would love to build this but alas funds are being saved for other build

I bought the 1st issue but looking at the 3 legs center (on pic) you can see the center join quite clearly and missing details that the original R2. So for the money not going there.

$1600 for a half sized R2?...That's pretty steep.

I built my full size one for $700. I supposed all the parts come ready to build, but jeez that's a lot of coin. I understand the falcon being expensive, because of all the intricate parts, but R2 is no where near that intricate.

Didn't know a thread had already started on this, sorry, I saw the advertisement on tv last night and just jumped on it not thinking to look first, not as good as I think it should be, bigger would have been better for £900 of my money and as stated by Darkview details not good, I'm keeping my money for my Vader build,
Yaris $700 for a full size R2 nice work :thumbsup
