Disney just released some new Star Wars merch, and it's got people buzzing! Right now, a G1T4-M1N1 Droid is available for purchase on the Disney Store website. It's got a built-in camera and sensors so that it can identify the user and follow them around, without needing a Bluetooth remote!
It can hold up to 20lbs of travel gear (or snacks) and has a runtime of seven hours. On top of that, it only takes two hours to charge! There's even an app for your phone so you can complete the registration and any software updates, or access advanced functionality.
Of course, something this great can't be easily accessible, unless you have about $3000 lying around. In fact, this awesome new device comes to a total of $2,875 (which may as well be over $3,000 after tax, shipping, and handling).
This cool little guy would be great to have around the house or traveling through Disney parks on your family adventures, but is it worth buying right now? If you've got plenty of money to burn, sure. Why not? But if you are less fortunate, then obviously the answer is no.
Everyone could surely use one of these robotic companions, but sometimes, it's better to wait it out and see what works for your wallet. With this item being so new, there are bound to be kinks to work out along the way, as it is with any new piece of technology.
It's pretty exciting to finally have something like this available to the public though, because this can pave the way for future gadgets to be created, and we'll eventually get to see a lot more functions for them, whether they're very helpful, or just purely for entertainment.
But with newer, better technology on the way after a creation like this, it's likely we'll see the price drop on this cute yellow droid, making it more affordable for everyone to enjoy having in their home. It may just take a while before that happens.
Let's be honest, we all would love to get our hands on one of these, especially if you're a big Star Wars fan. Anyone would be willing to wait as long as they have to, whether it be when they drop the price or until you've finally saved up enough.
If you're excited and ready to add it to your cart, or you just want to see what all the fuss is about, check out this new droid on the Disney store website and see for yourself how incredible it is, and decide if now is the right time for a purchase, or if you should wait until it's better for your budget.
