Feel free to start one in the trades area Ant, I know I'd look at it.  I have extra Disney and BAD pieces...  I know we have more collectors of these here than maybe some do.  A fortunate bunch. :)

Not sure if anyone else saw the behind the scenes that aired on Disney Friday evening but they had the yellow r6 droid in an X wing. I think it was in the first wave of these if I recall.

Does any one on here ever sell off any extra parts they may have available? I grabbed a Frankenstein looking droid off of ebay with a yellow r6 droid head but had white/purple legs and a white/black body. Any one want to sell me a yellow trimmed white body/legs?

There is also a White/Brown R6 dome as well. Any word on if there are new body parts too?

Yes sir. I really like the black/orange and purple.

That poor brown droid doesn't get a proper body.

I did get everything in the last round and I'm starting to not care as well. It's one thing when you release a slew of parts and then let them be your stock for 2+ years and it's an entirely different thing if you're going to trickle out new parts here and there (like the Santa Hat that just showed up in the hat bins one day and now these four new domes).

My hope is that these will be the last of the parts for a while. The black/orange R0 is a nice fit with the rest of what's been offered the purple R5 is also a good fit even if it's a bit too much like the red R5 from the TFA 4-pack. The updated White/Yellow R6 is "different enough to make you mad" but does fit nicely with the new white/yellow body released.

The new white/brown R6 dome however, that one is a real mystery to me. There really aren't any body parts that cleanly "go" with this dome. My thinking is that there are some new body parts coming at some point since we now have a second done highlight color that really doesn't correspond to any of the body parts.

Since there are also four new domes, I have to wonder if these were designs from a second (and aborted) TFA-themed 4 pack.

Here is an article/photo on cinemablend which those domes (aside from the black) are based

Many people have mentioned the exact same weathering on the yellow and brown domes. Seems like the yellow was over painted with brown. On another forum I saw someone mention that they saw Snap with the yellow droid in one scene but with the brown in a later scene.

I need the Black/Orange one for Poe as that is the droid he had during the battle on Takodana.

I built that black and orange one last night at Disneyland. It's a pretty good looking droid with that new head.

The brown and white R6 head is there too. I wish they had a brown body to go with it.
