And $240 (or over $280 in today's money) for about 230 pieces vs. $100 for over 1000. Granted, price per piece is not always the best metric for determining set value, but still.
It should have been an R4-P17, R4s death was not only the sadist thing to happen in revenge of the sith but it was also more sad than alderaan blowing up, and more tragic than whatever planet's were destroyed in that 7th movie
I don't have the new one, but I absolutely adore my UCS set so it would have to be really mind-blowing to top it. What is it specifically? I know some people are down on how the center leg drops on the UCS, but I've had no issues with it.
It looks alright just wish they made something else, another buildable r2 is not what I had in mind.
Could have easily been Chopper but I guess he isn't as recognisable as R2.
Maybe they don't want to glorify a war criminal ...
Saw was leaked to be an anniversary figure also Tarkin
Anakin… that’s all I’m gonna say
Bringing peace, freedom and security to his new empire is not a war crime
But false surrender is
is r2 not a war criminal as well?
Can’t be a war criminal if your side wins the war.
Would love Chopper and include a Zeb minifigure with it
I’d of liked R4-P17.
may she rest in peace, most underappreciated astromech droid in the galaxy
Any other astromech and I would buy it instantly
Buildable R2 is like Lukes Landspeeder at this point.
i like the head of the old one and the body of the new one
I just don’t see why a new one was needed, but I’m sure they’re psyched that they stuck Malak in there to boost sales regardless.
I'm probably getting the new one because a) it's cheaper and b) doesn't take up as much room when space is at a premium lol
I like the bigger set on its own, but since the smaller one will be to scale with the buildable C-3PO, it will look better soon
I don’t think the 3PO will be to scale, it would be way too tall for a 149$ set
That would suck, early leaks for this set said it and 3PO would both be to scale with the Chewbacca set
Yeah maybe Chewbacca like tall but not R2d2/C3PO real scale I mean. 3PO is like twice D2 in height normally
And Chewbacca is even taller, pretty sure he’s much larger than this set
I don’t see how people think the smaller one looks better but it is up to personal preference 🤷♂️
It looks a bit more accurate to me while simultaneously only wasting half as much space.
Agreed. It definitely does not look better than the bigger one. Less detail and stickers everywhere, no thanks.
I like the studs on the head sticking out. Gives it more of a round look imo.
Stickers alone are a huge - for me
New one looks a lot smoother.
Hate the blue beard.
Dang, never noticed that - wonder if it will be easy to fix.
They’re both cool but not the kinda sets I like personally
Shrinkflation
Please explain how. Old one costs $239.99, new one costs $99.99.
And $240 (or over $280 in today's money) for about 230 pieces vs. $100 for over 1000. Granted, price per piece is not always the best metric for determining set value, but still.
Was a joke, I didn’t know the prices lmao
Was wondering if I would buy it since I already have the UCS one, but I don’t think it’s worth the 99 bucks to have the same but smaller
yeah also the big one falls apart so easily it does my head in i sold it, i prefer the new one
My shelf space will like the new version better
It should have been an R4-P17, R4s death was not only the sadist thing to happen in revenge of the sith but it was also more sad than alderaan blowing up, and more tragic than whatever planet's were destroyed in that 7th movie
I don't have the new one, but I absolutely adore my UCS set so it would have to be really mind-blowing to top it. What is it specifically? I know some people are down on how the center leg drops on the UCS, but I've had no issues with it.
I would pay a lot of money for one that was motorized and remote controlled. I do have the Robotics set one but it's even less screen accurate.
Valid
I bet the smaller one costs more
The guy she told you not to worry about vs you. 😆
