![]() If you’re a Lego or Star Wars fan who missed out (or, like me, had one that was lost during the course of a move), your only option has been the aftermarket, where prices for the trusty little droid have skyrocketed new copies of the set often sell for double or even triple its original price. ![]() ![]() The 2013 R2-D2 set released for $179.99, $20 less than the current one, but it’s been discontinued for years. While the original model only offers a pop-up scomp link and buzz saw, the 2021 iteration swaps out the saw for a manipulator arm adds the retractable periscope from Return of the Jedi and, in what might be my favorite new addition, features a hidden pop-out Lego version of Luke’s green lightsaber (perfect for rescuing your buddies from a giant space slug’s sand barge). The updated R2-D2 also has more hidden features. The 2021 (left) and 2013 (right) Lego R2-D2 models / Images: Lego
