LEGO R2-D2
$239.99 save 8% $221.27 at Amazon
This 2,315-piece collector's edition represents the most authentic R2-D2 replica LEGO has ever produced. Our team at IGN enjoyed building this set during its initial release. Standing over 12 inches tall, the model features multiple articulating parts including:
- Retractable third leg
- Functioning front hatches
- Extendable periscope
LEGO's attention to detail shines through in every aspect of this build, with accurate colors and meticulous recreations of R2's iconic features. While briefly discounted for Star Wars Day, this collector's item is unlikely to remain below MSRP much longer.
R2-D2's Recent Appearances
The astromech droid last appeared in 2021's The Book of Boba Fett episode "From the Desert Comes a Stranger" (Episode 6), which we rated 7/10 for its focus on Mandalorian storylines over the titular character.
