Title: 2015 Droid Factory The Force Awakens Astromech 4-Pack
Post by: Phrubruh on September 4, 2015, 03:44 PM
Do I need to make park runs for these?

This set includes 4 build-a-droid astromechs: R0-4LO, R2-Q2,  R4-M9 and R5-X3 all of which are said to be from The Force Awakens.

Hmmm...  some of them are definitely not new designs - R2-Q2 (http://www.rebelscum.com/TSCastroS1.asp) was in one of the EE packs; R4-M9 (http://www.rebelscum.com/POTJr4m9.asp) was in the POTJ line.

Both of those droids were in the OT.  They could also be in TFA I guess... but half the box being remakes makes it a little less special to me. :(

These can be found outside the park at world of Disney for $29.95. They are the current droid factory builders you do in the park. The r4 is darker black than the green used in potj version. The gray one is identical to the build a droid version.

I'd be interested in buying a set if you do end up making a run, Phurby.  Thanks!  :)

Thanks Phrub.  If there are multiple going to MN let us know and we can do a group shipment again.

It's just you and Jeff right now. You guys could split the $12 shipping if you want. I haven't heard from Jayson or JediMoses yet.

I'm willing to split the shipping if Justin is. :)

Thanks, Paul! Love me some generic astromechs, and I don't have any of the Disney BADs, so this was a no brainer.

Well if you want me to build a certain droid for you let me know.

Post by: Rob on September 13, 2015, 09:04 PM
Okay, can anyone help me figure out where to put these on my shelves?

R2-Q2 was Biggs' droid, so he'll go next to the other version of that.
R4-M9 is the Imperial OT droid, I'll put him next to the POTJ version.

R0-4L0 and R5-X3... what are those?

I can find a reference to R5-X3 through Google and he's mentioned as part of a Force Awakens card game.  Does that mean he's from the new film?

Or are the other two just made up droids?
Title: Re: The Force Awakens Droid Factory set at Disneyland

R5-X2 was Jabba's gambling droid but this droid R5-X3 looks exactly like him. There was a japanese rc version of him.

Yeah, I've got R5-X2...

I'm assuming that R5-X3 is supposed to be a different droid even if he looks the same though?
Title: Re: The Force Awakens Droid Factory set at Disneyland
Post by: Phrubruh on September 15, 2015, 08:51 PM
I'm glad everybody likes them. Let me know if I should buy other stuff or more build a droids. I believe wave three will be available soon. Disney parks have other stuff too.

He's in TFA (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10205443158023770&set=gm.1654152844822648&type=3&permPage=1)

Hmmm, thought the new X-Wings had BB8 type droids in the socket... not full size astromechs?
Title: Re: The Force Awakens Droid Factory set at Disneyland
Post by: Rob on January 23, 2016, 05:43 PM
BUMP.

Anyone figured out where R0-4LO came from? 

I still have no idea where this guy belongs on the shelf.
Title: Re: The Force Awakens Droid Factory set at Disneyland
Post by: Jayson on January 24, 2016, 12:24 AM
I believe that R0-4LO is Jessica Pava's (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jessika_Pava) astromech.
Title: Re: The Force Awakens Droid Factory set at Disneyland
Post by: Matt_Fury on January 24, 2016, 01:38 AM
Right between R0-4LN and R0-4LP?

I don't have any reason to doubt you on this, you always know what you're talking about - but I'm curious as to what you're basing that on?

From what you're saying, both R5-X3 and R0-4LO go with the TFA  figures... that's where I'll put them.

I think it was confirmed that, just like the box claimed, ALL four of these droids were spotted in the movie in the Resistance Base scenes.  Either paired up with X-Wing/Pilots or on the ground with crew prepping the ships.

Post by: Rob on January 24, 2016, 02:33 PM
Ah, okay.  I knew that it was called a TFA set, but given that 2 (arguably 3) of them were in the OT by name, I figured it was just Disney / Hasbro being sloppy.

I guess I'll just go move all of them to the TFA shelf.

Thanks Jeff, Jayson.
Title: Re: The Force Awakens Droid Factory set at Disneyland
Post by: Jayson on January 24, 2016, 08:04 PM
In actuality, he packaging for the TFA set is incorrect in identifying the droid "names". It was produced prior to TFA release and subsequent "official material". R4-M9 is actually M9-G8 for example.

Update: R2-X3 is now named RP-GO
Title: Re: The Force Awakens Droid Factory set at Disneyland
Post by: Rob on January 24, 2016, 08:41 PM
Even better.

Thanks for clearing all that up.

It took me my third viewing to find R5X3 and by then I had to dig him out of my TPM box to re-locate him.
Title: Re: The Force Awakens Droid Factory set at Disneyland
Post by: Jesse James on February 11, 2016, 06:34 PM
Technically he's still Jabba's gambling droid too. :)

I want a 2nd of the set, actually, for that purpose.  I'll figure something out with part swapping with other BAD's then.
