2016 Droid Factory Rogue One Astromech 4-Pack
« on: September 28, 2016, 08:21 PM »
As revealed on the Disney Parks Blog today, a new Droid Factory set is being released on September 30. It's a 4-pack featuring droids from the movie: C2-B5, R2-BHD, R3-M2, and R5-SK1.



IIRC, Phruby isn't able to help us out with these anymore, so I guess it's time to download the Disney Parks app or wait for someone else to make a trip to Disneyland/world. :P

The last set was really enjoyable...  Good unique decos, and a good price in this day and age.  Wish you could buy all the Disney Droid pieces in packs of 4, actually.

Anyway, this one's as good...  Besides that R5 just basically being R5-D4, which kinda blows, I'm excited to pick this one up, and I'll find a use for R5 I'm sure.  Maybe he's the tan 2000's Ford Taurus of his generation of droid and everywhere.

I'm hoping this set will be easy to pick up too...  The last one was, but with Park stuff you never seem to know.

Looks like the last four pack is still available on the app, hopefully this one will be the same thing.

I think those Taurus' have bad motivators too.

You're telling me...  literally fixed a blown head gasket on one.  So yeah, in a way they do. :)

What is the backstory on these guys? Are they OT, PT, Clone Wars, etc?

They're all from Rogue One, so OT era. I want to say C2-B5 is an important character in the movie, but I've been avoiding spoilers and am too lazy to double check.

This is a very nice option if you don't want to plunk down $300 for the AT-ACT and the pack-in figures.  I also have to wonder if the back panels on this R5 unit will be red or white.

I'll probably go one last time next week. I wonder if these things will be available after tomorrow. They weren't there last night. The R2-BOO is still available at the Star Trader.

Put me down for one if you're able to find them next week, Paul! :)

Watch for a joke in the film. THAT IS R5-D4, not only that, he's the one that had the back up copy of the Death Star plans. (There's a convoluted reason he wound up on Tatooine.)

R2-D2 knew this and sabotaged him....to protect the secret or just a desire to hog all the glory.

That would be so convoluted and forced that I could totally see them doing it.
