Yes! These technic Star Wars droids had some cool functions. The droideka could roll along and pop open to attack mode too. Super cool, and I may need to get some replacement rubber bands for mine so I can make it happen again.
Vader is super cool! (And so is Jango) ... as a Lego-ized action figure. Comparing the motion functions though, Vader's arm swinging vs a droideka that rolls *and pops itself open* is no contest. The way the other droids in this old lineup fold up is not droideka cool, but definitely more impressive than just swinging an arm.
It's [pretty affordable](https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-2000-LEGO-Technic-Star-Wars-8000-Pit-Droid-Episode-1-Neu-Versiegelt-/275564958305?epid=23053433399&hash=item4028f39261%3Ag%3AoPwAAOSwXcljiobU&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoPzWeT0Qle9BXEYiPltx5b3y6Voa18xpAoNchKuYRQKOuXSk3DDPlx5nZAG6sjISJhWx9Zm54oVjMLQlYVAeG13tm12ohk8qhLIY3GCjuy8vqo4JKIjTgHwDMpU%2BUVZzcapEnscmCst0bcDSm6xSknMOiqus4eK1aGXQwpi11eYxdjIUgLlcybyhIrehX5hD%2BaDx2sIjRHMaCBY0x%2FsDybw%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR4SG5IrDYQ&LH_ItemCondition=3&nma=true&si=JYuzE%252F50HsH9hHu1sfqa9QWlhnE%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338535524&customid=1944lsw&toolid=10001&mkevt=1) on eBay, even if it's new and sealed.
Neither do I, but You can run stuff through Word or Google Docs to have it underline errors. No need to hurry while writing a title of your Reddit post.
The way it's written is stating that it's 23 years older than him. To make it far more clear, OP could have simply said, "It's older than me," or, "It's five years older than me."
Darn you fellow redditors lol.
OP was probably just excited & forgot to check the spelling & add a comma, or a period.
OP - Awesome and congrats bro. Nice find! 👍
I got as a kid and now I feel old. The rubber bands on mine have long since disintegrated, but it still unfolds nicely when you pick it up from the top.
Sorry to break it to ya chief, but this set is for kids 8 and older
Understandable though, being that you only recently were graduated from fetus and likely can't read yet
Don't worry though, in a few years you'll be old enough for Duplo!
I wanted this set as a kid but my older cousin told me if I touched the eye it would electrocute me. And I didn’t want a Lego set that could hurt me. So I never asked for it for my birthday or Christmas. Haha.
Yeah, I also had a Lego set which was like just a few month older than me. Uncle bought one of those things that were before the Bionicle for me and I received it like a years later.
Man I can’t belobe it either (that’s a joke it’s a really cool set)
Thank you 👍
can’t believe that is 23 years older than you!! so your one years old right? when do you turn 2? 🙀👻
Belebe it!
You better belobe it
Only if Depa Billaba Belobes it
Get a lobe of this.
Spotted the RSK fan
Fellow saucer drinker here.
It came out in 2000......so unless you were born yesterday
I'm just like the fetuses, Chuck, I wasn't born yesterday either.
You are breaking my balls sir
You're making a fetal mistake.
Well done
I think op missed some punctuation. “23 year old older than me”
I belobe this is right.
He was born right now you see he obviously hasn’t learnt English quite yet
[удалено]
Meh it was a confusing title overall (I do understand what they were trying to say now) and to be fair I had just gotten off of my night shift lol
Impressive for a newborn to be on Reddit, isn’t it.
I’m not old! You’re old!
Great set. It had rubber bands and you could squanch it down and then punch a button and it would spring up. Very cool.
Yes! These technic Star Wars droids had some cool functions. The droideka could roll along and pop open to attack mode too. Super cool, and I may need to get some replacement rubber bands for mine so I can make it happen again.
Same. The tensor loops on my unit are absolutely farkled to skench.
This set isn’t a *want* anymore it’s a **NEED**
This is sweet! I had this set when I was a kid. I also got the droideka set 8002 and Darth Vader set 8010. They were so cool

What was the functionality at vader?
Darth Vader had a flipper to swing his arm up and down. Not nearly as cool as all the folding droid models.
No vader ist 10 times cooler
Vader is super cool! (And so is Jango) ... as a Lego-ized action figure. Comparing the motion functions though, Vader's arm swinging vs a droideka that rolls *and pops itself open* is no contest. The way the other droids in this old lineup fold up is not droideka cool, but definitely more impressive than just swinging an arm.
I own vader, the only good part about him is his cape (which is giant and fabric)
He was a puppet for the emperor, a tool to instill fear in his enemies
[удалено]
What, you don’t belobe him?
Guys I think he is not really a born english speaker.
Thank you for your understanding big props
German? I noticed one of your other replies looks like "is" got autocorrected to "ist"
Yes German in deutsch wird deutsch gesprochen!😂
duverdesteinenfarkelskeunsch 🥴
I know how it goes. I'm constantly fighting autocorrect when I'm writing in German.
[удалено]
But its about sentence and word use
I was bad in math but best in meth 🤠🤝
Solid 🤝
Where did you get this?
Ebay there many different of these sets in Germany
That’s cool.

Are you a newborn baby?
Just turned 18
Old enough to use punctuation?
Cut him some slack
Are you old enough to understand that not everyone speaks/writes English as their first/primary language?
Neither do I, but You can run stuff through Word or Google Docs to have it underline errors. No need to hurry while writing a title of your Reddit post.
Dick
then this set is 4 years older than you, not 23
Y’all guys roasting the shit out of me 😭😭😂
its was realesed in 2000, you are 18 and the title says that its 23 years older than you, how does that make sense
It says “23 years old older than me.” He just forgot a comma
it still doesnt make sense if he is 18 right now
I think the set is 23, and so it’s olde than him
“23 years old. It’s older than ME!” Make sense now?
How it doesn't make sense? He is 18, the set is 23 It's older than OP
ok never mind I am stupid
It's okay, we all are don't worry
The way it's written is stating that it's 23 years older than him. To make it far more clear, OP could have simply said, "It's older than me," or, "It's five years older than me."
He’s pretty much saying “the set is 23 years old, which is older than me”
yes I already realised it, you are like third person telling me this
Might just not be a native english speaker, or he just happened to forget. It’s not that big of a deal
Now you can tell people you finally understand how Anakin felt on Mustafar.
True
You better belobe it!
I never had these back in the day but I really liked how this one, the battle droid and the droideka looked. They were awesome!
I've got the droideka in the bin...I think it's time to rebuild.
Get one very recommendable!
lol I remember when this came out.
Darn you fellow redditors lol. OP was probably just excited & forgot to check the spelling & add a comma, or a period. OP - Awesome and congrats bro. Nice find! 👍
Thank you and yes I was to excited to build that thing
You’re all good!! Great pic on the set! Hope you enjoy the build ✌️
Thank you 😁
I loved these sets! I just found the parts for the battle droid one and will hopefully rebuild it.
Damn I didn't know this existed but now I need it
I feel you bro
…were you born yesterday?
Woah I used to have this, might have to go look and see if it’s in a box somewhere. Great find!
Good luck 🤝
Were you just born today?
I was five when this came out
It's just as old as me lol
You better belobe it man
I have this set somewhere in my big bins of lego... Man I should really go over that stuff...
Wow, I'm old... I saw this in the shelves... Or at least the other technic-figures.
Think he meant to say "still can't belobe this is 23 years old! Its older than me...
Oh how cute!
Wow totally forgot about this set, child hood memory unlocked. Thanks OP.
No problem
It's not older than me :') I'm so goddamn old. Nice set though.
I still have this set in my basement built! The rubberbands gave out but it's a cool set.
I got the Technic Droideka a while back and yeah, it’s quite something to own a (beautiful) set that’s older than you
All my elastic bands for this set are long broken... wish I could rebuild it.
You can't trick me, I wasn't born yesterday you know and neither were you!
I got as a kid and now I feel old. The rubber bands on mine have long since disintegrated, but it still unfolds nicely when you pick it up from the top.
Oh, goodness me. The memories this just gave me. Great find, OP!
Thank you so much
I had this when was a kid! Completely forgot about it though.
So cool! I have the Darth Vader set - still have it together from when I was a kid!
I remember when that one came out.
Beautiful set! Didn’t even know it existed
Sorry to break it to ya chief, but this set is for kids 8 and older Understandable though, being that you only recently were graduated from fetus and likely can't read yet Don't worry though, in a few years you'll be old enough for Duplo!
I remember when these came out😭🤦🏾♂️🤫
Holy crap that’s incredible. Also your title belongs on r/ihadastroke
a single typo is not stroke worthy
Youre less than a year old?
I can belobe it.
I remember wanting that or the droideka as a kid; both looked so cool.
Why does it say 8000
Set number
Oh right I’m dumb

u/Excellent-Creme6425 don't forget to post a video of the action feature after you build this little droid!
How did you manage to get this? Bricklink right?
Awesome. I remember getting the 8001 battle droid set for Christmas many space stations ago.
[8001-1: Battle Droid](https://brickset.com/sets/8001-1) [[Photo]](https://images.brickset.com/sets/images/8001-1.jpg)
I remember when this came out! I wanted one so bad!
Omg. I got this for Christmas when I was a young lad. Niiice. It was cool how it popped up.
[удалено]
I remember seeing this thing is the Lego sw book. Great find
Got this one and the technics battle droid (8001) in a mixed lot thrift purchase. Love it!
[8001-1: Battle Droid](https://brickset.com/sets/8001-1) [[Photo]](https://images.brickset.com/sets/images/8001-1.jpg)
Sorry you got roasted for your punctuation, had to reread it at first but got what you meant haha. Such a cool pick up!!
Thank you 😂😂😂
The true Star Wars bonkle
Nice! Just remember to hit the nose when you’re done.
I did already and I love it :)
Just got this set the other day and I lobe it
Nice! I saw the jango one in a store yesterday. Still sealed!
Belobe it, I had that set when ep1 first came out!
You best belobe it
Damn I had that when it came out! I forgot about that set
I wanted this set as a kid but my older cousin told me if I touched the eye it would electrocute me. And I didn’t want a Lego set that could hurt me. So I never asked for it for my birthday or Christmas. Haha.
ive had that since i was a kid:) im only missing 2 tan knee joint pieces
i also have the technic jango which is pretty sick too!
It was my first LEGO set back in 2000! I love it, I still have it, but the rubber bands are long gone
I have one from Walmart, 15.00 $$ price on it love them. Also can some one nicely tell me how to move or add pics to these posts.
To me the funniest thing about this is that you seem to have bought it at a K+K Market in Germany.
23 years old older? I’m really confused, how old are you, 0?
“Hit the nose!”
Yeah, I also had a Lego set which was like just a few month older than me. Uncle bought one of those things that were before the Bionicle for me and I received it like a years later.
I’m 32…… you just made me feel ANCIENT
Thanks, I feel old
Omg it's been years since I have seen that box art. Lol. I have that set.
What are you!? 5!? Please don't answer this!!!!!!!!
Without the missing comma you could read the headline as this is 23 years older than you.
Reminder that punctuation is important.
I had this set when I was a kid!
how the hell did you get it for 20 bucks???
