http://rowm.com/news.php?cat=4&month=2012-02#art163Sunday 05-Feb-12 00:00:00 CST Disney's Starspeeder 1000 Jumps In Price to $69.95http://rowm.com/news.php?article_id=271Star Wars

Quietly, while everyone is distracted by the all the new product that was supposed to be released today, a certain hard to find exclusive is jumping in price. Disney's exclusive Starspeeder 1000 has been in short supply since its release this past fall at $54.95. But while it would seem to be good news that Disney has a new batch of these fantastic 3 3/4" scale vehicle/playsets on the way, the down side is that the item will now cost $69.95.

This Star Tours vehicle rivals any big Hasbro vehicle for bang for your buck, as it's loaded with lights and sounds, straight from the the ride. If you didn't act initially, you may want to pounce on it. And don't forget, you don't have to go to a Disney Park to buy one. You can order it over the phone (remember how that used to work?) by calling Disney Delivears at 1-877-560-6477. The shipping charges are reasonable. And on an item this large, it beats trying to fit it into your luggage or check it in as an extra item of baggage even if you were visiting a Disney park in person.

Someone at NBC's Today Show must love Star Wars. It was weird enough when the entire cast donned Star Wars costumes for Halloween a few years ago. And it's cringeworthy every time someone on the show called fourth hour co-host, Hoda Kotb, "Yoda" Kotb (which is also the costume they assigned her on that Halloween). But someone had the bright idea to have Carrie Fisher co-host the fourth hour this morning when Kathie Lee Gifford took a morning off. Carrie Fisher is funny and entertaining, but the whole thing is one of the most offbeat choices in morning network television in recent memory. You can find the whole hour, broken into several sections on the Today area of MSNBC.com .
