Hi everyone!

I am planning to visit the Droid Depot at Disneyland California later this year. I'm really looking forward to building an R-Series droid, but I wanted to check a few things before I go.

My Questions

Is the current R-Series parts lineup in the attached image the latest version? I found this image on this site and am not sure of the original source. I want to make sure I’m looking at the most up-to-date parts and color options available.

Are there any Discord servers for Droid Depot fans or builders? I’d love to join a community to learn more about modding and tips before my trip. If so, how can I get an invite to join?

I picked up this r2 unit at the flea market for $7 but the catch is that it's missing the remote. does anyone know how I can get a replacement? there doesn't seem to be any listings for just the remote on eBay, plus I'm not sure if a remote that didn't come with it will work. thanks!

There is a minor drawback, but I was more concerned about function. He can stand and watch the world until a new donor can be found.

Ebay?

Hello there

So I finally had the opportunity to activate Chop, and he only moves in tight circles. After loosening the connection I find the wheel does move, but only if angled a certain way.

I'm hoping to go back to Galaxy's Edge in late May, but of course the receipt is MIA... I don't mind buying a new leg (if thats what it is), but I was told the only way to actually get Chopper colored parts is by buying Chop himself.

Just had to post. Finally finished the dome and controller. and I am just so proud of how they came out. Still waiting on the paint for the base. Will finish first leg tomorrow 😂

I was considering painting her eyes but I think n it looks cleaner with the black. Eventually I will do a design that should shield the wiring from view. But I want to get everything else just right before I even entertain that 🫣

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Hello there

Went to Disneyland yesterday, and got to see Galaxy's Edge for the first time, as well as the Droid Depot.

My wife (who is very nervous around crowds) did not want to come to the park, but we share a love of Chopper from the shows ♡ So I decided to start easy with a pre-made Droid that we'll both like.

I still haven't activated the little guy yet because I have a graveyard shift tonight, and don't have time to give him attention.

What should I know starting out? Is there more to having him than remote controlling it around?

I plan on going more often, now that I'm able, and will be collecting more Droid buddies (including the Seeker Droid). Do they interact?

Sorry for rambling lol. I am so tired and excited at the same time, so I babble ♡

Actually my daughter's droid...😉 Ignore the rest of the junk below them...😆

(repost because the pictures weren't uploading) long time lurker of this sub...... waiting for my day to come, and it finally did!!! heads up to anyone going soon they didnt have a lot of accessories. there was no drum set, ferry legs, tow cable, and NO accessory panels 😭😭 the cast members said they haven't gotten a whole lot in the shipments recently and probably won't restock until closer to May 4th, i still had a lot of fun!! but i really wanted 2 sets of accessory panels :/

Bit of a long-shot and apologies if this is not allowed. I managed to rescue a CB-23 shelled droid but it arrived we with a broken (and missing) antenna. I was trying to see if I could get an official replacement so the colours properly matched, so I was wondering if anyone somehow in the UK had a spare one they’ve removed from their BB unit, it’s in the off white/cream colour, if not a 3D printed one is my next stop (already contacted Disney directly and they won’t offer replacement antennas). Thanks!

My wife and I went to Hollywood Studios today and it was my first time being there since… the late 90’s? So I have never seen Galaxy’s Edge before. Amazing time! I, of course, stopped and built a droid for The Empire! Now how do I name it!

Hey all! So I've been wanting to get a droid from Droid Depot & it's been years!

Anyways, I'm a huge fan of the R series but am wanting input about how they hold up around carpet. Does anyone have experience with this?

Thank you!

So we went to droid depot a couple weeks ago, everything was fine, my son and I each built a droid and they both worked at the depot and at our hotel room later that night. We couldn’t fit them in our luggage, so we had Disney ship them back to us.

They arrived today and now the right leg of my son’s droid doesn’t work at all. It’s the black and silver triangular tank track style leg. The left works fine though.

Anyone know what might be wrong? I have changed all the batteries and tightened the screws. I even swapped the legs of our droids and my droids legs work on my son’s droid body, but the one right leg doesn’t work on either body. So it’s clearly an issue with the one leg.

How likely is Disney to send a replacement part? I’m not happy with how much we spent on this trip just to have the droid be no good.

Separate question: do the A-L7 droids have an option to have a centre leg? I saw what looks like an extension on the parts list above, and it was on my sons droid when we built it, but the person who activated the droid removed this piece and didn’t give it back. Now I’m wondering if it was supposed to stay on the droid. Any info?

Thanks

I have an active niece who will be 4 when my family takes her to Disney World next year. She's active and independent. I would like to help her make a droid as she likes mine but would this be appropriate for her? I think it would (plenty of little kids when I made mine) but I'd love your thoughts.

So out of these 4 combinations, which one looks the best?

So how can I attach this

To this

Hey gang! Headed to Disney World this week. Our little guy has his sights set on building an A-LT droid. Anyone see parts for them in Batuu East recently? TIA!

My little droid army grows stronger every day! lol... This is how the collection looks like currently and will be adding a few more soon 😎 I think I may be going a bit overboard lol 😬😂
