I’m always amazed what people can build from Lego. Here’s a bunch of Artoo’s I found on Flickr

This full size Artoo is from an FAO Schwartz store somewhere in the world

I’m pretty sure this one from Comic-Con 2007 is the same design

This one is from Lego Land in California. The dome rotates, it lights work and it makes the familiar R2 sounds

Then there’s the droid development kit from Lego. I still have one myself in a box that need to be built up one day.

I used to play this game all the time as a kid.

Here’s a couple of great shots of a screen used R2 in Anakin’s Starfigher from the Star War Expo in Brazil

Don’t forget to click through to see the high-res photos showing R2 pocking through the bottom of the Starfighter (minus is feet!)

One step closer to C3PO or a Terminator….

This weekend kids of all ages help build an 8 foot Lego R2D2. Here’s some great photos from the event.

Is it just me or does the new Hasbro 3 3/4″ C3PO shown at Toy Faire last week look a lot like a Cyberman, maybe it’s just the pose.

Looks like they’re finally taking orders on that R2 Projector that’s been taunting us for months

Here’s a real cool photo of the assemble line

Limited to 4,000 and price at just over $4K. I think I’d rather invest in a micro projector for my own droid.

There’s a bunch of new Galactic Hero’s in the way from Hasbro. My favorite has got to be Sail Barge R2 with Slave Leia
