Title: Build a Droid Coming Back?
Post by: Tamer on April 29, 2012, 08:03:12 AM

This was just posted by our friends at JTA!

"An array of Disney merchandise was on display Friday. Coming May 10, just before Star Wars Weekends, will be a Droid Factory at Tattooine Traders at Disney's Hollywood Studios. It's a build-your-own Astromech Droid activity resulting in 3-inch figures that fit into other playsets. "

This according to the Orlando Sentinel.

This was reported on one of the sites (I think Rebelscum but am not 100% sure) awhile back. Apparently it will utilize the various Astromech BAD parts and there will be 10 different color schemes available resulting in something like 50 possible different droids (not counting mixing and matching parts from different colorschemes).

R9 - blue head on blue body
R9 - green head on green body
R9 - green head on white body w/green markings

I got a full set of hats with extra Yoda caps.
