    Hello everybody !
    I'm from Belgium and one of my friend is going to Orlando on october.
    I wish to ask you some good adresses in Orlando to buy Star Wars stuff and, in particular, we are looking for the Plo Koon Deluxe mask...

    You can send here everything (postal address, mail, internet site,...)

    Thanks for your help !

    See you.

    I don't think there's anyplace around that sells the deluxe masks. You may have to get that on-line.

    From Belgium? Believe it or not, I was actually born in Brussels. My birth certificate is even in French (though I do have a certificate of birth abroad from the US Consulate Office). What a small world.

    I don't know about the mask issue, but if you go to Disney MGM Studios, they have an entire shop there dedicated to Star Wars stuff, "Tatooine Traders." Shirts, figures, key rings, pins, busts, hats, etc. It's not a huge store or anything, but they do have items that other places like Toys "R" Us and FAO do not have.

    Besides that, though, there really is no place that sells a vast array of Star Wars items. You can find the Hasbro figures everywhere, of course, but your best bet would be Tatooine Traders at Disney MGM Studios.

    Maybe someone else can provide more information or even another store that I can't think of.

    Hope this helped at least a little.

    The disney store at Down Town Disney is a good place and you wouldn't have to go to MGM.

    Other than that...maybe Sci Fi City on HW 50?

    Sci-Fi City is not a bad idea; I had completely forgotten about it. I have not been there in awhile, but it would be a good place to check into.

    The information is as follows:

    Sci-Fi City
    6006 East Colonial Dr.
    Orlando, FL 32807

    Their telephone number is: 407-282-2292.

    Is the Disney Store in Downtown Disney comparable to Tatooine Traders? There were some things at MGM I wanted to get but couldn't and I really don't want to buy a park ticket just to go spend more money shopping :p

    Sorry 'bout the thread hijack :)

    Q99213, I'm pretty sure you mean the Hasbro store at Downtown Disney called Once Upon a Toy. Just clarifying for those that might think it was like all the other Disney Stores, like in the malls.

    Once Upon a Toy is a product of Disney's relatively new relationship with Hasbro, after parting with long-time Hasbro-rival, Mattel. It sells only Hasbro and Hasbro-related products, so it's a good stop for the collector.

    I can find most of what I want in OUaT because I'm looking for 3¾" figures (like the Star Tours line) and the Playskool items, but you won't find t-shirts, key-rings, shot glasses, etc., that you can only get in Tatooine Traders. Oddly, you will find the Indiana Jones toys in OUaT that are not made by Hasbro (it's not listed, but most think these are Applause products) and are also sold at MGM.
