Build R2 from Deagostini

tobedesu · Feb 17, 2016

After the Falcon build, Deagostini brings the R2-D2 build.

Pic courtsey of JediNews instagram.
Apparently it will go through a "test" release, probably meaning that, as usual for these big kits, you will need several hundred pounds to finish it.

Oh **** I like the look of this!
Nice little father/daughter project - as long as it ends up on my desk

This is so tempting as a father and son build

This looks interesting, especially the scale of it but I wonder if people are still building the Millennium falcon as I haven't heard an update from anyone?

I'm so gutted at being vetoed on the Falcon I may have to do this out of spite! Such a shame it's not the full size deal, though. I'd sooner pay twice as much for the 1:1 size as opposed to this price for a 1:2. That said, this looks incredibly cool!

£893 to build R2 after buying all 100 issues

Seriously tempted in this one.. Wasn't allowed the Falcon, so hopefully I might be able to sneak this one in.

Think I may do this one
Has anyone started it :?:

Sean1Sgaming · Feb 22, 2016

I keep looking at this one but still not decided yet. Will have a serious think as I would love to do it!

MarkG · Feb 23, 2016

There is talk going around about the dome.

If it's a single piece then will be worth doing, but if 2 or more pieces it's going to look awful.

Will have to wait on clarification on this.

Sean1Sgaming · Feb 25, 2016

Yeah I think with 2 piece's it would look awful but will have to see on that front. Has this been released because I haven't seen it in any of my local newsagents? Or is it just an online thing?

MarkG · Feb 25, 2016

There have been issues found in shops but it's best to buy online..... however....

This is currently on a test run, so only 5 issues or so will be produced. If sales are good, it will start a new full run later in the year.

If you do subscribe you'll get a refund on the test issues if they do bring a full 100 issue run out.

Dorsetmark · Feb 25, 2016

I've gone for it

Sean1Sgaming · Feb 26, 2016

I'll keep looking around but holding off getting it online until I have physically seen one to see the quality properly.

Anyone come across this?
Haven't spotted this in WH Smiths who usually have this sort of thimg where I live.
