May The Fourth At The Disney Store!
5/1/2020 Disney May The 4th
Disney has sent out information regarding the May The 4th Star Wars Day celebration for 2020! They'll have some cool exclusive Star Wars merchandise again, including a Die Cast Probe Droid, several different pins, a mug and various The Empire Strikes Back themed products.
Of most interest to us Star Wars action figure collectors is of course the Probe Droid, which seems to be part of the Disney Die Cast Elite series, even though it's not specifically mentioned on the packaging. The droid will include the typical Die Cast Elite display stand however, and the price is in line with previous offerings at $27.99. The droid and the packaging looks outstanding!
Here is the official description from the press release:
