Four of the biggest drone racing pilots in the world embarked on a journey to recreate one of their favorite movie scenes.... the iconic moment when Luke and Leia pursue scout troopers through the forest moon in a dangerous speeder bike chase from the 1983 film Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.

But his commercial work is only half the story.

Jakks Pacific's Disney Tsum Tsum Mini Stacking Figures Series 1

Jakks Pacific just released the Disney Tsum Tsum Mini Stacking Figures Series 1 in Target stores this month. These came out in time for Christmas. These are already flying off shelves and the price points on these is $4.99 for the 3-Pack and $14.99 for the 9-Pack. As with a lot of figures/toys in general there are going to be some paint issues. Obviously if you're buying these for kids then they could care less about the paint since they will be opening them up and playing with them. If you can't find them in stores now, we were told that they should be hitting other retailers starting next year. For the month of December, Target has the exclusive release on these.
