Saw this on Yak Face this morning...

Also, does anyone know why every time I post an image these days it blows it way up so you have to scroll left and right to see the whole thing? It's a small image.

This is a really cool set that a lot of people will have interest in collecting I predict.

Very glad to see that gondola astromech... to bad we'll never get the lava gondola that he should be piloting!
Hope this set is easy to get on ShopDisney.

I contend that Gondola Droid and his boat should have been a Hasbro Deluxe set, he is even mostly repainted pieces.
I am excited to get him and the security R1 droid. The truck driving astromech is great, but we need the truck.
I will happily hunt this set. It is already showing up on eBay for $150. Still too steep for me.
-
This set is pretty awesome! It’s easy to pick out at least three of these droids and when they appear on The Mandalorian. I really hope this winds up on Shop Disney, too. The least expensive of the 2 listings I found on eBay was $79 plus shipping.

Agreed. You would think they could take the recent Tatooine Skiff and re-use a lot of those components to make a Nevarro gondola.

I saw it for $84 shipped today so I bit, $21 a droid and I won't sweat it any longer. Disney droids give me panic attacks, I still have that Rainbow droid in his package because of how all that went down. So it's like I don't have it.
-
Do we know what the price is going to be for this? If its like they're previous sets I'm assuming it'll be $35-40.

I appreciate someone other than me paying eBay prices so the rest of us can get it for normal pricing.

Maybe they’ll show up on this week’s Bring Home the Bounty?

Lol. My pleasure, I never bite early. I've been so sour on modern stuff lately, it's a pleasure to see something and say "hey neat, I want that!"
-
Like the other droid sets this is priced at $44.99. Re-sellers are asking double that price and seem to be including free shipping.
The info that I got was that they turned up at the Emporium in the Magic Kingdom. No word about showing up at Tatooine Traders yet. I'm hoping that they'll turn up on Shop Disney soon - especially since they offered the Holiday droids via Shop Disney, too.

Mine came in the mail over the weekend and I was excited to get home to some new droids. They’re pretty sweet. The new astromech domes are nice and have some modular design built into them for I’m guessing possible reuse later with different possible attachments or whatnot.
The security droid is kind of an army builder, and it’d be cool to have a couple, but the price obviously makes that a tough proposition.
The champion of the box is the boatman over the river styx. He’s def cool and would make a neat astromech with the right legs. He’s completely clean which doesn’t jive with my memory of him in the show but that’s ok. His joints needed heating to loosen some of them, however his main joints at the hip and shoulders are kinda on the loose side, and his heavy nature makes him topple easily. Once I got him posed right he holds ok but he def could fall with the slightest fart crosswise. His oar is I think similar or meant to be similar to or same as the weird staffs the Mustafar bug looking dudes had. Weird we got figures of them now that I think about that. Anyway the oar is way big though and a heavy accessory.
He makes me really long for the boat now, which given the stuff 3D dudes now I’m sure it exists or will shortly. 🤷♂️
Overall a fun set. Now I want the blind box droids. Hell, I love the boxes even.

A website I wasn’t familiar with called MDS collectibles has these for $46.99 plus shipping. It was $58 all in so I bit.
Now on to those mystery crates…

Thanks fellas, I bit on this one too. $59.11 total for me.
-
It breaks down to about $15 per figure. Not a bad price.
-
This set arrived yesterday so naturally, I made a review.
You can watch it here. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DqREx1uBiQ&t=1s)

Got mine the other day too. Still have it boxed, but overall looks to be a pretty nice set.
Great review Matt! Except for the part where you said you are moving to Florida. :(

The company I work for is expanding and if I don't move my family to Merritt Island I'll end up getting divorced! :D
-
And so close to Orlando!
-
My kids get a two week break in October so we went to Merritt Island to check it out. We fell in love with the place and the kids even saw the launch of the Lucy probe! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0T1oT2R0x4)
We did take a couple of trips to Orlando to go to Lego Land and a day at Disney Hollywood studios so we finally got to go on Rise of the Resistance (it wasn't open in 2019 when we went to Disneyland). I went to school at UCF for a while and it was fun to go back.

The way these sets are "hit or miss" when it comes to ShopDisney is so frustrating. I'm never sure if I should just grab one on ebay and be done or wait for ShopDisney to maybe get them posted someday.
I watched the price on these slowly creep up on ebay and still no sign of ShopDisney ever getting them, so I finally pulled the trigger on a set for about $63 with tax/shipping. Glad to have this set secured and en route, but frustrating that these continue to be such a crap shoot on whether they will come to ShopDisney or not.
-
I share in your frustration Jeff. Hopefully Rob gave us another way to get these types of figures with MDS Collectibles.
-
Totally agreed. Constantly having to flip a coin about whether I should overpay now to avoid REALLY overpaying later, or wait to get it at retail pricing is pretty obnoxious.

Looks like the Mando set is already sold out at MDS. I wonder how often they go to the park to stock up?
I finally got mine open tonight. I would have loved a clear stand for the security droid, rather than the silver one. And even though I never will likely display him this way, I wish they included two extra regular astromech legs for the barge droid. But all in all it's a nice set. I'm glad I was able to grab this one.
-
Got my Mando set and man, that MA-13 droid is way taller than I was thinking he'd be.
Also interesting that the new droid dome (N0-AH) seems to have some sort of panel in the side of his head that looks like it could be removable... wonder what that's for or where we will see this dome design again down the road?
-
I've been re-watching The Mandalorian and finally spotted NO-AH in "The Marshal" on the sandcrawler. After you mentioned the panel, I popped off the dome, Jeff. It looks like there might be a couple of different things that can be done with this particular dome - the possible panel on the side is one, and there might be a port for another manipulator / tool near the top of the dome as well. I'm just not sure what the plan is for either of those, but it looks like they're trying to keep their options open.

I guess we didn't have to wait long for our answer... looks like the new SK-620 has the new dome with a side antenna on his head. (https://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=25378.0)

That solves that, huh?
