The LEGO Group has just revealed the new LEGO® Star Wars™ R2-D2™ construction set which was launched in conjunction with the 50th-anniversary celebration of Lucasfilm. R2-D2™ can now be rebuilt in detail with the 2,314 piece set which is by far the most feature-packed version released by the company.
Fans can now enjoy the R2-D2’s unique retractable mid-leg, rotating head and a periscope just like in the movies. There are also hidden tools like a lightsaber hilt hidden in a secret compartment in the head. Kronvold Frederiksen, Creative Lead of LEGO Star Wars at the LEGO Group said, as published by LEGO,
“We have had the pleasure of creating hundreds of Star Wars-inspired models over the past two decades since we first launched LEGO Star Wars sets. As Lucasfilm celebrates their 50th anniversary, it seemed fitting to challenge ourselves and push the limits of what is possible with LEGO bricks by recreating a fan-favourite Star Wars character in great detail like we have never achieved before. We are delighted with the result and hope our fans get as much joy out of building the sets as we did designing it.”
If you are looking for a fun and immersive building experience, this set is perfect for you. The replica will also be an impressive display when finished together with the set’s exclusive minifigure version of the iconic droid and a special Lucasfilm 50th anniversary LEGO brick. The set will be available exclusively from LEGO.com and LEGO Stores globally from 1st May 2021 priced from 199 USD (about RM820 before tax).
