LEGOStar Wars R2-D2 Building Toy Set - Play or Display Star Wars Toy for Boys & Girls, Ages 10+ - Gift Ideas for Kids & Fans - Includes 25th Anniversary Darth Malak Minifigure - 75379

I bought this having already bought and built 75308. This set is about half the price of that set and about half the size, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's inferior. It has about half the bricks of the previous set and isn't as detailed due to its size, but for a much lower price point, that is to be expected. I like the smaller size and I think the details it does have looks good on it. The only thing I don't really care for is the accessories. The larger build allowed for the different Artoo arms to fold up into the body. The accessories here involve you taking off the panel and replacing it with the accessory. It's fine, but you run the risk of either losing the panel or losing the accessory. The middle leg also doesn't go up into the body, it attaches to the bottom. Probably harder to lose, though.This set doesn't have the black box of the other adult oriented sets, but I would say this set is probably more adult friendly than kid friendly. I don't have any kids, though. It was easier to put together, even with the technics skeleton. The skeleton of the bigger set is way more intricate, so this might be a little more kid friendly.I think regardless of whether or not you have the bigger set, this is a good set to get. Also, it comes with a Darth Malak minifigure (from Knights of the Old Republic) and an R2D2...which if you build and collect Lego Star Wars sets, you probably have a lot of by now. I'd love to see them make a similar set, but with Chopper.

My son (8) completedbthis Lego set in 2-days (started the night we got it and finished the next day). Each bag of Legos had some extra pieces. It's exactly as described and he had so much fun building it.

R2D2 looks fantastic on the shelf. Fun build. Buy this!

Good set

This was a challenging puzzle and well worth the time! My son has it on display!

My son was thrilled with this lego set. He said it was the prefect size for display and to play with. It looks nice on his beside table. It took him a few hours to build it and he was happily showing me the progress along the way. He was impressed with the extra plaque and mini figure it comes with, as well.

Love r2d2 . Great fun build. Looks great on display.

Best gift for lego star wars fans. My friend had a blast building it, and loved the figures it came with.
