How well do LEGO Star Wars 75308 R2-D2 and 75187 BB-8 display together?
The LEGO Star Wars theme’s latest buildable character 75308 R2-D2 is now on shelves – but how well does it pair with 2017’s 75187 BB-8? While the sequel trilogy ball droid is no longer available to buy through primary channels (which is to say you’ll need to turn to the secondary market), it’s a fair…
LEGO Star Wars 75308 R2-D2 review
Star Wars’ most memorable droid rolls back into the LEGO portfolio with 75308 R2-D2, displaying all the finesse you’d expect of a brick-built character in 2021. Given the LEGO Group’s recent propensity for large scale models of Star Wars characters in 75187 BB-8, 75255 Yoda, 75278 D-O and 75318 The Child, it was basically just…

LEGO Star Wars 75308 R2-D2 available now
Beep, bop: the brand new LEGO Star Wars 75308 R2-D2 is now available to buy from LEGO.com and in LEGO Stores. It’s the first large-scale version of the Star Wars galaxy’s most iconic (and arguably most important) astromech since 2012’s 10225 R2-D2, and brings the design of the droid closer in line with 75187 BB-8…
Comparing classic and new LEGO Star Wars UCS R2-D2s
As part of this year’s May the Fourth Celebrations, the LEGO Group are releasing a new model of the iconic R2-D2 astromech, but how does it stack up to the original? 75308 R2-D2 isn’t the first set dedicated to the droid, as in 2012 10225 R2-D2 released as the first brick-built iteration of the character, not including some earlier…
Seriously, though: it’s high time we had a new LEGO R2-D2 minifigure
75308 R2-D2 looks like a smart, carefully considered and feature-packed update of 10225 R2-D2 – but it also represents a huge missed opportunity to bring us a new Artoo LEGO Star Wars minifigure. Redesigns are to LEGO Star Wars as J.J. Abrams is to mystery boxes: the two are inextricably intertwined, often way beyond the…

Watch 75308 R2-D2 come to life in a video that shows off the LEGO Star Wars droid’s functions, including a retractable third leg and a hidden lightsaber hilt.
