R2/ R5 leg - snapped leg is fine

[RetroRyan]

Hi everyone,

I am after a spare leg for an old R2 i had as a kid, i was given it by a family friend back in the day and was in bad shape (no legs, no sticker) so i repainted the top with some silver paint my dad must have had in the garage and cut out an R2 chest image from a magazine and later found a leg off an R5 at a carboot if i remember. its poorly repaired, if you can even call it that (as you would expect for a 10 year old) and looks like crap, but has a ton of sentimental value and memories and would like another leg so i could actually display it standing up.

Any knackered R2 or R5 leg is fine, even a broken one is OK as i can still use it with a repair.

Cheers.

Ha ha those figures are the most valuable, the ones with sentimental value. Good luck with the search.

Yeah good luck with hunting one of them down, will be hard but you never know!

Thanks.

I would have thought loads of people would have broken parts for droids lying around in a spares box, but it appears not unless they have all been thrown away.

I'm pretty sure I have a spare R2 leg in my odds-and-ends box - just drop me a PM and I'll pop it in the post. Do share a pic with us all when you're finished

True story: I had a pop-up saber R2 as a kid that I later 'converted' to be a T-BOB M.A.S.K figure. An unfortunate (and expensive) error in retrospect. Still hunting for a saber to complete my loose run!

PM'd!

Thanks.

Have you got a R2 leg yet? There is an R2 on ebay with only one leg at the moment.
