Disney 3.75" Scale First Order Short-Range Evacuation Vehicle Set

Can this thing be bought online anywhere other than eBay?

[Nicklab]

I bought one on eBay.  It retails for $75, IIRC.  The seller I found had it for $99, and after shipping it was $110.  The box was kind of beat up, but the vehicle and droid were in perfect condition.

Disney is on record that Galaxy's Edge merchandise will not be available outside the parks for "some time".

Of course, it could show up on ShopDisney randomly, but eBay (or harassing someone you know in CA or FL) is the only option for now.

You can do a quick search on Amazon for some items.

[Phrubruh]

True. There are some things for sale on Amazon and some third party sites.

[Matt_Fury]

Good point Paul....keep an eye out on who you are buying from.  Some of the prices are not worth it!

[Rob]

Thanks for the tips guys.

Last question for now... is this an accurate representation of the four droid variants?



I'm assuming it's right, and that the tan/orange one and red one are two different droids and not just poorly colored photographs of the same one...

[Nicklab]

Yes.  I've seen a total of 4 droid color schemes, and the images you posted are the same ones that I've seen before. 

The one I got has the yellow markings.  The gold/tan is kind of like the old POTJ R2-Q5 color scheme.  As for the red and blue versions?  Those seem to be unique to the droids on the ride and these sets.

Having seen a bunch of the in-ride footage?  Each of these droids seems to be at the head of the transports that make their way through the Rise of the Resistance ride.  And if Disney keeps at it with figures sourced from the ride?  It would be cool to get a Nien Nunb or Lt. Beq, too.

Wait. There's 4 variants?! Yikes.

[Rob]

Yep... this is going to cost $300 + Tax + Shipping - Whatever I can sell the extra vehicles for.

It's tough being a completist sometimes.

Got my first...  red.  It’s cool.  $75 easy.  Buying 4 for minor paint variances on only the droid?  That’s gonna be hard.

[Nicklab]

I'm definitely liking how well put together the escape vehicle is.  And given Disney's commitment to this?  I would like to see if they would make the Resistance transport, too, along with Lt. Beq.

[Jesse James]

Second that totally... the lights and sounds are well done, the hangar transport is worth $20 itself to me, and if I can I’m hoping I can make some kind of wall mount to harbor the 4 pods like they’re stacked and ready to blast off.  Figure a $10-$12 figure, a $20 ish transport thing... And the main attraction with light and sound and such is around $40...  to me it’s reasonable it just is gonna hurt on the droid pilots buying 4. 

Then again I’d rebuy the Starspeeder in light blue white and yellow probably because I’m dumb. 😑

Found a reliable reseller who frequents the Galaxy Edge shops.  He charges tax and a 20% mark-up for handling, packaging ect, but I don't mind paying a bit more and it ends up being less than Ebay.  I picked up the 6" 3-packs last week and am now getting the color change droid packs, the droid factory, Halloween BB-8, and one of these Evac sets.  $300 including shipping.  If anyone wants the contact, he can get pretty much anything in-stock at the park.  Just IM me for his info.
