Disney Mystery Crate Series 2

[Dave]

I’m having a hard time tracking these down on eBay for an affordable amount.

Are these shrink wrapped in the stores?  The ones I’ve purchased have the crates open but the droids are still sealed in blind bags.  The sellers are able to tell what is each blind bag so hopefully everything is fully sealed in the stores otherwise they’re probably just picking the expensive ones.

The ones Paul sent me had plastic wrap around the outside.  Sellers could be opening that in the stores to check the bags I suppose.

Agree.  I'm only after the Astromechs (don't care for the BB units Disney does; too big scale wise) and they seem to be running about $30 each.  Hard to justify $100 for three droids so I haven't pulled the trigger on S2 yet.

I hope they retire this blind-box, mystery crate stuff after this.  The crates are kind of a fun diorama piece but not something I feel the need to buy a bunch.

Totally agree.  They could keep the crate, but package it in a way that you know what droid you're getting, don't short pack any, and make them in large enough quantities that everyone can get them.

It sounds like these are just showing up in one spot in Disneyland.  Tell me how that makes any sense?

The 4 that I bought in that parks had the wrapping around the base of the crates.

I thought that MAYBE the size of the bag in the crate would give some indication if the droid was an astromech or a BB unit, but that wasn't a clear enough indicator.

As for WDW?  I only found the Mystery Crates in the Droid Depot shop inside Galaxy's Edge.  They weren't even in Tatooine Traders at the end of Star Tours, and that is one of the better shops in the parks.
