The right hand doesn't know what the left is doing!  ;)

It would be nice to get some coordination between the two, especially if we're going to get really deep dives on some of these characters. This is the second instance lately where Disney did a Hasbro droid at the same time (RO droid being the other) and in both cases, for me anyways, it negates some of the impetus to buy the Hasbro sets they're in.

Oh, well. Clone Wars droids!  ;D

This seems amazingly stupid that they would both release the same droid with such a wacky paint job.  They're different sculpts of the same droid with similar paint jobs.

Is it too hard to come up with a unique paint job, or coordinate between the handful of vendors that have their own exclusives?  Hard to tell if this is intentional, laziness, or just incompetence.

I'll end up buying the set for the other three, but its unnecessarily painful to have to re-buy this droid we already have.

I haven't seen hide or hair of this one yet. I wonder if it has been canceled.

I think it just hasn't been released yet.  All indications are pointing to the relatively near future tho.  Spring perhaps?

Hopefully in the next three weeks as I am headed down there in early March. Really want this and in person pick up would be ideal.

If I were to hazard a guess it's to put something new in the park around the time of Star Wars Celebration. I'm hoping they'll have them then when I'm there for the convention.

If they come out earlier, hopefully they'll end up on the Shop Disney Parks app just like the Rogue One set did, although, it was in plentiful supply even in December when I was there so a March release should still be around mid-April...

I agree, Pete.  I think it's a safe bet that they'll be released in time for Star Wars Celebration which is April 13th - 17th.  Disney is also holding a special Star Wars event in the Disney Hollywood Studios park called Star Wars Galactic Nights which will happen on April 14th. 

Coincidence?  Hmmm....

Ok, so we will see them in April and they won't be hard to get. Heck, you can still get the May the 4th droid.

Confirmed!

Love that they got the gun on R5-P8's head!

Love the R5 units!  Kind of puzzled by the repeat of Ziro the Hutt's bartender droid, though.

OH man...funny how a little thing like a gun on the dome can make you so happy!  ;D

That is just awesome. I am all over this set, maybe even two. Please and thank you!

Not sure if it's still in stock, but I managed to order this one today from the app.

I can't seem to find anything at all on the app. I even deleted it and downloaded it again but nada.  ???
