I snagged an R5 off of eBay the minute that episode aired. It cost me a little under $30 with shipping.
So, Hasbro will probably re-release it on a Mando card pretty soon for the low low price of $17 plus tax.
Ding ding ding, winner. R5-D4 on a TVC The Mandalorian card coming next spring -
Swamped at work so I cant get press pics up right now but confirmed by Hasbro today:
STAR WARS: THE VINTAGE COLLECTION R5-D4(HASBRO/Ages 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $16.99/Available: Spring 2024)
Fans can celebrate the legacy of STAR WARS, the action-and-adventure-packed space saga from a galaxy far, far away, with this premium 3.75-inch scale STAR WARS: THE VINTAGE COLLECTION R5-D4 figure. This R5-D4 action figure is inspired by the character’s appearance in season 3 of STAR WARS: MANDALORIAN live-action series on Disney+. A battered astromech droid, R5-D4 has had a long operational span bouncing around various owners on Tatooine for decades. Now, he resides in Docking 3-5 of Mos Eisley Spaceport in Peli Motto’s employ.
I *think* R5-D4 is the start of a new 2024 wave. I'll move this post if we find out he belongs in an earlier wave. Pre-order tomorrow, 1pm ET.
