I'm not sure if I'll be picking this one up, I was hoping for an R4 mold repaint..but the accessories are cool, and since I dont collect vehicles, I dont have any of them...guess its one of those "wait to see it at the store" figures...
Interesting. This may just be enough for me to get one to open now.
oof, I'd be more excited if I didn't just get this same exact figure in my early bird set
i can't wait to get two. one to open and the other for my collection.
It's simple: If it's the chrome dome, I'm out. If it's the gray dome, I'm buying seven of them.
I too was hoping out for a repainted R4. But now that I think about it, Hasbro made a movie-accurate move using the VOTC R2 because of the periscope he used to track form Luke's signal.
Yeah, but the chrome is totally inaccurate. That kills it for me. Oh well, we've got till 2018....Tyrannusspotting said:

Hasbro repainted the light but took off the paint on Luke's food? I was gonna pass but since they repainted him I'm gonna have to buy him.
Hopefully that's just a prototype, and the food will still be painted.
What's in the other box?

But the package says nothing, and the figure tells its own story.
I TOTALLY agree. There is NOTHING to confirm that this fig will be electronic. I hope it is (nice addition to the VOTC mold), but I'm doubting it. Just because Hasbro's site says so, does NOT mean it will be. Look at the loose promotional pic. It clearly shows an ROTS style R4 repaint, and the figure turned out to be a VOTC fig. Early pics and "linear notes" are ALWAYS subject to change. Hasbro changes stuff ALL THE TIME!MisterKenobi said:
Again, I say that this will NOT be electronic. I should have the fig this week and will be able to end this debate!
oh man, if this is a repack of VOTC R2, i'm gonna have to add him to my list of saga figures to buy. it's like all the new sculpts are amazing and the repacks are predicted to be pegwarmers. hmmmm. hint hint, hasbro. i can't see if he has any of his gizmos too. but man will this ever be nice. VOTC for much less that comes with more.
excuse me while i drool at these pictures some more

This confirms that it's electronic.

Again, just because the site says so, does not mean that's how the final figure came out. The site is also showing the ROTS repaint and NOT the VOTC style that they used for the final fig.Rune_Haako said:

Well, the promo image can be from a generic mold, but not the features of the figure. There's an extended text explaining the characteristics, and Hasbro says "with electronic lights and sounds". They can miss to tell the feature, but not to include it on the release. Well, that's what I think...

that is a great detail of this astromech droid. what this droid needs a luke skywalker - snowspeeder pilot figure.
I hope he will be made w/removable helmet (working visor, chin strap) lightsaber hilt, lightsaber blade, detonator, grapple beam he use to get up the at at walker and a blaster. he'll need a SA (ball jointed shoulders, swivel arms, ball jointed knees, swivel wait, ball jointed ankles.
he needs a hoth base!

Like I predicted this figure is NOT electronic!!!!!!
He is simply a repaint of the VOTC/Early bird R2. He's more dirty and the panel is glued on (like the EB R2).
The pics:
Comparison pic with the VOTC and EB R2-D2:
I'll get him for the accessories.
I loved the VOTC R2 to begin with, so I'll grab one of these. I can always use a spare for a dio and the accessories alone are reason enough to pick this one up. Just as I said about the Vader in this wave, I'm happy to see that good figures are being used for the repacks.
I like this one better than both of the ROTS versions. The electronic one was kind of fun
but there's just something about the chrome dome that really makes the Saga one cool.

Just got this R2 figure in the mail today from amazon.
Nice accessories for Hoth/Dagobah but I think Hasbro went overboard with the snow stains paint deco on the figure. Other than that I like the R2 D2 figure since I needed an original trilogy R2D2 figure anyway. Just have to deal with the snow stains deco on the body and the lower part of the legs. He's an old droid anyway so I can just pretend they're scorch marks on his body or whatever
