We will console ourselves for the delivery delays of our orders of the 10225 UCS R2-D2 set with this video review from Artifex which of course presents the assembly of the droid in stop-motion but which also features some nice special effects which I leave you to discover.
Artifex also took advantage of this video to present R2-D2 equipped with an LED kit which, it must be admitted, gives a whole new dimension to this set and which you can order from their online store or on eBay.
Enjoy, it lasts 5 minutes and it's pure art. And for those wondering: No, R2-D2 doesn't have wheels or casters. It's all stop-motion animation. Actually, LEGO was a bit stingy with that. Although this model is primarily intended for display, four wheels wouldn't have been too much to move it around while making that "tibibibidididi " sound ...
