zskid00 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I remember when R2 was released with poster promo, limited edition of 48,480...all gone in a month... The promo poster was shipped with all orders in May 2012, not just purchases of R2. Quote
johnwray Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Well, at least the guy did not throw it away... Maybe I should laminate it or something.. At least plastic pouch perhaps? I had mine professionally framed, but it got a little messed up before that. It was all wrinkled when I bought the set, so I researched ways to smooth out the paper with a warm iron like many dealers do with comic books. But I effed it up and some of the black ink came off of the front. Oh well. Looks pretty sweet in the frame regardless. Quote

Sozial Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Today I wrote Lego Germany an email regarding the R2D2 and, as some other people said, it is out production and Lego does not plan to produce it again. If you like I can quote the email but you have to use google translate since it is written in german. and I am in for 6 more Quote

trekgate502 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Jais, sroster & Ed - thanks guys. After going to Lego Indy Kidsfest and being behind, I so much want to drive around the 3 neighboring states and scoop up R2's. However I am a bit tired, behind and needing to get paperwork caught up. (its a hobby not my job). So since I never go over the LEGO Shop at Home limits combining stores & LEGO Shop at Home purchases I think I am going to abstain. Do not want a ban hammer over it. Very few of my R2's came from LEGO Shop at Home. Quote
No More Monkeys Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 dang, Amazon is shipping R2D2 in S8 boxes, which are skin-tight for R2D2. so, no pillows, no paper, nothing :-( Quote

33Lego Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 how did you find out? NMM is king of logic and king of anything !!! Quote
jaisonline Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 dang, Amazon is shipping R2D2 in S8 boxes, which are skin-tight for R2D2. so, no pillows, no paper, nothing :-( might still be better for what Target is doing with mine. they are shipping my 5 10225s in ONE box. that's 33.3 pounds of 100% pure 10225 r2d2. oh beep, beep, chirp, 5 Quote
mscheaf Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 dang, Amazon is shipping R2D2 in S8 boxes, which are skin-tight for R2D2. so, no pillows, no paper, nothing :-( Hope they like giving discounts Quote
Marzipan Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) As of a recent check, there are still some R2's in the BM Lego stores by me (Chicago, Schaumburg, Orland Park). Picking mine up today and then will have reached my goal. Also this high quality, super well designed guy is part of buy 1 get 1 for $1 at the disneystore.com. Would look awesome with 10225 display as the scale is pretty close. I also really like the combination of plush and lego together...makes for an interesting looking set. http://www.disneystore.com/yoda-plush-star-wars-small-12/mp/1358678/1000267/ Edited November 12, 2014 by Marzipan 1 Quote
No More Monkeys Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 how did you find out? By receiving them today. Ordered 2 in a single order on monday. Each was shipped in a separate S8 box. one had just minor bumps on ends, another not so lucky: Quote

trekgate502 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 So far from Amazon this week I have gotten 2 shipments of 2 and they have both been very tight in a P7 labeled box (if I am reading that correctly). So far they are all doing well. Not mint but very good and better than 1/2 of my Target orders. Quote
holleman67 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 ouch. are you gonna try get a discount from amazon? I wouldn't abuse that with such a small dent. Do that too many times and they ban you from buying. 1 Quote
