2016 Droid Factory R5-M4 (May the 4th)
« on: April 29, 2016, 11:05 AM »
Rumors flying all over the place that another exclusive droid on the way for next Wednesday. That mystery yellow and black r5 unit that appeared a few weeks ago now being rumored to be a May 4th exclusive. Has anyone else heard anything more solid than a rumor?

Yak says this is the exclusive and Jayson's pretty on target with Disney reveals.  I'd take that as more than a rumor.   ;)

That's what I've heard. What are the chances of this thing ending up on the Disney store parks app or an actual Disney store?

Slim to none?  All their Astromechs have been park exclusives thus far. There are a few guys on here that regularly help people out with the exclusives though if you're concerned about getting one.

I've been lucky enough to have Paul help me out a few times now. But I do remember both the holo r2 and Christmas droid on Shop Disney Parks App, however much later than the intial release.

Seeing as I am at Disney right now, this thread could/should be one of the first to know.

I plan on heading over to Hollywood Studios first thing Wednesday morning...

So far the only thing they've announced is the Rogue One tshirts that benefit Force for Change.... I agree, hopefully some time tomorrow, we'll have a better idea what's in store.

Hmmm, that's interesting. :)

And that's posted to the front page...  Thanks indysolo, as that seems to solidify Jayson's epic soothsaying on this one. :P  Good call man.

Sooooo, anyone gonna be in Disneyland tomorrow by chance? :P

Pete's in WDW I believe...  hoping he scores something there.  DL seems to be the exclusive droid haven though.

Yeah me too. :P

I feel like there is some kind of "bat signal" for Paul Hruby we should have lol.

I'm hopeful Pete lands something since he's at DW and that's just smart timing for him.
