Lucasfilm is celebrating 50 years of amazing storytelling, and what better way to commemorate it than with the brand-new LEGO R2-D2 set? Number 75308, this detailed and intricate set pays tribute to one of the most iconic characters in all of Star Wars.

Consisting of a whopping 2,314 pieces, this impressive build stands approximately one foot tall and comes with an R2-D2 mini figure, Lucasfilm 50th anniversary brick, display stand, and information plaque. The features are endless when it comes to this remarkable recreation of R2-D2. An updated model from the original, there's a retractable mid-leg for stability that can be folded up or down for different options. On top of that, you have the rotating head, which hides Luke Skywalker's lightsaber hilt behind a hatch door, plus an extendable front hatch for further additions or accessories. What's more, it is an extendable periscope that lets you spy further into galaxies far away.
