    My wife and I both have an R series and they DO interact with each other here at home. They do it about every one minute and forty five seconds. I was told the secret is to leave the remote off after turning the droids on. They do this all day until you turn them off.

    I was on the fence whether to get the Droid during my trip to Galaxy’s Edge in early June. But since I was unable to go to Savi’s due to it being sold out (long story) so I walked over to the Droid Depot and built my Droid. Imagine being angry/disappointed for being unable to get my saber but once the Droid was activated, a smile broke out of my face. I still love it so I guess it’s worth it. I got an R-Unit with the Smuggler personality chip. And since my budget for the lightsaber cleared up, I got the back pack as well. Now I’m glad I did since you said it’s all sold out for now. I also bought the serving tray. Now I want to go back and get the pistols. Thanks for the review.

    Thanks for posting all the Personality chip sounds. It’s been hard to find that info on how they all sound. My wife and I built our droids last week and they were definitely talking to each other even outside Galaxy’s Edge. We were in California adventure and once one of the droids made a noise the other one would chime in. The sound level around us seemed to make a difference. If it was loud walking around the park they wouldn’t talk to each other but if it was quiet like waiting in line for soarin, they would respond to each other. We’re going back next Tuesday, I’ll test them out again and report back.

    • @Dan-O
      @Dan-O  5 лет назад +7

      I’d love to know test info from home too! I’m pretty sure they use the same signal as the “made with magic” ears and Wands so it makes sense they interact all around the parks as those signals are already there being broadcast.

Even if we don’t always use them they look super cool and the memories made with them are worth way more than $100 plus chips and accessories.

      R units tend to get carpet stuck between the wheels and get slowed down by a surface that isn't perfectly flat, while the main issue for B units currently is throwing their heads. It doesn't really effect your park experience, but it's something to think about if you plan to use it frequently afterwards.

    Thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate you sharing all of the accessories and especially the personality chips. You're the only one that has done that so far! Your videos are making it possible to estimate a budget for my trip later this year and I'm able to take some overtime shifts to help soften the blow on some of the more expensive items.
    For me the droids are definitely worth it. Droids are one of my favorite aspects of Star Wars and being able to choose the way it looks and sounds and essentially treat it like a little pet makes it worth the price tag for me.

      @@Dan-O You're welcome, I definitely will be sharing! Sorry for such a long comment, but I forgot to say something in the last one that you might be interested in looking into.
      There is a review by John Carlos McMaster that appears to show two droids interacting briefly. They are both R units, so maybe that matters? He actually says the same thing as you.. that he's never seen them interact. But then at about 8.39 in his video they seem to for a second. I thought maybe you'd be interested in checking it out or talking to him about it, so I'll link it for you. ruclips.net/video/mDOSvtojMCg/видео.html

      Bella I watched it. It’s the beginning to their shutdown sequence but since he last hit the remote a few seconds apart their sequence starts a few
      Seconds apart. Not actual Interaction but a timing coincidence. I reached out to him to see if had any further info.

    Thanks Dan-O for doing the breakdown of each droid, their personality chips and accessories!
    To be honest, I wasn’t really originally into the idea of buying a droid that doesn’t actually do anything outside of the experience of building it and taking it around the parks. Plus that price point.
    The experience itself looks awesome, but maybe not much value outside the parks. However, seeing how you’re using your droids in your videos, both as display and ‘co-hosts’, I can see myself having something similar for my own upcoming channel (Jedi focused). So thank you for that inspiration on top of all your efforts. If I ever actually get myself to Batuu, I’ll definitely pick one up.
    Also, it occurred to me that it’s a major missed opportunity that Disney didn’t actually put in any droid-to-droid interaction outside the parks. Even if that interaction was basic, and if it demoed well, people would be buying and building TWO droids, just to unlock that ability and show their friends at home. It would have added to the pull on fans to go to GE. They probably would have sold way more droids.
    But I guess cast members were telling people that there IS home interaction when there isn’t. Certainly cheaper than actually putting in said interaction, but certainly shady as fk as well.
    So thanks for busting that myth and making it crystal clear what we’re getting. Much appreciated. Much respect. Finally subscribed. ✌🏻

      The droids absolutely do interact with another outside the parks. The B-units are quieter and less responsive in general it seems, but a couple of R units will definitely talk to each other all day if you let them.

He explains the logic behind the tech and shows that the droids do interact with each other on an average 2minute polling interval, the same as reacting to the beacons isn't always instant

    As an AP it’s worth it. Since I can slowly collect accessories. I’m actually thinking a mostly white so I can interchange the accessories colors.
    For a play experience I’d go for the blasters and or jets. But tools and drink tray seem pointless. Since they aren’t functional. I know niether are the blasters or jets. But at least you can pretend they are. Have 2 do a play shootout (wonder what first order at park would do if my droid shot his blaster at them). Vs just walk around with a drink tray that can’t be properly held so can’t bring drinks.

    i went on the 12th of june with my reservation, paid to make an r2 unit, and then found out while making it, that they ran out of white, blue and black leg panels. all they had were red ones, so i got a refund, took 8 days to get my money back on my card. I just went back today, and they were completely out of personality chips.... lots of kinks to work out... I finally got into the cantina, so i spent my money on two mugs instead. droid will have to wait until they get theyre crap together. luckily, i live ten miles away and have a 365 day a year pass, so i will have plenty of opportunities to get my droid and saber and backpack, etc. thanks for the review, the most helpful things were knowing about them NOT talking to each other, and hearing the personality chips!!

    I would say that the Droid by itself is worth it, I mean, Star Wars toys are expensive, I'm sure they this Droid would've costed similar to this if it was a toystore toy, like a Hasbro a Toys'R'Us. It's nice plastic, Bluetooth, and most importantly, customizable, so they are quality toys. The other accessories for me are not worth it, unless you rreeeeallly want to go for extreme customization. The only accessory I think might be worth it might be the drink tray, that way you could display the Droid in a bar /mancave arrangement, or a bachelor's pad kinda deal.
