Here’s the official unveiling of everyone’s favorite astromech, 10225 R2-D2. The good news: it comes out in May. The bad news: it’s $180 bucks. Or $230 if you’re really unlucky and live in the great white north. Still, you do get over 2,000 pieces with it, 2,127 to be exact.
Maybe Shop@Home will have some sort of sale or promotion attached to it for their annual May the Fourth Be With You sale.
