Holy crap I need that BU4D droid. I could finally get rid of my cereal box one.

One of the Disney re-sellers has this set listed on eBay for $89.99 + shipping.  It would be nice to know the actual retail price on these new releases just to get a sense of what's a good deal and what's not.

BU-4D is going to be a draw for Sequel Trilogy fans. The one droid that has me wondering is the GNK droid.  Could this be a 4 legged version?  Because it looks like it goes pretty far back.

These droids are the ones that are in a corral outside of the Droid Depot.  I've got a picture of them and I can't get a good look at the GNK's legs, but it looks like a regular GNK.

I took a picture of my boys in front of these droids during our Disneyland trip last year.  The GNK only has two legs.

I need this set!
This is the way.

The first Droid Depot stuff was at Target... do we know if there's any hope of this, or the 4-LOM and other droid showing up at Target?

The target stuff was pretty much it’s own thing...  this stuff seems destined to be park exclusive which blows immensely.  Especially with them putting purchase limits and also reportedly stopping people from buying even on multiple trips.

Like Jesse said, the Target stuff was it's own thing.  These will be more like the Droid Depot "color change" droid 4-packs and the Droid Factory Playset.  Only at the parks. :(

Disney officially revealed these today in an online D23 panel presentation - check it out here.  They talk about this droid pack around the 31minute mark.   Not much news/info but a better look at the size of the set/box.

I’m having extreme droid anxiety over this.

Very extreme.

Also got this set in the mail over the weekend.  Really love the droids in here. 

The R1 is a different take than Hasbro's and stands out as a unique droid.  Really love the B-R72.  He's not quite the same deco as the droid from TFA, but with this body now sculpted maybe they will give us a B-U4D deco in the near future.  I really like the "big" variant to the power droid sculpt too.  Makes him stand out from the past gonks.

Between these droids, the Rise of Resistance set, and the SWGE Millennium Falcon, I'm starting to put together a nice little Batuu assortment. ;)
