LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 Building Toy Set - Play or Display Star Wars Toy for Boys & Girls, Ages 10+ - Gift Ideas for Kids & Fans - Includes 25th Anniversary Darth Malak Minifigure - 75379

Our son has wanted this for a while and we put it off because of price. Found it here for 20% off and couldn't resist. Son spent 4 hours building and the design is great. He had a blast and loves that it works for display or if he wants to take it down and defend the galaxy against the dark side. He also likes the spare pieces because he uses them to build his own creations. Great value for the money and fun for kids young and old! May the Force be With You!

I bought this having already bought and built 75308. This set is about half the price of that set and about half the size, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's inferior. It has about half the bricks of the previous set and isn't as detailed due to its size, but for a much lower price point, that is to be expected. I like the smaller size and I think the details it does have looks good on it. The only thing I don't really care for is the accessories. The larger build allowed for the different Artoo arms to fold up into the body. The accessories here involve you taking off the panel and replacing it with the accessory. It's fine, but you run the risk of either losing the panel or losing the accessory. The middle leg also doesn't go up into the body, it attaches to the bottom. Probably harder to lose, though.This set doesn't have the black box of the other adult oriented sets, but I would say this set is probably more adult friendly than kid friendly. I don't have any kids, though. It was easier to put together, even with the technics skeleton. The skeleton of the bigger set is way more intricate, so this might be a little more kid friendly.I think regardless of whether or not you have the bigger set, this is a good set to get. Also, it comes with a Darth Malak minifigure (from Knights of the Old Republic) and an R2D2...which if you build and collect Lego Star Wars sets, you probably have a lot of by now. I'd love to see them make a similar set, but with Chopper.

Let’s be honest, LEGOS aren’t like the ones we grew up with. They’re more detailed and cost much more than when we were kids. On the plus side you can now make really awesome things like this R2D2. It goes together right and doesn’t fall apart when you pick it up. Join the light side and grab one while you can, the force compels you!

I bought this LEGO R2-D2 set to celebrate May the 4th and it did not disappoint! I was able to complete the build in one day. It was a fun, rewarding experience from start to finish. The level of detail is incredible, and it really captures the personality of R2-D2. A must-have for any Star Wars or LEGO fan. This was the perfect way to spend the day!

I bought this lego set for my son for his birthday! It's a great value for the money and it didn't take him long to build it because he was so excited about it. It has movable parts which makes it extra fun. All the pieces were included and it looks great!

A mi hijo le encantó, fue divertido armarlo, se ve muy real, excelente calidad

My son (8) completedbthis Lego set in 2-days (started the night we got it and finished the next day). Each bag of Legos had some extra pieces. It's exactly as described and he had so much fun building it.

R2D2 looks fantastic on the shelf. Fun build. Buy this!
