I do think I might make myself one of those “build your own” lightsabers to take home the next time I visit Walt Disney World.

The new “attraction’ can be found exclusively (for now) at the Once Upon a Toy Store at Downtown Disney. For sure many children (and dads) will have lots of fun putting these together.

$19,95 for the fun of making the toy and taking it home (batteries included) is a fair price. All you need to do is choose sides! Can you guess what side I am from?

The first time I entered the Disney Store on 5th avenue in New York I stayed for a good 4 hours. I loved the placed and could have bought half of the shop (if my wallet would have had allowed it).

If you’re a Disney Store fan, a Mickey fan or love the Fantasia movie maybe this item on Ebay might be the right thing for you. It is the display of sorcerer Mickey with the brooms as it was shown in the Disney Store on 5th Avenue. A real collector!s item that could be yours for $9250

It’s December, it holiday month!… and some decorations are already up. However, I must admit, these two are there all year round…

Now here is something I would like as me and my son, who is 7 at the time, will be starting to play guitar together as from next year august… (at least that is the plan at this time).

But there are more Disney guitars! Including Princesses (Via Broke Hoedown)
