I was looking for an excuse to go look at the Disney Shop in Belfast. Looks like they'll give me my flying car.

I'll have to check my local Disney Store. Let's see if I'm lucky.

Good find.  8)

Also.. is would this be close to 28mm? perhaps closer to 25mm?

I think that's the only other suitable one at the moment, like a lot of diecast they might be made to fit a standard box, so the X wing, etc are likely more suitable for smaller scales.

If that really is a USB flash drive it may be woefully small...?

 :? possibly.. I may have gotten a little excited.

But it would be about the same size as a eureka SAS dirt bike.. It certainly wouldn't be movie scale.

A similar shape should not be hard to 3d print I would think.

I would whinge about the £4 shipping charge, but it'll cost more than that with parking etc to visit the shop... So I'll just buy it instead ;)

Thanks for the heads up!
So many projects..... so little time.......

That speeder looks great! I'd buy one in an instant if I didn't have a backlog of kitbashing vehicles/mechs to finish off.

Great find :)

Ok, just bought one on my local Disney Store. The nice part is that they are marked with their price in the UK/US/Europe. So I paid €12,90 (the equivalent to £7,95) and that's supposed to be the price across all their European stores.
