R2-D2 Reviews
Eurobricks
“This is a superb set, one of the best I have ever had the pleasure to own. Do not miss out on R2-D2.”
The Brick Fan
“Overall, this is a really nice set. Building him was very enjoyable and worth the time to make it. I think LEGO did a great job in making our favorite astro droid into a collector's item that we can construct. The dark blues and grays make the figure stand out.”
FBTB
“10225 R2-D2 is a strong entry into the UCS sculpture line, and the UCS in general. If you've got the space to display this little guy, go for it. It's nice to have a LEGO Star Wars set that isn't a starship every once in a while, even if that a while is 10 years. It was... More worth the wait, if you were waiting.”
