Lego R2-D2 Will Be Available Tonight Ahead Of Star Wars Day
Lego R2-D2 Will Be Available Tonight Ahead Of Star Wars Day-October 2024
Oct 31, 2024 3:24 PM

  Lego's new Star Wars R2-D2 set will be available to order tonight, April 30 at 9 PM PT / 12 AM ET. This is Lego's most elaborate build of the iconic droid yet. The massive set is exclusive to the Lego Store, which means it might sell out pretty fast. Lego R2-D2 is releasing just in time for Star Wars Day next week.

  

Lego R2-D2

$200

  Lego R2-D2 is quite pricey at $200, but it's one of Lego's more in-depth Star Wars builds. The 2,314-piece set stands at just over a foot tall when built. Aiming for authenticity, Lego has included some neat features with this build. You can rotate R2-D2's head and retract his middle leg. It also has a front hatch that opens and extends as well as a movable periscope. As an added bonus, Luke Skywalker's lightsaber is tucked inside R2-D2's head for safe storage.

  See at Lego Store

  As with all major Lego sets, R2-D2 comes with a commemorative plaque with facts about the droid. This plaque is more special than usual, though, as it highlights the 50th anniversary of Lucasfilm and includes a small R2-D2 figure that sits on top of the plaque.

  In other Lego news, Luigi is joining the Lego Super Mario lineup. The Luigi Starter Course releases August 1 and is available to preorder now at multiple retailers, including the Lego Store and Best Buy.
