Lego Star Wars R2D2
Most of the more elaborate Star Wars Lego kits we've seen have been dedicated to space ships/cruisers/battle stations, so it's refreshing to see an entire 2127 pieces dedicated to a single character. Building this Lego Star Wars R2D2 ($240) set will yield you a strikingly accurate rendition of everyone's favorite bleeping, blooping droid, standing over a foot tall and featuring a retractable third leg, front panels that open to reveal a universal computer interface arm and a circular saw, a rotating head, and a fact plaque complete with mini R2D2 figure.
