The new Droidfactory set announced on Monday has started hitting Disney Springs! This set, featuring 4 astromechs (with some new tooling to boot) from Solo: A Star Wars Story, continues the tradition of issuing a new droid pack with each new film. This set includes R2-F1P, R5-232, R2-S8 and R5-PHT and retails for $29.99.

The new Droid Factory astromech R3-H17 is now listed on the Shop Disney Parks app, although it is current labeled as available for in-store purchase only.
Update: You may want to give the app another shot as it is apparently letting app orders go through.
Update 2: R3-H17 is now pulled from the app. Thanks to Steve W. for the update.
Droid Factory Collectors has posted a nice carded shot of the upcoming holiday astromech R3-H17. This festive droid features seasonally appropriate deco as well as an arm that holds a sprig of mistletoe.

Facebook user Peter B. has shared that Disney Springs at Walt Disney World now has the new halloween-themed Droid Factory Astromech, R3-BOO17, in stock.
We saw them for The Force Awakens and Rogue One, and since Disney has tipped their hand ever so slightly in announcing official Force Friday II festivities at Disney Parks, we thought we’d share their is speculation of a new Droid Factory 4pk that may or may not include some spiffy new BB Units that have recently been revealed from a different manufacturer. We’ll have to see how this rumor rolls out.
The Disney Parks app has updated this morning listing the new R2-D2 and C-3PO Droid Factory set. It is currently listed as out of stock and there is no mention of it being “in-store only” like Chopper and R-3DO. Keep checking back throughout the day for a status change.
The Disney Park app has repopulated their Droid Factory offerings with a new caveat stating the the new Droid Factory build-a-droid figures like Chopper and R-3DO are now available to purchase in-store only and can not be ordered through the app.
The insanely collectible Droid Factory program is about to expand in a huge way as several new products were revealed today by the Disney Parks team at Star Wars Celebration. Click on through for images of tomorrow’s launch of the Protocol Droids, several carded releases for the holidays and D23 PLUS the tease of a Sandcrawler with Power Droid Playset!
