R2-D2 is one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars universe and one of the most recognizable robots in cinema history. The LEGO version is 1,050 pieces of brick-built detail that measures 9 inches tall, rotates its head 360 degrees, deploys a third leg, and comes with an R2-D2 information plaque and a 25th anniversary Darth Malak minifigure on a dedicated stand. Amazon currently has it at $79, down from its regular $99 which is the lowest price this set has ever reached and $20 below what LEGO’s official website charges for the same product.

1,050 pieces, a rotating head, deployable tools, and a Darth Malak minifigure included
The finished R2-D2 model includes the details that make the character recognizable: the rotating dome head turns the full 360 degrees, the retractable third leg deploys for the classic tripod stance, and attachable tools and a periscope complete the screen-accurate look. At 9 inches tall, 6 inches wide, and 4 inches deep, the model is substantial enough to anchor a shelf or desk without getting lost among other objects. The information plaque and 25th anniversary display stand finish the presentation with the kind of intentional detail that makes the difference between a set that looks built and one that looks designed for display.
