Overview

This is the droid you’re looking for. R2-D2™ is an astromech droid in the Rebel Alliance from a galaxy far, far away…. The specialized tech in R2-D2 is unlike any other droid, making it as authentic as the trusty Artoo you’ve come to know and love. Control your droid with your smart device or watch it patrol on its own. Artoo’s signature front and rear LED lights are fully functional, and an integrated speaker means the beeps and boops come right from R2-D2 itself.

R2-D2 is a skilled starship mechanic and fighter pilot's assistant with many features to interact with and explore. Explore the Star Wars™ galaxy, roam iconic ship interiors, and more through augmented reality.

    Not always, they dropped to $99 bit were $200+ at first. I picked up a BB8 for my son at $99 and then had to buy R2 for $50 for myself when it came up.

  Sphero doesn't make these anymore https://support.sphero.com/category/0jfj8702ah-r-2-d-2

  So if you really want one, you might not want to wait in hopes that one day they match the EB deal from last May. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/459055

  I'm glad I got it from EB for $50, but it is super cool, and I still think $99 is reasonable for your own little, very realistic R2. He boops and beeps like the real thing, even does the bit where he pretends to be electrocuted and falls over - it's super cute!

        Yeah well cos that's BB-8 :P

        Try this one for R2

        $100USD just for the droid then $13 for a personality chip.. Gosh. The SpinMaster and U-Command BB-8s are better value and much bigger too (I have both).

  Our JB-HiFi didn't have them anymore. Only the BB9. Our Eb-games didn't have it either. So today I drove 2 hours through to pick one up for my son.

  I hope to find a BB8 with trainer as well, but none of the stores within a 2 hour drive range, has any left.

  Does anyone know if you can buy the trainer separately?
