No details yet that I've seen other than it's a Star Wars Weekends exclusive so it'll be sold starting with SWW this summer.

I am going to be at the final Star Wars Weekends weekend - so I will try to pick up as many as I can and just have WDW ship 'em home for me...

Would someone be kind enough to post the upc or any number from the receipt when they buy one. I am going to see if I can buy one from the disney merchandise call in number. They said as long as it is an assembled product it is purchasable.
Thanks!

Since it's carded and assembled when you buy it, my guess would be "yes" - so hopefully they will still have them in stock when I'm there mid-June - if no one else has posted the UPC, I will when I get back from the trip...

This looks like an impressive figure. It's shocking to think there has never been a holo r2. I'd want a holo 3p0 next.

The holo r2 is supposed to hit this weekend right?

Looks like there are plenty of Holo R2s on hand for today's "Galactic Gathering (http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/03/join-galactic-gathering-for-star-wars-weekends-2015-at-disneys-hollywood-studios-on-may-14/)" (a Star Wars Weekends preview event).

That's at DisneyWORLD right?  I thought someone posted these would only be available at DisneyLAND? 

I'm so totally confused about what I'm going to find at DW in a few weeks.

And iirc on at least r2d60 didn't they say it'd be either available at both parks or online at CA?

Tried calling the merchandise hotline and they said r2 could not be ordered at this time. Maybe after Star Wars weekends. Guess I'll have to gobto ebay and pay scalper prices.

I just grabbed on for 25 on eBay. I figure they are 13 plus tax and 10 bucks shipping on disney merchandise. I saved myself a headache and just bought one for a few bucks more

My sister just send me a holo R2. There is no UPC on it beyond

Figure does not glow or emit light.

By the way, this is nothing more than the regular build a droid body done in clear blue plastic. All the parts are interchangeable.
