If You Must Know, This Is And Will Remain The Greatest Version Of R2-R9

Posted by Paul | December 07, 2011 at 11:51 PM ET

One of the nicest surprises collectors ever received from Hasbro was the update to the pack-in figure that originally came in the Naboo Royal Royal Starship, updated for release in the Commemorative Tin collections. That original 1999 pack-in figure was simply called "Red R2 Unit" on the packaging, but the 2006 TAC Commemorative Tin update got a real name: R2-R9. This astromech droid is coming again in the Walmart exclusive "Discover The Force" promotion, but it will be the third unique sculpt of this droid because it's utilizing the Build A Droid sculpt. The version in this eBay post is unequivocally the best version (based on the 2004 VOTC R2-D2 sculpt), and we highly recommend getting it for your collection before it's gone forever. (It's deemed rare by the seller - we tend to agree with him.)
