2015 Droid Factory R4-D23 (D23 Convention)
« on: April 16, 2015, 11:32 PM »
Droid Factory R4-D23 Astromech (blurry pic, sorry!)

No details yet that I've seen other than it will be sold as part of Disney's D23 convention this year...


edit:
Here's a better pic from Vinylmation

I'm wondering if it's worth going to D23 to pick up this figure. Are they going to be readily available or will there be a unfair ticket system for the privilege of buying it like Hasbro does at comiccon? D23 is pretty expensive and I really don't look forward to hanging around Disneyanna fan boys and soccer moms.

The figure will be sold in the "Dream Store" where they sell all the D23 show exclusives.  Sounds like there will possibly be a limit on how many they sell each day. 

Spending $67+ to go to the show and then stand in a long line hoping to get one probably isn't worth it just for the figure.

Took some patience, but I snagged an R4-D23 off ebay tonight for under $25 shipped.  Not terrible for a con exclusive that was $13 to start with...  :-\

I'm biding my time.  I'm not going to die if I don't get it, but I'd like one.

I did the same thing - $23.99 shipped and told the seller they could open it up first if they accepted my lower offer.

I got mine for $25 each shipped as well. Seller wanted more than $25, but since I was getting 4 of them was willing to come down on the price a bit...

I just bought one for $24 shipped probably from the same guy you guys did. I figure taking into account 20% in paypal and ebay fees and another $6-11 for shipping he isn't making too much money off of it. Heck he is probably losing money due to the free shipping.

He really is a nice droid. The color scheme really grew on me.
