A couple days ago YakFace (https://yakfaceforums.com/main/2022/08/09/new-owk-droidfactory-set-revealed/) shared the news that a new Droid Factory 4 Pack was revealed by the Disney Store Japan! It includes 4 super-articulated droids from the latest Obi-Wan Kenobi TV Show!

Does this set make a single release in TVC obsolete? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Wish sets like these would come to regular retail, but sometimes they do. Man, I will have to have the new probe droid. Looks good.
And to be honest, I always like the figures on TVC Cardbacks. I wish the disney packs would have more vintage styled packaging for those of us that are carded collectors too. Guess they want it to be distinct to their park.

Shopdisney has an exclusive Build-A-Droid advent calendar:

I think all the droids are "Christmas themed" which means painted with stripes and stuff. It seems an odd choice to me, but apparently some folks like the holiday themed figures. Having no idea what might be in this calendar makes it a risk at $60+ to me, but then the surprise is part of the advent calendar experience. I think I'll stick to Palymobil ;D
-
Yeah, if these were regular droids ok, but that holiday themed stuff just has me going "P and U".

My order is on its way. Couldn't resist to pull the trigger at $29.99 for this set.

Do you think the price will drop even more? And were there any promos for May 4th that I missed? A friend of mine told me, they offered 10% discount.
I just wish they made the Droid Factory available in Europe, too. It's so much fun! I mean who doesn't like droids? Okay, except for Din Djarin...

Just looked at mine this morning. Its a good set.
-
Absolutely! I'm glad you got it already. The probe droid is my favorite, too! But I love all 4 of them. Shame it's the only way at the moment to get a 1-JAC in 3.75". And a pity that the Mandalorian themed 4-Pack above has sold out by now.
-
It would be cool to see them do a probe droid four pack.
-
Coming to the Disney parks (and hopefully to Shop Disney) on 1/29/24!
-
That's another great set! I just missed out the rainbow 6-pack this week! Wish I had ordered it for less than 10€ per astromech...I wish I'd pulled the trigger, but now it's not listed on ShopDisney anymore...

Thanks for the word, I got it on the front pages.

I got the new Droid Factory 4-Pack for 40€ each and am surprised about this relatively "low" MRSP by Di$ney's standards. By accident I found this set for 20% off when I randomly checked their website after a while. So now I got 2 sets at full price, still a great deal for 10 bucks each.
And now 2 more for 32€ each. Cannot get any better here in Europe.

Again, the box was well packed, the 4-Packs are all double boxed in a shipper. And the spider toy is broke like the first one. The sounds do work, but the crawling mechanism does not work at all. At least it was 50% off - so 14€. Imagine paying almost 30 bucks for this toy and it won't even work!

Also one of my buddies got this Astromech for me from the UK. It was sold there for 15 GBP and not available (anymore) here in Germany. So he got 4 and gave one to me for 20€.
It's such a nice design!
