R2D2 Popcorn Buckets!

[Silvered]

I caved and went and got a mug yesterday at Backlot Express. So far, I've had a beer, diet root beer and now water out of it. I love it so much!

They're great! I'm trying to convince myself that I really ought to get a set, just in case I ever need them for guests.

what is the cost? cool looking stuff

[JTChief82]

Definitely need both!!! Hope they have them next weekend.

$15.50 for the popcorn bucket, and it comes filled with caramel corn.

$10.50 for the mug, which comes with a dessert item that varies by location - Starring Rolls has tiramisu and sugar-free strawberry parfait, Backlot Express and the ABC Commissary have the strawberry parfait and chocolate mousse, and Sci-Fi Dine-In has it with an ice cream sundae.

Definitely need both!!! Hope they have them next weekend.

Oh, they ought to - we're seeing them all over the place and in good numbers behind the counters.

....someone send me one filled with tiramasu! I did NOT know that. Must arrange for a hasty trip to WDW...

[nickalew]

wow, if only they were available at dLR. That is so amazingly awesome!

[MsDisneyFan]

That is so unbelievably cool!

My friend ended up getting me the mug when she went a couple of weeks ago. It is SO cool. My husband (who is the Star Wars geek in our family, not me ) didn't know I had her get us one and he thought it was the coolest thing ever!

Right? I love the mug! The only drawback is that I don't know if it's dishwasher safe - there was no info sticker!

I might have an extra popcorn bucket if anyone needs one.

Looks they made it out to CA, too.

We forgot to grab the mug each time we were near a place that had them. We got the popcorn bucket though !

These are still available at Hollywood studios! We walked in and saw them at the first popcorn stand and snatched two of them up, but I haven't seen them at any of the other popcorn stands yet today.

My r2d2 popcorn bucket now resides on my office desk holding pens and such!

Update: I've now seen them at a few popcorn stands, so I think there's quite a few left

Yeah, it turns out they're not limited to Star Wars Weekends - they're to celebrate the relaunch of Star Tours. I'm sure they sold a bunch during SWW, but Disney has caught on that people love the novelty buckets, so they ought to have a healthy supply.

You must have some tall pens, Ghost Host!

[20thingamabobs]

Those are such cute buckets! THough I must say I would be partial to a C3PO one! Are/Were they only for SWW? Or did they keep them for promoting the new Star Tours?

[Billabongi]

Wow surprised to see these were still available in June, we got one of the popcorn buckets, don't remember seeing the mug. I thought it was hilarious and the popcorn held us over in our 2 hour wait in the store line

[Boggerbret]

These are there as of 5-1 to 5-12 I seen them all over the park, I really wanted one! But I spent most money of the the rest of them fam and after buying my first vinyl that took a back seat in my want list lol

[Tooie]

anyone know if they still have these? im going in the fall and really really really want one!

I didn't see them for sale (but I also wasn't looking), but I saw someone walking around carrying one this past weekend, so I assume they are still selling them (unless that person brought it from home?)

The mug/snack version is definitely still available, but I don't know if I saw the popcorn bucket.

Maybe that is what I saw then. I don't remember a mug handle on it, though - does the one you're talking about have a mug handle?

Not any more. They used to, but when they became more of an all-purpose thing, they lost the handles.

Ohhhh then that must be what I saw. How lame! I love my R2D2 mug with the handle
