Very good.
Beautiful building set and a must-have for any Star Wars and LEGO fan!
Very good
Positive aspects of this product are: fun design and good quality.
Building R2-D2 is a lot of fun.
Very cool for the real Star Wars and Lego fan! A must-have!
R2D2 comes to life
Great set! Definitely great for the real Star Wars and LEGO fan! A recommendation!
A whole afternoon of building fun!
Ordered from bol.com and easily picked up at Albert Heijn. Given as a gift and built together with the recipient for a whole afternoon. Because it is divided into multiple bags and includes multiple instruction booklets, it is very easy to build together, either two people or even three. You will definitely spend a whole afternoon on it, and then you will enjoy all the different functions. A very detailed model.
Love It
I had been waiting for an excuse to get R2D2 for many years. I should not have waited.
The finished kit is beautiful from head to toe, all the little gadgets, make this a truly and remarkable reproduction of the original and I believe that any starwars fan would love it even if they weren't that into lego
Lots of Fun!
I have always just helped my son with his Lego sets, and never really done one for myself. But when I saw the R2D2, I couldn't resist. I worked on it for a few hours a day for 3 days. It was challenging, but very fun! I cant wait to start another large set to display next to this one. Completely worth the time and money!
So much fun !!
I Love it! I saw it for the first time in the Down town Disney Lego Store, I fell in love... Since I was travelling back home, it was a little big to carry on. Last month, (Good for me and every Lego Fans in Quebec) Lego just opened a store in Laval. I took a trip just to buy the Lego R2D2. It was so much fun building it. I recommend it for every Lego and/or Star Wars Fans.
R2D2 it is you it is you
Just finished the best part of the build which was the Head, truly great detail and a great design!
One piece thats really annoying is R2 Eye, which is soooo loose!
One major headache is taking 45mins to work out how to get R2 in the 3rd leg position and after watching endless you tube clips and screaming at it....still didnt help....but then all of a sudden it clicks in place....I dare not change it back to the 2 leg position!!!!!
Rating.....The build 8/10 really enjoyable
Playability.....really dont know why they bother trying to put a couple of ‘features’ to add to some kind of playability....the Figure is for show!! 3/10
R2 looks really amazing when finished and a truly great addition to my Star Wars Lego Collection.
Excellent Detail And Features
My 8-1/2 year old daughter and I built it in 5-1/2 hours. I am super pleased with it. I personally feel that it was easy to build. I was actually surprised the bags were numbered. The Sopwith Camel and the Volkswagen Bus weren't. R2-D2 is time consuming but I don't think it is a 16+. Regardless, I highly recommend this. I am NOT into Star Wars at all. We are avid Lego builders.
I love it!
This is my first Star Wars set and I'm so happy that I took it!
I made it for six hours and it was amazing. I enjoyed every minute :))
I highly recomend it.
Any Star Wars Collector would be proud!
This R2 Unit has been my favourite UCS product yet! Such amazing detail and interesting play features for either your Lego fan or Star Wars collector like me. The opening tools on the front and retractable leg show some of the key features that are a must on something of this kind and i think lego really did an amazing job in building this project.
A Must Have
Even if you're not a Star Wars fan, this set is a must have to own and build. The best part about this set are the movements and features. It really takes on a personality. Looks amazing sitting out on display.
R2-D2 LEGO
This was really awesome Star Wars Lego collectors item. Had fun building took me approx 6 hours spread accross 3 days. Plan on modifying it and adding the Artifex Creation Light Kit.
Christmas Present to Bryan
When I saw this very unique UCS exclusive Lego set with the saw and the missile shooter, I wanted to get this for our son Bryan. He is 8 years old and have been building Lego since he was 4. He said the easiest part of R2D2 was the body. The hardest part was the legs. He definitely likes how the head can rotate 360 degrees and how the third leg can retract. Bryan completed this set all on his own and finished it in 8 hours! I also like that there is a sticker that has information about R2D2. I hope that a Lego C-3PO set will come out! I would definitely recommend this set. A collector's item.
R2-D2
Technically it wasn't a challenging build although frustrating when the front collapsed a number of times when pressing too hard to get the front plate on. This set me back trying to make sure the bricks were put back in the right place.
I think the next step would be to expand the build with MindStorms and make this droid come to life.
Overall it was a fun build and took around 7 hours to complete. Looks fantastic on my desk. End result im happy with :D
Highly recommended for adult Lego fans!
Took my boyfriend and I six hours to complete this set, and we had a great time building R2. We were continuously impressed by the level of detail this set has, and how well designed every bit of the build is, with every piece having a purpose. Enjoyed every minute of building this set and would highly recommend to any adult Lego fans or Star Wars fans. He's going to be the highlight of our Lego Star Wars sets on display!
R2-D2
This was a birthday present for my 9yr old son, Ryan,(just turned 9). He has been building legos since he was 4. Took him one day to complete R2-D2!!! Very Very proud of him. No help from Dad. Can't tell you what he's getting for christmas because he's watching me type this!!!
His review"r2d2 "was awesome and fun to build and difficult at sometimes. the head was hardest part to make. easist part was building the body. lots of cool details"
My first star wars set
This is a great set. This is also my first star wars set.
The building prices is not that special. But there is a LOT of colors in the inside of this droid. Why? I have no idea... The final model is really well designed. The little functions like r2's disc cuter are great. To retract the there leg however is quite a process.
It wood also have been great if it had wheels under it. But you can easily do this yourself.
Ratings:
-build 8/10
-valu for money 9/10
-over all 9/10 (wood have been a ten if the third leg was a little easier to extend and if it had wheels under it.)
A Great Star Wars Piece
I really do not have anything bad to say about the set except that it is a little hard to get it to stay in the leaned-back position. It looks great. Lots of moving pieces. I think it is my favorite Star Wars build yet. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Star Wars or LEGO. Great build.
