R2D2 would be AWESOME!!! Obviously, it won't be a $10,000 prop replica that droid builders do, but with a little paint on display it would be so cool.

This is mind blowing. I can't even fathom how they did something of this scale at this price point. Crazy. If I was Stateside, I think I'd pick one up in a heartbeat... maybe do some heavy weathering on it. Hopefully they do an R2 for you guys too!

I just ordered mine plus I got my 10% military discount too.
I’d pick one up for you but I have to say, the shipping alone to you would cost you what this piece costs or more.
Yep, that's the rub, ain't it. 
I impulse bought one this morning. I will have it tomorrow. My gut tells me this thing wouldn't support the weight of something like the BS Stormtrooper helmet, but we'll see. Looks like a steal for the price IMO. And after people here who have seen it in person say so, that was enough for me.
Can I ask what blaster you have him holding?
Oh the pain… the pain
That may be true, but I didn’t spend a thousand bucks on the project and from box to build took all of eight minutes. Is it perfect? No, but come on. Just look at the pictures!
These are definitely worth the money for most of us. A little weathering and it will look great. To 99% of our guests, they'll think it's awesome. Some of us will still want to spend thousands of dollars and countless hours building a screen accurate suit for display, but there is room for both.
Sorry, it wasn’t about anyone buying these. Danny said he was jealous and I was just making fun of him, my friend, who already has armor and did a whole build series on it. Never said anything negative about this product. I’d get one if I had space and didn’t already have armor plans.

I have mine. For the price, it's pretty impressive. Better than what I expected. I'll take proper photos soon. Even without the electronics, well worth $300.

Yeah an R2 unit sounds like it would be ideal for customizing, I'd like that one a lot
It comes with four hands. You have to figure out what works best for you. However, get rid of that blaster. That’s the worst one. Get a Rubies, paint it black and a few silver highlights for the weathering. And you have to reposition his arms. (Very east to do).
