Thats dissapointing about the drink tray. I was hoping you could actually serve drinks on it. But it looks like trash. The Droid Depot is supposed to be chaotic though. Kind of how I imagined it would be from the movies. I think they did good with the atmosphere for both Savi's and the depot. Lightsaber building should be mysterious and cerimonial while building a droid should be like an insane flea market with parts everywhere.

I agree, I think the chaotic theming for the Doris Depot is accurate, but you also have to balance show with courtesy.

[@Moody_n54]

Just a heads up, the droids don't actually interact with each other. They do interact in the park due to frequencies being sent out in certain areas, and the separate frequencies are staggered to make it seem like they are talking to each other. Personality chips will make them behave differently depending on what section of the park you are in as well, like the Resistance chip will make the droid sound nervous in the First Order area while it will be excited in the Resistance area and vice versa. Just wanted to put the info out there so you don't buy multiple droids thinking they will talk to each other at home when they will not.

[@warknox1123]

My wife's BB unit and my R unit respond to each other at home. I would not call it full on talking, but when sitting next to each other they do alternately make their talking noises without controller input. I am not sure where people keep getting the info that they do not respond to each other outside of GE.

[@misskristeenah9141]

Really? We have two droids and when one starts making noises the other does right after. Maybe a coincidence but it happens all the time with ours

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Ha see I knew I wasn’t crazy. I saw a video of this somewhere on KZbin.

[@virtualinsomnia]

The Dan-O Channel did a livestream where he tested it out with his two droids at home. They basically will sense another droid is present and then the auto-sleep mode that usually happens after 5 minutes of inactivity will be disengaged so they continue to make boops and beeps roughly on a two minute cycle.

When it comes to stuff like that, cast members are only friendly and helpful for a few minutes After the attraction opens and only for a few guests. After like the 10th guest their attitudes change and their patience go out the door, why? Because they have to service several hundred to thousand guests, all of which ask the same questions and often times multiple times because they either don't pay attention or its too loud.

[@awesomeguy9513]

Not bad for the R Droids versions but the B droids seem a bit over priced. They have less accessories options and some people have reported that they are less interactive with other droids also the heads are very loose the magnets can hold it yes but not that well

[@themanbehindtheslaughter7633]

I find both really good, the bb does have bad sides to though but i imagine if the droids are send radio waves at blackspire outpost(only) they get it at the same time to make illusion of talking so there should be no problem with bb communication

[@bonniehowell4259]

I think given the overall experience,its a fair price. I just wish the base price would include more decals and other minor pieces to customize your droid more unique. Having to purchase more decals on top of that price seems excessive.

When he started putting it together, I immediately thought, "Oh it all just snaps together? That's pretty lame." But then he had to use the screwdriver to attach it, which is a nice touch. Actually gives the sense you're actually assembling it. For 100 bucks, it seems like a decent experience, considering it would probably cost the same amount of money or more to buy a toy droid outside of the park. The remote did indeed look incredibly toyish, but thats probably because it needs to be simple enough for kids to use. Having all the pieces just go by on the conveyor was probably my favorite part, though.

The screwdriver was the best part. Wish there was more of that in the experience

I kinda liked the contrast between the two building experiences. To me it was like how in Star Wars almost anybody can have a droid, so the building process is more chaotic and crowded and I guess “public”. But building the lightsaber is more personal and private, it’s hidden in a corner already and in Star Wars not just anybody can go build a lightsaber. It captured the difference between the general Star Wars public and the Force Sensitive orders if that makes sense

[@troywhite8980]

I think your video and review mirrors my experience almost exactly. The custom saber build was literally "an experience." The cast members did a great job of acting, they were incredibly helpful with questions and instructions. The entire process was fun and very Disney-like. The droid build on the other hand, was a free for all. Even though an appointment was required at the time (I think they are now taking walk-ins), the cast members were either absent, distracted, or in such a hurry that they may have not even been there. It lead to increased build times (and therefore increased wait times) and people just helping each other out. It's already a slow process when you're inundated with choices/colors/parts and then to have to figure all the steps on your own was overwhelming for some. During my experience, the CMs didn't even point out the screwdrivers and so people were incredibly confused about how to get the arms to stay put. Thankfully, I'd watched a KZbin video in advance and knew what to expect. Lastly, a lot of the parts were somewhat ill-fitting, especially the two chest pieces. It took me a while to find a matching set that didn't have one or both popping outward instead of resting flat. The droid itself is totally worth $99 to me. I would skip on the personality chip; the original sounds are more to my liking than any of the chips, but that's a totally subjective thing. They are fun and exactly the kind of little robot I always wanted when I was a kid.

Apply the sticker while the area is still wet.

"Activates randomly throughout the land" is a great way to describe radio interference. I used to race RC cars so there is no way the remotes aren't interfering with each other. It's finicky.

[@KurNorock]

You must not have done RC for a very long time. These days you can have thousands of RC cars and planes going at the same time. The number is virtually limitless because each transmitter and receiver are bound by a signature, or code, transmitted within the frequency. So even if there is another car sharing the same frequency, it doesn't matter because it doesn't have the same binding code.

Glad I came to disney land in late august there were no significant lines anywhere. Checked out the sabers too but didn't buy one as I have much higher quality VV and saberforge stuff at home

[@TheWouldtick]

You guys are adorable. Love it when a couple has a common interest.

[@beakboi9533]

Now I’ve got a life size Bb-8 that follows voice commands and can follow you. It was from Walmart on clearance for $100. Aside from the customization options, it’s better than the bb units you can get here in every way

[@_Gecko]

Your doggo is just here for the hugs😂

[@deanmottershead9208]

Small dogs love hugs well at least my mum and dads dog loves hugs and kisses

[@narjo5019]

Yall are cool, I found myself binge watching all of your Galaxy's Edge videos and clicked on this new one asap. May the Force be with you.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much!!!

[@robertsowden1454]

Wish we got something like this in the UK but then Jakku would just rain all the time 😂

[@jeffr7752]

Yeah, but it would give it more of a Blade Runner vibe. Which would actually be VERY cool.

[@SumOldGitt]

You guys are so great. Seeing you having fun choosing the parts made me smile ear to ear.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks for watching 😊😊

[@AParker077]

I would like to see him after you do paint on him. I’m thinking of doing the same when I get my droid. Very interested in your results.

[@Johnybulletproof]

You should get into "Jawa" Mindset to enjoy searching parts and building it .

[@frosty8597]

If all the droids had like a music player I wouldn’t want a Walkman for Christmas

[@koldbones2382]

Keep it up guys really like that your just regular folks not trying to push any agenda..I look fwd to your next adventure🤖

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much

[@Enderbite]

This is so cool and its all about the experience. I think they did a great job on this

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much!

[@jakehands]

Making a droid is fine, but what about making a Falcon star ship.

Dog: "I'm alive and I'm right here. Maybe put down the piece of plastic and pay some attention to me."

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

He gets plenty of attention ;)

[@enchantedrita3428]

Thanks for taking us along with you. My husband is really considering building one but we still aren't sure if it's worth the price. It's an awesome experience I would say.

[@itsyanielxo]

14:25 I love his Into the spider verse shirt. Love Gwen !! And you can tell this guy loves green lol

[@Stapybfbfan]

“DONT BE AFRAID WHEN IT STARTS MAKING SOME WEIRD NOISES” what type of noises???

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

😂

[@theheroneededwillette6964]

I’m definitely going going to buy a backpack for the droid, it will be at lot easier to carry, but I’m still wonder how that will get through airport security.

[@derekp4928]

R2 is old school. Screw bb8.

[@xXBLACKOPS28Xx]

The one in the backpack was so cute. I NEED TO GO NOWWW!!!

[@TMRtours]

We were on the fence about getting a droid, this info has helped. Probably will have to grab one now. Thanks for sharing!

[@ericroll]

I'm glad you bought the stickers to show how they look. I was a bit underwhelmed by the color choices of the bodies and legs, but the stickers provide a wider variety. The green against the black is a nice stark contrast.

[@cherylhale5755]

Cool...the best thing is the look on your dog’s face, while looking at his new “sibling” ;-)

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🐶

[@skvltdmedia]

Seems like that lack of help adds to the typical chaos of SW factories and junk yards.

[@SteveWalden73]

Sir, the maker was most pleased when he made you, and ma'am, you're his hope.

[@MrGrinboi24]

I’ve binged for like 2 hours watching you guys, absolutely love your energy and chemistry. May the force be you with you both.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

😁

$99 is actually pretty good for the small custom units for what they are, but for $25,000 for the life-size one you can basically build your own from scratch three or four times over. The reason why the turnkey life-size unit is so expensive is because they're custom milled from billet aluminum parts for a high level of detail and use proprietary electronics that have an R&D markup on them, while if you make one yourself you can use cheaper, easier to cut materials and easily available off-the-shelf gearmotors and electronics. A bare-bones wood-framed polyethylene covered build with hacked drill motors for drive and dome control, a flat original trilogy R5-style dome, some Pololu 25A ESCs (you'll need one for each motor), a cheap hobbyking radio system some Turnigy batteries and some cheap wheels from Harbor Freight would probably run you at most a few hundred. Detail work can be done on a 3D printer. Sound and light control isn't much of an upcharge, you can implement that with an Arduino, an SD card shield, a speaker and some LEDs. You'd have to program it yourself, though. As to why the small ones are a good deal, it's due to high-volume production. The life-size ones are built to order while the small toy-grade units are mass-produced in the hundreds of thousands.
