Guest TabbyBoy Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 A nice set, but has nowhere near as much appeal as R2-D2. I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the kids I know like BB8 more than R2. Until he has a bigger role in the new Star Wars films, your statement will only apply to old crustys like Crustybeaver who've been fans of Star Wars since the original films and the prequels. That price point is appealing too. R2 was always a bit on the expensive side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 They will make a great pair like X Wing and Tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozial Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 This thing is going to be good after EOL if picked up with discount upto 40% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwraith Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I have the same problem with this model as i did with R2-D2; the circular parts look too "blocky". With R2 i fixed his round dome by adding the infamous cheese slops and tiles to his dome and he looks great, however i'm not sure that method will work as well (if at all) with this set, willing to try though, at the very least he will look good next to R2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliminator Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Would someone please compare this guy to the UCS R2. Are they to scale with each other? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klownicle Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Is this an exclusive? It's not showing up in Targets system when I scan the UPC. Reports of it showing up in store at Walmart so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Nice little set. I don't think it's up to UCS standards, but it will be very popular regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
