Fun New Star Wars Pool Inflatable Floats and Kites
I will definitely be heading to Target very soon to pick up one of these…
From starwars.com:
Fans looking to spend some time at the pool or park this summer can look forward to a great new selection of Star Wars inflatables and kites from Jakks Pacific now hitting store shelves!
Available at Target stores in the US and at Walmart Canada are four new inflatable starships and a Death Star beach ball (why has it taken 31 years to get one of these?!):
* Millennium Falcon and Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi Starfighter are over three feet long!
* X-wing and Anakin Skywalker’s Jedi Starfighter each measure over five feet long and include a direct-draw water cannon!
* The Artoo inflatable drink server won’t be available until next year, but we couldn’t resist sharing this one early!
I wasn’t totally convinced I was going to buy one of these pool floats until I read that the X-wing has a built-in water cannon. What could be more fun than blasting lizards on my pool screen enclosure with a mounted water cannon?
It’s disappointing to find out that the R2D2 drink server won’t be available until next year, but I suppose floating around on an X-wing is good enough in the meantime.

OMG…I am sooo getting these…yah I’m a geek
Seriously, can’t wait. Even IF I can only use my pool a couple of weeks out of the year in this sunless gray place…BRING IT ON!
We bought the x-wing at Target & my son loves it. We are holding our breath for the R2D2!!!
Do you mind if I as what state you live in? I am looking everywhere for these Star Wars pool toys but I’m in Arizona and at least as of today they do not carry them..
I live in Florida and all of the Target stores I’ve visited had plenty of Star Wars pool toys. The X-Wing was a bit hard to find but the Millennium Falcon inner-tube and a couple others are very common.
Does anybody know what the general price is on these? I can’t find them in local stores and was thinking of resorting to eBay if I can find reasonably priced auctions.
Does anyone know what is happening with the R2D2 inflatable drink holder that was supposed to be out in 2010? Did I miss it? Can’t even locate on Ebay!
Melanie – Great question. I had forgotten about that. I haven’t seen it anywhere either!
