went and returned a figure I didn't want to walmart & wound up finding the rest of the figures for r4j1 Anyone know where I can find bios for these build a figure droids ?... I knew going to walmart was going to wind up a bad idea :S So much for me saving up some $$ :S Think I'm just going to give the figures I don't want to pogos kids at least then I know they go to good use! I'm not going to make more than few bucks off em at the comic shop :S

I'm kind of bummed out

 

There are only 3 more astromechs coming out this year

hasbro will probably reveal more at sdcc. what r the 3 by the way? whistler, one in the battle of yavin bp, and what else? does wedges red 2 x-wing come with an astromech?

Check out the Walmart droid factory exclusives here:

forgot about the one that came with grievous in the walmart droid factory sets. will pick it up to complete the darktrooper. i still wonder if the astromech pictured in the back of wedge's red 2 x-wing is removable. interesting that they didnt say anything about it at toyfair.

[Action Figure Soundwave]

Oh Crap .... That's right , there is the one from Wedge's X Wing , and it is removable...... so there are actually 4 more Astromechs to still come out this year ..... and that X Wing will probably be 60 bucks.

[Wheeljack35]

 

 

It looks removable but its cheaper to get Grevious instead

[Action Figure Soundwave]

But no-one is sure if they are even Identical...... for all we know the one pictured with Grevious could look different when realeased....

 

Cause here's the photos from last years Slide Show , and if you look at Saesee Tin's astromech , it didn't quite turn out like that .

 

 

 

so who knows if they will look alike .

[Action Figure Soundwave]

Who here has finally gotten there hands on the Scramble on Yavin Battlepack ? I finally did .... and it now brings my astromechs up to 46...which includes the different enough colored R2-D2s but excluding the other different versions you know what I mean .

 

 

 

I hope that something just like the Scramble on Yavin pack comes out later in the future with the Transport and newly colored Astromech and a Pilot that's never been released before.

 

 

Astromechs , you got to love them .

[Wheeljack35]

Well remember there will be two more astromechs coming from Walmart

 

A freind of mine found me the Yavin pack and I will pick it up from him sunday

 

When I do get the Yavin pack I will be up to 41 astromechs

[Action Figure Soundwave]

Yeah I know , I hope that the Green one that comes with the Rebel Pilot doesn't look too close to green one from the Entertainment Earth Pack ..... and I hope that the Red one that comes with Grievious isn't too clone to the Redish Brown one ... you know what I mean ..... I hope that there are more Build A Droid ones . You know there's also the Target Exclusive Remote Astromechs .... I can finally get the Remote R5 that's red with a White head.... different enough from the one that comes in the Yavin

[Wheeljack35]

Yeah but those remote control ones aren't action figure sized

[Action Figure Soundwave]

They are pretty close .... if they are the same ones that are from Japan.... you know which ones i'm talking about ? I rhink they were made by Tomy in Japan

 

 

This one here ....they are slightly a little taller , but from a distance it blends in with the others ... like if I were to put it in a groupshot like I have above , and it being in the very back .... you wouldn't even know it's different..

I've seen several people with them in their collection.

[Wheeljack35]

I had assumed they were much bigger

[Action Figure Soundwave]

Scroll down this page and check out one of the guys pictures ..... and you'll see them .

Oh smack

 

WOW

 

I must get that red R5 unit

[Wheeljack35]

I got the Yavin set and i'm loving this astromech

[Action Figure Soundwave]

it is nice isn't it ...LOL I just wish they would focus more on designs like that , instead of the traditional White body.

[Wheeljack35]

I wouldn't mind seeing more R7 units coming out

 

Hell I would love to see the R6's

 

Too anybody who doesn't know the R6 units have the same head shape of an R5 but the "face" of an R2 unit

 

Imagine R2-D2 with the R5 shaped head and there you go

Thank You for posting those pictures

[Action Figure Soundwave]

Hey Wheeljack , just to let you know, incase you didn't , that those Target Exclusive Remote Astromechs are out already .

[Wheeljack35]

Yep my store has them but that price is outragous

[Action Figure Soundwave]

True , but it is a remote control figure..... I say atleast get the Red & White R5 ....that paint scheme hasn't been done other then on these remotes.... you know what i mean ?

[Wheeljack35]

I want that one but I was broke this week and that R5 is out of stock at my store
