LEGO Star Wars 10225 R2-D2

LEGO Star Wars set 10225, R2-D2, depicts the astromech droid from the saga as an Ultimate Collector Series model. Released in 2012, it contains 2127 pieces and belongs to the Star Wars theme, with a figure representing the same character.

R2-D2 is a recurring droid in Star Wars and one of the saga’s most recognizable mechanical characters. Set 10225 focuses on the character rather than on a starship, vehicle, or location, placing the droid within the Ultimate Collector Series branch of the Star Wars theme.

The build uses 2127 pieces to create a brick built version of the astromech, with the compact body, light bluish gray dome, and mechanical surface detailing associated with R2-D2.

This model is most naturally suited to display and character focused collecting, while the included figure keeps it connected to the wider minifigure scale Star Wars range. Among sets in the theme, it stands apart from vehicle based releases by presenting a single droid as the main subject in a collector oriented format.
