Just saw this set at Target in Boulder, CO. No interest in it though.

Yeah I think it's quite interesting but not a part of me wants it.

Not even the nifty new Astrodroid noggin?
I got 6 just for that reason alone :awesome:

Spencer?:>}

Nah gave up on build a droid after they canceled this years. Only care about purple ones now.

Hello there,

does this astromech (ok, it's just the dome) have an official name/designation number?
TIA

Farbauti.

No offical name yet, but as the head is designed to match R3-A2's body and Jedi fighter Astros usually begin with "R4" My guess is "R4-A2"

-I wander if Hasbro knew about this: Star Wars TCW Season 6 First Look at (Yoda Arc) - YouTube when they decided to make this mini-rig?

Revanfan1 · May 19, 2013

^Well that's an Episode III-style starfighter, and the mini-rig is a Delta-7, so maybe...but maybe not.

Internets · Aug 20, 2013

Got this for a tenner today. My Yoda has a decent paint job around the eyes and the ship is pretty good. Glad I got it but definitely would not have paid full whack for it.

Revanfan1 · Aug 20, 2013

Anyone who wants this but not the bad Yoda paint apps, now's the time: get the fighter and replace Yoda with the new Saga Legends one (unless the cape doesn't allow him in the cockpit, I don't know).

Internets · Aug 21, 2013

My Yoda is fine. Maybe the sorted out later batches?

Then Yoda doesn't have a headset. That's the only part of Yoda I care about in this figure.

Oh, yeah. The headset. I forgot about that.

Found this for $7 on clearance @ TJMaxx. Great item for that price.

Chewbacca · Sep 17, 2013

Have yet to find this at any of the clearance retailers, but the rest of the mini-rigs were there, one of each, anyway.

Chewbacca · Oct 17, 2013

Worst paint apps ever?

I picked this up at a $12 and change clearance price at a KMart earlier this week and just got a chance to closely examine it for the first time.
This atrocity has the worst paint apps I have ever seen on a SW figure. His eyes are painted so low that, in the store, I thought he looked high. In better light, it is much worse than that. His eyes are unpainted. The eye paint apps are down on the cheeks. Essentially, his "eye paint" apps look like eye black for an athlete.
I'd been holding off on this thing until it hit the clearance racks and clearance retailers, but this is worse than I had imagined. This is going to be exchanged for a duplicate wherever I can find one.

Chewbacca · Oct 18, 2013

I thought I had found a replacement, but it had the same paint apps, damn eyes painted on the cheeks. WTF? Has this been frequent?

pohatu771 · Oct 18, 2013

There were a few reports of it being fixed, but it's much, much more common to find it with bad eyes.

I bought it for the ship. If I ever have some paint, I'll try to fix the eyes, but I have a better Yoda figure already.

Chewbacca · Oct 19, 2013

Hmmm... I don't feel it is my responsibility to reward Hasbro for shoddy production or to repair it. But perhaps I could trade the Uzay Master in the RS Classifieds.

PizzatheHut · Oct 21, 2013

I also only bought the item for the vehicle and droid dome, but my Yoda doesn't have paint apps nearly as bad as people have reported here. The eyes might not be as crisp as they could be, but they're definitely in the correct location.

Mighty Pizza, they are on the cheeks. I swear as the Force is my witness.

saddestmoon · Oct 22, 2013

Hmmm... I've been wanting to pick this up for a while now (despite the paint-apps, wonky yodaeyes issues, etc.)
Primarily, I would get this for the starship / droid dome (like others have mentioned)... quite like it's green-colour and it's mini-jedi-startfighterish qualities.

Chewbacca · Oct 22, 2013

I've now found this in three states with the same paint apps issues. The same damn spot on the cheeks, so clearly it was the same batch out of the factory in China. Six-year-old Chinese laborers don't have the work ethic they did 10 years ago.

More like Hasbro's quality control sucks *** now.

Internets · Oct 25, 2013

I remember fist seeing it in the shops and every one was terrible. Then I saw one a month or so ago (maybe longer) that was okay so I picked it up in the sales.

Chewbacca · Oct 25, 2013

What chain?

Chewbacca · Oct 28, 2013

So are there any chains with a reliable Yoda eye paint job? I have looked in three states, at multiple chains, and have yet to see a version not with cheek eyes.

Internets · Nov 2, 2013

This was in the UK, Sainsbury's supermarket.

Chewbacca · Nov 8, 2013

Still haven't found one with decent paint apps.

Me either. I'll generally pick up any Yoda figure, but not this... thing. I gave up trying to find a correct version ages ago. I'm a little pickier about my paint apps. O.k.- ALOT Pickier!

Chewbacca · Nov 10, 2013

Yeah, even at 5 POA, for Hasbro to allow paint apps like that out of China is an insult to the consumer.

Chewbacca · Dec 3, 2013

I found another one at Marshall's today, and it was as bad as all the others I have seen. I guess I might as well open up the one I've got with the deeply flawed paint apps. I have no experience or skill in doing these customs, so I don't know what the hell to do with Fugly the Jedi Master.

Give it to a youngling in your family
