Really cool Droid !. Been following the build on and off for years !. Very interesting series. Glad he came together smoothly. Thanks for sharing this!. Cheers !.
Wow! Very cool, my son and I have the original R2D2 plastic droids and this does what we always wished those did and more! Thanks for another wonderful video!
Randomly got recommended your millennium falcon build then after watching a handful of your videos saw this r2d2. I instantly subscribed to you and fanhome! I’ll be back to this video in 2 years😂
My wife purchased this subscription for my 52nd birthday this Wednesday, October 4th, 2023. It’s hard to imagine working on this for the next few years. I’m actually nervous about the prospect of if I’ll actually be alive to see it completed.
Don't worry!! Look, I finished my DeAgostini version some months ago, and now that FanHome has released it, I'm buying another. A few points: You will get to a point to install the device that pops up the light saber. That assembly has wires at the bottom that can be messed up when the head rotates. Just pay attention. Know, also, that you will need CA (or "super glue") occasionally. The light saber specifically. Don't worry, just take your time. Enjoy!!
Woohoo R2 is done! Well that did take a long time I would say it was worth it I mean it won't take everybody else as long as it's taking you because they're not making a video about it but it's a very cool Droid.
I agree. Although, there was a lot that I fast forwarded through and edited out. The structure in the head is the most difficult part due to so many screws.
They delivered a light saber. So you do have something to open the bags with -g- Can it recognize all family members? You could use him as a courier. Record a videomessage for someone, have him find the person and play the hologram. The app looks well thought out. He looks amazing. And the size seems to be just right for appartments. But 2 years.. This is too long for me. Sure, it's a big model and the pieces come monthly. But i have to dedicate a table for it or constantly put everything away and pull it out again. And i would worry if the company lives that long. I would love it as a 3d printable kit and buy the electronics pack. I would worry so much less about getting the parts and if i break something.
I have all 26 boxes completing my build this year. So it doesn’t come with the batteries can you please link the ones you got here and or in the description? I’ll get them too!
I'm very skeptical when it comes to these sort of things...but have to admit, the functionality is pretty cool, especially projecting the Leia hologram.
That last circuit board in the static-proof package? If you live in a dry climate beware of static electricity from your fingers. A little care will go a long way!
I don't know why I can't see my comment from earlier but the comments are only the top ones and the newest ones. I'm wondering how you made the gap in R2’s head and body come together, I watched episode 25 to see if it was in there but it wasn't and I don't see how you finish it in this video either, I know it's going to be a problem and I want to know how to overcome it from someone that has already built him. It seems like there's not a gap anymore in this video so what did you do to fix it?
The phone App? When my R2 was finished I downloaded the Android version. Worked, difficult to connect. THEN my phone(s) updated to Android 12 or 13, which the App doesn't support. Bought an iPad to see if the Apple ios version works.
Hi, I'm in the US and I was trying to us it for R2D2 but after posting this message I found another recently posted video advertising R2D2 with a different promo code and that also did not work for me so I think it might be an issue on either my end or the companies end so I have emailed them about the situation. Thank you, though, for your response!
@YourGeekFix I did, but still no luck, unfortunately. I'm thinking it is something on their end, or possibly mine, that might be the cause, so I'm going to wait until I hear back from them to place my order.
@@YourGeekFix I have the old Hasbro model, circa early 2000's, which looks about the same size as this one but not nearly the same build quality. It could take commands like 'Go On Patrol', 'Do You Remember?' (followed by star wars character name), but the 'Dance Program' was my 3-year-old niece's favorite, so that one's stuck in my head forever. Sadly one of his wheels is broken, so I may have to get this one to relive the magic.
That is only a tracking code. There are several 50% off coupons this month to other Fanhome builds like the millennium falcon, Optimus Prime and infinity gauntlet. Id recommend checking in google, fanhome coupon code, and watch for the R2D2 build.

Awesome!
2 years is defiantly too long to put in for me to wait for parts. Rather pay up front for all boxes. It is really kool to see it complete
Went fast for me.
I wonder of fanhome do a backorder category. If so you could simply order all the parts at once.
Freaking Awesome! definitely worth it!!!!
I like him.

That's a grim outcome. Trust me, it goes fast. Take your time with it.

He does even more, but I'll share that in the wrap up.

They are in one of the videos. I had to buy flashlights that came with them

It also plays Luke hologram giving away the droids to Jaba.
When done, how much would one end up paying for the kit?
It depends on when exactly you purchase, if you use a coupon, and where you live.

Great advice!
I wanted too get that build , buts not available. But I’m doing the etco1 , just started the bat mobile, and I preordered the delorean
Awesome!
where did you get your case to keep the extra screws and parts in?
For r2, they sent me one. But you cab grt a dollar store med pill box.
@@YourGeekFix interesting, I haven’t received one with my build.
@scottweigner6535 I got it about half way in.

If you had a link,, or someone comments with language,, yourube holds it for review. The gap between is still there. That's how it turns.
I’m just starting out on building this myself and was wondering, once complete, how long can he go without needing recharged?
I ran him all day at a conference.
Be sure to read a head and get the batteries before hand

I have that version of android, works fine.
This R2 unit is really cool... would love to make it but I think it would come up for too much in Canadian.... if they ship to Canada
You could check the website.
I 'm am looking to being a subscription for the kit but your promo code is coming up as invalid. Do you have another promo code we could try?
That should be it. Are you in the US or elsewhere? R2D2 is only for R2D2, TONYSTARK for the Iron Man model.
If subscribing in September, you can try NEWROCKSTARS for 15% off.

@@jessicamccormic9669 sure! Did you try the other code I sent for discount?
@YourGeekFix I did, but still no luck, unfortunately. I'm thinking it is something on their end, or possibly mine, that might be the cause, so I'm going to wait until I hear back from them to place my order.
How much did each box cost
I didn't pay for it. The cost depends on when you subscribed and the coupon code you use. Also, where you live. Best thing to do is contact them.
2 years already?
It went faster than I thought
U. a.trac 😊
Thanks
Can you say 'dance program' to it?
Yes! How did you know. Dance is one of his preprogrammed functions. He also sings while he does.
