Agreed.  A Haslab thing that was waves of figures at whatever amount Hasbro needed to make it happen would almost definitely reach funding goals if it was unique and interesting figures. 

I cannot imagine the level of bitching we'd see on social media over a $300 HasLab 12-carded figure set...  that'd be something to watch for sure.  They'd have to get the mix just right I think.

I agree with you guys.  Sure I'd buy a new TVC quality Snowtrooper since it's been many many years since the last release, but no way in hell I'm wasting "fan choice" poll votes on them.

I can't believe that we need a poll to tell Hasbro to make main characters like Luthen, Tech, Wrecker, Stranger; but here we are I guess. 

Got my tree droid and advent set from UPS today.  I really like this Droid.  Fun presentation with the dome shape and the colors and the little star on top.  These droids are such a great little sub-line to collect. 

Jayson is pretty good at monitoring Hasbro's port activity - he's posted that HasLab Dragonfly and HasLab Giant Man have started arriving, but nothing on The Ghost yet.

Steve Evans was teasing some things on his instagram so now folks are thinking we'll get a TVC/Ghost update at the 'yearly' Hasbro Pulse Premium 1027 event (on 10/27, assuming they do it again this year) or at the shared Hasbro panel at NYCC later this month.

The link isn’t working and I can’t find them.  Any chance it was listed in error?

Jayson said on Twitter that both items went to "Sold Out" on the site before the links stopped working.  Not sure if they went up before they were supposed to or if they did actually sell out. 

I was able to order both the advent set and the tree droid at about 7:30am CT.

Link is up at Disney Store -> https://www.disneystore.com/r4-tr3-star-wars-droid-factory-figure-417133255335.html

My #1 complaint about the "holiday" BB-units was that they were just boring repaints.  No fun little extra hat or scarf or mistletoe or anything like the astromechs get.  So glad that they finally gave this BB-unit repaint a little something extra this time. 

Also cool to see D-O, B2EMO, and the R1 get into the holiday spirit this time too.

From a Jayson/Yakface tweet:

New 2024 Christmas Tree Droid - R4-TR3.  Link is up on UK Disney site, will be on the US site "soon" (no idea when).
