LEGO Is Going All In, Its 4.9-Rated Star Wars R2-D2 Set Is Selling for Pennies - Kotaku
"R2-D2's dome head will rotate 360 degrees so that you can pose him like he's scanning his surroundings or reacting to droids and minifigures across from him. This rotating system uses LEGO Technic parts hidden in the build to create smooth motion without loosening after extended periods. The third leg that is removable also flexes and folds, emulating R2's movement from the films in which he transitions from his stable three-legged form to his faster two-wheeled wheel mode."
"The adorable R2-D2 droid exemplifies this success perfectly and boasts a 4.9 out of 5 stars across thousands of reviews. By fortunate timing, this set has just dropped to an all-time low on Amazon, and it's flying off the shelves: At $79 down from its usual $99 price, this 1,050-piece building experience delivers both a satisfying construction project and a display piece that captures one of cinema's most iconic characters in brick form."
The LEGO R2-D2 set is a 1,050-piece model currently priced at $79, reduced from $99, and holds a 4.9 out of 5-star rating across thousands of reviews. The completed model measures over 9 inches high, 6 inches wide, and 4 inches deep, offering a compact but impressive display piece. The dome head rotates 360 degrees and uses hidden LEGO Technic parts for smooth motion that resists loosening over time. A removable third leg flexes and folds to emulate R2-D2's transition between three-legged and two-wheeled modes, and an attachable periscope and other tools replicate the droid's various gadgets. The set includes a bonus 25th Anniversary Darth Malak minifigure.
