ESB@30: 30 Collectibles, day 4

Today's selections are the Empire Strikes Back pins from Star Wars Weekends 2004 at Disney-MGM Studios (now called Disney's Hollywood Studios). Each retailed for $10.50 and were limited to 1000, available at the second of five Weekends devoted to Star Wars. Interestingly, this weekend began on May 21st, the anniversary The Empire Strikes Back's first release in 1980.

For the Dagobah pin, Yoda is a separate pin-on-pin and there is subtle mist cleverly colored into the background. For the Bespin pin the entire Vader is a pin-on-pin.

In addition to being sold individually they were also included in a Framed Set of 11 pins that included the 9 regular pins, the main logo pin for SWW 2004, and a bonus logo pin exclusive to the set. Star Wars Weekends have been around most years since 1997 and specific Weekends pins have been sold for them in 2000, 2001, and each year from 2003 to present. In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars, all of 2010's upcoming SWW pins will have an ESB theme.
