Released as part of Lucasfilm’s 50th Anniversary celebration in 2021, this R2-D2 is a black-box Star Wars Lego set, which means it’s more of a display model and is geared toward adults.<\/p>\n

When complete, the 2,314-piece R2-D2 Lego model<\/a> measures 12.5 x 7.5 x 6 inches, so while it’s not an extremely large set in terms of overall space, it’s an intricate build with many little flourishes and features that make it stand out as a display piece. This includes interactive components pulled from the movies: rotating head, retractable leg, adjustable periscope, and a front hatch that opens and extends outward. There’s also a secret storage compartment for Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber.<\/p>\n

This R2-D2 model also comes with a display plaque with details about the droid, an R2-D2 minifigure, and a Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary stand for the minifigure. For collectors out there, it’s worth noting that this R2-D2 model is the only Lego set with the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary brick.<\/p>\n

Lego released a smaller, 1,050-piece R2-D2 buildable figure<\/a> last year for $100–but it’s on sale for $80. The newer R2-D2 is recommended for kids ages 10 and up, and while it still looks great, the build process is not nearly as elaborate as the the larger R2-D2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Released as part of Lucasfilm’s 50th Anniversary celebration in 2021, this R2-D2 is a black-box Star Wars Lego…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":58275,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[171,53,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-58274","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114837545563360955","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58274\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
