Requirement for Star Wars Fans
The LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 kit is a requirement for fans across the globe: It offers a detailed build in celebration of one of the most famous characters in the Star Wars series. In March 2024, coincidentally in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars, the set brings to life the beauty and ingenuity of the crafty astromech droid. The 1,050-piece box is packed with detail and potential and offers a rewarding build that is difficult but still within reach for builders 10 and up. When built, R2-D2 stands easily over 9 inches tall, 6 inches wide, and 4 inches deep, a big display figure that will have a fine home on a shelf or desk.
The model features a 360-degree rotating head, a third leg that can be removed, a periscope that can be removed to attach and an assortment of tools that can be equipped just like in the movies. The model also prompts fans to reenact fond memories or to craft new experiences for their favorite droid. The set also includes a minifigure-scale R2-D2 and, as a bonus on the anniversary, an exclusive minifigure of Darth Malak with lightsaber and anniversary display stand. This bonus addition celebrates 25 years of LEGO Star Wars and adds extra value for collectors.
This LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 model for $79 is one of Amazon’s best buys during Star Wars Week. With the added excitement of other major sets on sale, this week has truly felt like a second Star Wars Day for fans. If you’ve ever wanted to build your own R2-D2, now is the time to act (fast).
