2024 Droid Factory Advent Calendar

[Ryan]

Mine got here today. Can't decide if I am going to open now (after reading Jeff's story) or wait until December. I probably will chance it and wait.

Looks like a today only "Toy Tuesday" sale will get you $25 off the Advent set - just $55 right now.

I wish I would have waited this one out and saved

Yeah, its so hard to tell what is going to happen with Disney droids.  Sometimes they sell out in a day only to never be seen again and then other times you can be patient and land a decent deal.

I too paid full price, but I guess I'd rather have this item then to have a hole in my collection where I'm always looking to fill but the secondary markets are nuts (pride droid).

I ended up deciding to open these gradually. Looks like the Gingerbread R2 is up first. It has been fun so far only pulling a piece out at a time, it takes me back to the TLC BAD days where you'd have to wait to assemble the droid until you found each figure at retail.

I just cracked mine open too, although I thought the order in which they gave you parts is odd, so I opened the first five or so bags that got me the whole droid.  Starting with a leg and some accessories worried me that I'd lose these somehow.  I guess I've got a few days before I can open my next droid.

Agree on the order, I would have thought the torsos would have been the first piece you should open for a new droid so that you could then plug in all the subsequent parts over the next few days. It seemed odd to start with the bar accessory.
