That was pleasantly easy.  I hope Disney is learning how to do this…

Pride Droid came and went in one day?!  Good grief.

Got my order of these today - I find it strange that the other two items are sold out but this one is sticking around - I wonder if just ordered more of this than the other and they plan on this WDW 50th Anniversary droid being more available for the remainder of the 50th Anniversary celebration.

I found it interesting that this comes on a cardback similar to the exclusive Retro figures at Target and the Mando Carbonized Collection figures at Walmart.

I wonder if they used the same "carbonized" paint technique on this droid that they used on those figures, which is what gives the figure the "gold" shine. (something that the photos do not capture well)

I went on the Shop Disney app to see if any of the new droids announced at SWCA might be available yet.  Pleasantly surprised to see that this figure is still available.  So there might be some hope for the others.

Friends secured me one of these.  It’s a slick design so I’m happy to get it!
