Hi all! Please keep the comments coming! Here are some clarifications as we have gotten lots of comments on the following! 1. I know I call the droids BB8's and R2 units, this is because several of you and I know there are a lot of differences and lots of variations, but most people don't. For the sake of simplicity, it’s much easier to just call them BB8’s an R2’s. 2. Price: 106.49 with tax. This is the cost for both each.

CJ not sure what you are stating. If you have one droid, after 5 minutes it will shut off and then nothing happens at all. Two or more droids tuned on, remotes turned off every few minutes or so one will set the other/s off and this will continue on and on until turned off. This will continue about every 5 minutes or so. Interaction
@AngelJuliet4 жыл бұрын
The only time the droids appear to be interacting with one another is when they are in the parks. This is because there is a blue tooth connection that will send a signal to the Droid and the signal reaches each droid at different times. Making it seem like their talking to each other. When you get out of the parks though and at home they will not do this. The delay is far too long for it to be considered interacting with each other. It’s kind of like the same technology as the interactive wizarding wands at Harry Potter. They will react while in the park but not as much once you leave.

The Orlando Wizard that would be great! Because I know I’ve seen other videos where the person bought a BB and an R2 and tests whether their talking back and forth at home, but there is a delay. A long enough delay that the person recording felt they weren’t directly talking but just making random beeps and boops. Are you saying that they seem to be responding immediately? Or at least with enough time inbetween that it seems like their communicating?

My advice is this… If you’re visiting the parks, be it as a resident or not, every year, month, etc. basically on a frequent bases get the R-Series, or C-series since your most likely to keep coming back easily for new parts and upgrades to it. If you’re coming to Disney as a one shot trip with family and know you won’t return for a while, get the B-Series droid since you won’t be back often. The B-series will also impress those who live from afar.

I finally went to Disneyland 2 years ago, and I was so glad I got the R-Unit. I ended up buying the accessory packs, personality chip, backpack, and extra tiles for my droid, and they were worth it! I also like the C1-10 droids because you can customize and place the accessories on those too. They didn’t add those droids at the time yet when I went, but my mom bought Chopper who has the same build. The BB units kind of disappointed me with the lack of parts and accessories. The body was a bit floppy too and the head can get detached easily. The design is kind of inconvenient to have to take the droid apart to turn it on and off. I’ve also seen some people damage their BB unit if it is on rough terrain, and the body will get dented.

Problem with the BB units is from the design of BB-8 itself. It's a ball with a head. Works great in cinema but not in real life. R2 on the other hand is a bin with wheels. Works great and suits the dystopian Star wars theme. As R2 has less moving or complex parts accessories work great with it and so does making the thing. As BB entire body moves it makes accessories a lot harder and and designing and making it is also a slight challenge. It's nice how Disney still tried though and got something which sort of works

For me, despite the R units being better overall, I find myself more attracted to the BB units because they're closer to life size. The R units are downright tiny, and it feels odd, but the BB units are only slightly small compared to the movie, so it looks a lot nicer to me. Plus, if ever go to Galaxy's Edge, I'll realistically only be able to get one droid if at all, so the interaction would only really matter to me while at the park.

Mine bb8 responses to me talking every single time even when I have him connect to my phone. And from what I heard is that there all terrain. Rt unit is not all terrain and mine is pretty stable. But I'm also buying a rt unit as well. 🙂

In-universe tho, definitely going bb unit. Literally better than every R series unit by far, which makes sense cuz it's the future. It's faster, more adaptable, can not tip over, can point literally every direction easily, perfect for repairing my ship quickly.

Hello from Japan! This is very helpful video even uploaded about 3 years ago. My 8 year old son and I are going to california Disney for 1 day on the way to see his grandma. He really wants to make both R2D2 and BB-8. But we can only make one because fly back to japan. This honest pros and cons are very helpful and I think our first droid will be R2D2! Thank you for sharing info!!!!!

I’m so glad you found it helpful! But guess what! They have expanded the R2 units to include more parts in the build! Chopper parts are now available! I would love to see what you all build! You can upload a picture on The Orlando Wizard Facebook page! Have a wonderful time and a safe trip!

Ok so my two sons bought one of each. The BB8 is harder to control but easier to build. My younger son built the BB8 and it activated right away. My oldest built the R2 but was harder to build and took several times for them to activate. The R2 also sometimes doesn't move as smooth.
@TheOrlandoWizard3 жыл бұрын
That is not the norm for activation, normally they would both activate first time. Most people find that putting the shells together on the BB units hard. I would think you might have a bad R2 unit. So a fun thing to do - If you turn both of the droids on around the same time and make sure the remotes are OFF, keep them near each other and they will talk back and forth all day every few min!
@christinasweetheart28103 жыл бұрын
@@TheOrlandoWizard yeah my oldest came out of Savis saying he had to replace some stuff. But it is fun watching them communicate. My 12 year old was able to put the BB8 together in no time when my 19 year old had the harder time. But my 12 year old is good at electronics and building things.😃

Jacob Despain this all depends on what you are doing with it. If it’s just sitting there, no problem, R/C head will fall off from time to time, interaction with Land and/or other droids is sporadic at best
@jacobdespain14114 жыл бұрын
The Orlando Wizard, that's what I'm talking about. The head rarely fell off in my bag, and interaction around batuu west was good (he really liked being around Smuggler's run the best). I even had some droid to droid interaction over in California Adventure which was blew my mind because I heard that droids actually didn't interact with each other outside of the land. You wouldn't think there would be a difference between Disneyland and Disneyworld, but maybe there is 🤔
@TheOrlandoWizard4 жыл бұрын
Jacob Despain no difference in the lands with the droids, rarely is still falling off and the head falling off during remote control is often. I never said they never reacted, it’s just not as consistent as the R2 units.
