This is also available at the parks and popping up on eBay. No sign of it on the app yet. A little redundant but I still like the design.

Are these two from a film...

Yes. Here's a hint - it's the film that is prominently featured on the packaging... the one that just had all it's merchandise come out... :-X

Post by: Phrubruh on September 4, 2017, 10:22 AM: I wonder how many of these random droids we will see soon.
Title: Re: 2017 Droid Factory TLJ Astromech 2-Pk (R4-X2 & Y5-X2)
Post by: Jesse James on September 6, 2017, 11:22 PM: Yeah my list of what I'm behind on is pretty epic right now.

I need the new BB unit 4-pack, I need this 2-pack, I need the holiday droid. I need the R2-BOO17 and I've yet to get a protocol droid from the build-a-droid shops at the park. ::)

I'm very behind. Very.

Post by: Darby on September 25, 2017, 01:34 PM: Took over an hour, but ordered mine (with 25% off). Thanks Jeff!

Post by: Phrubruh on September 25, 2017, 03:19 PM: You would think Disney would have a fast, modern and working shopping app. That is their number one corporate priority to take money from you as fast as possible and they fail miserably. This thing feels like Hasbro Toy Shop.

Post by: Phrubruh on September 25, 2017, 03:50 PM: I could never get the 25% off to work. It kept timing out. The code is SDPINSTA25. Fortunately, the site takes Disney Gift Cards. I have a ton of those thanks to my Disney Visa card.

Post by: Nicklab on September 25, 2017, 10:57 PM: Thanks for the heads up! I was finally able to get the Shop Parks app to work and bought the BB droid 4-pack and the R4-X2 & Y5-X2 2-pack. I'm going to just get B-A-D's and Chopper while I'm at Disney.

Post by: Nicklab on October 4, 2017, 10:35 AM: I've been seeing reports of these arriving in poor condition. My 2-pack arrived yesterday along with the BB droid 4-pack, but they were both in pretty good condition.

Yeah, sounds like some are arriving damaged even though they were well-packed. Mine came with a bent-up card and a dented/squished bubble...

Post by: Jesse James on October 4, 2017, 05:43 PM: I'm picturing Disney employees giggling as they mangle the packaging then tossing it in the box.

Post by: Scockery on October 4, 2017, 09:17 PM: I'm picturing Donald Duck trying to pack it up then getting stuck to the tape and then doing sorts of nonsense to get free as he loses his temper, then crashes into a pile of MOC figures.

Post by: Dave on October 6, 2017, 02:51 PM: Got mine yesterday.

The outside box was crushed but the figure card/bubble were all in great shape. I ripped the packaging apart and put the figures on the shelf >:D
Title: Re: 2017 Droid Factory TLJ Astromech 2-Pk (R4-X2 & Y5-X2)
Post by: Phrubruh on October 6, 2017, 03:43 PM: Weird. Mine just showed up today completely covered in bubble wrap. Card was in mint condition therefore I instantly ripped it open. :-p
Title: Re: 2017 Droid Factory TLJ Astromech 2-Pk (R4-X2 & Y5-X2)
Post by: Nicklab on October 6, 2017, 04:51 PM: Mine had something like tissue paper around the astromech figure 2-pack, and more around the BB unit 4-pack. The cardback was flush against the 4-pack and in good shape.

It would be nice if that was the standard for packing from Disney.

Post by: Jedi Idej on October 8, 2017, 08:31 PM: Mine arrived in a padded plastic envelope in about the same shape as Jeff's. As an opener I'm not particular about the packaging as long as the figures are ok, but I can't help but feel cheesed that's the best my $4.95 in shipping could muster. (Large accounts don't pay the same retail rate we Joe-Schmoe pay.)

Oh, well. Figure are decent. Wondering how much -- if any -- screen time they'll have.

Post by: Diddly on November 9, 2017, 04:29 PM: 25% off orders on the Disney Parks app until November 12 for anyone who hasn't picked this set up yet.

I still need it so I'm placing an order.

Post by: Nicklab on July 31, 2019, 02:56 PM: Like the Clone Wars droid 4-pack, this set is also landing at Disney Store outlets on clearance.

I didn't even realize there was such a thing as a Disney Outlet store. Looks like the closest Disney Outlet is 600 miles away. :'(

Whenever we go to WI Dells, I always try to stop into the outlet mall in Baraboo and check out the Disney Outlet there. Last time we were out there (two summers back) I picked up a couple of the 2016 Rogue One astromech 4-packs for cheap. Make a pit stop there on the way to your next Packers game! :P

They're not super-common. But on occasion you can find some interesting things there.

Post by: Jesse James on September 10, 2019, 01:10 AM: Stopped by the one in Cincy this last weekend on our way home and scored the TFA droid 2-packs for $7.50 each. I got 3 because I’m dumb.
