Love this lil guy - great gift for kids but a great showpiece for Star Wars fans, too. I bought when this was ~$99 last year - would make a great Christmas present or bargain buy if you have always wanted one but found the RRP too expensive!
BB-8 and BB-9E are on sale, too.
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.
