Let's get this out of the way: it's $399.99. The revised The Legacy Collection Millennium Falcon is now the Galaxy's Edge Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run Vehicle. It's just different enough to make you mad, with unique deco and two radar dishes. The original 1977-style pizza dish is there, as is the rectangular sequel trilogy model. Dirt deco is unique, and it has different figures. Chewbacca, Hondo Ohnaka, and Porgs are included. Is it worth more than a 2x price increase over 13 years? Probably.
Since Disney parks aren't as open as they once were, you may have to go to the secondary market to get your BB Unit (Color-Changing Droids, Droid Factory Line Look). It's a good one - it's red when hot, black when cold, and opens in the middle. You can get it in a 4-pack with a Chopper C1 Droid, a R! droid, and an R2 unit. Read on!
Last year's Disney parks release RA-7 Protocol Droid (Color-Changing Droids, Droid Factory Line Look) can be yours - if you find it for sale online somewhere. The set is pretty good, but oddly this particular droid looks frosty when it's blue. The black coloring looks great. Read on!
Normally available at theme parks - but not so much right now - the R2 Astromech (Color-Changing Droids, Droid Factory Line Look) changes from red when he's cold to white when he's warm! Otherwise, it's basically the same as the build-a-figure R2-D2 molds you've seen over the last five years. Read on!
From the Disney parks, it's a R5-2JE (Droid Factory Line Look.) Disney's four pack of droids make up a good chunk of the 3 3/4-inch The Rise of Skywalker offering, so hey, go get one. Read on!
From the Disney parks, the blue R2-SHP (Droid Factory Line Look) looks like his R6 companion - but it's a cool colorway. I can't remember where this Resistance droid was in the movie, but it looks super cool - and after hundreds of astromechs, that's almost more important. Silver and black and some fake dirt cover the blue chassis with a glossy black eye and a lot of personality. Do you need it? No, but it's cool enough to buy if you see it at the right price. Read on!
He's tine and has a stand! D-O (Droid Factory Line Look) is a Disney parks item - not a Hasbro item - but it's scale to your Hasbro 3 3/4-inch figures. After Rise of Skywalker had multiple scales of figures, none of which contained all three of the core main heroes, it only makes sense that you had to go to another manufacturer for the decent main driver robot which, it turned out, was a pretty minor character. I like it. Read on!
Something old, something blue, this BB Unit (Color-Changing Droids, Droid Factory Line Look) has it all! White when warm and blue when cold, you can get your fingerprints all over this guy in a cold room. It's a fun play feature. Do you need it? No, but... you kind of do. Read on!
Check out 3PO (Color-Changing Droids, Droid Factory, Galaxy's Edge)! He goes from black to gold, and uses the build-a-droid molds you've come to love. A cold black droid turns gold in your hands, and it looks a little muddy if you hold it just right. It's cool. Read on!
Possibly Zorii Bliss' little pal, the BB-19H (Droid Factory Line Look) is one of the better holiday droid figures. With a clear red body and golden head, it's a Christmas Ornmanet Robot. If it's still available, go ahead and grab it before it disappears. Read on!
If you can't get enough of paying for parking and waiting in lines, Disney has a special treat for you. Its Orlando debut of Rise of the Resistance means new ride, new stuff, and new things to fill your suitcase. The info-tainment piece Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Attraction Merchandise Coming to Disney Parks on December 5 covers some of the shirts, pins, and other doodads - but the nifty vehicle and droid are probably the thing even us snooty, indoor fans will want.
The R4 Astromech (Color-Changing Droids, Droid Factory, Galaxy's Edge) is pretty amazing. When warm, it's a white and green R4 unit. When chilled, it's black. In between it looks like it's an oily, used mess - it's really impressive. Read on!
It's not really an exaggeration to say a lot of 3 3/4-inch figure products aren't being given any sort of announcement. This is especially true of many of the Disney theme park figures, like this one. I didn't know about this CZ Protocol Droid (Color-Changing Droids, Droid Factory, Galaxy's Edge) until it popped up on eBay and my pal Shannon got me its 4-pack, the other 4-pack, and a Droid Factory playset with the color-change droids on his next visit to Disneyland. (Thank you, Shannon!) The figure mold is nothing new, but the color-change paint is quite impressive. In warm temperatures, it's white, when it gets cold, it turns red. And it looks sort of like a crab leg if you touch it. Read on!
New this year - and probably gone soon - is this glow in the dark R5-BOO19 (Droid Factory Line Look). It's a black droid with white glow paint, so you'll want to get it if you missed the previous, now expensive glow astromech. Read on!
