Un graded in reasonable condition you're looking at £70 +.for a Kenner one.
I ended up buying the complete Droid Factory when one came up at a reasonable price rather than spend about the same on just the R2.
Good luck with your hunt.

Not sure on price but do know Palitoy is more than Kenner

Why is that Carl? Surely both are the same parts, same R2? How do you tell a Kenner Droids Factory R2 to a Palitoy Droids Factory R2?

I believe the sticker is different, although I couldn't tell you the what the differences are

i just paid 25 for one without a sticker or middle leg, but from looking, 60+ seems the going rate like others have said if you want it complete.

It used to be cheaper buying a beat up kenner droid factory from the states to acquire our 3 legged friend, that's what I did anyway. They're much tighter on customs these days though, so perhaps today, that's not financially viable.

I must compare my palitoy and kenner sets to see if the stickers are different, since I never realised that.

Hi all, Does anyone have a Droids Factory R2 as I need it's side legs measured please to the nearest milimetre. Mine are a little short and wondered if this is normal?

P.s. Phil, PM sent my friend. :)

thanks for the pm mate, have to say yours looks great have no clue about the legs though lol

Thank you Phil. It's in great conditon but has yellowed all round slightly, more an off white as the photo's show it whiter than it is. But happy with it overall. Just curious about it's short legs, lol.

Looked closely at my Droids Factory R2 last night and it is very similar.
With my one it all depends on how far the middle leg is inserted into the body.
I wouldn't have any concerns with this one, if you do you are welcome to send it to me, as that really is in great condition!
