Disney Store has revised the droid name designations for two of the upcoming Droid Factory releases. Originally, the copper protocol droid was named CW-24, now it is CU-28* and the pink astromech was QT-K2, now it’s QT-KT.
*Not sure if it was intentional or again another oversight but CU 29 is the listing for the element Copper on the periodic table.
Thank to Corey from Disney Star Wars Droid Factory FB group for the alert.
The first Droid Factory Friday kicks off now at DisneyStore with R5-K6! This astromech droid includes the first BAD part (torso) for TC-332. Collect the remaining droids one the first Friday of each month from now until June to complete TC-332.
Update: If you hesitated yesterday on the new Droid Factory R5-K6, it appears that it got a $3 price increase overnight to $19.99 to match the price at parks. I guess with the incorporated build-a-droid piece, that “warranted” a price hike. 🤷🏼♂️ Thanks to darthchuckmc for the alert.
