LEGO Star Wars UCS R2-D2 Comparison! (10225 vs 75308 | 2012 vs 2021)

The 2012 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Series R2-D2 has some series competition! The 75308 R2-D2 from 2021 presents a surprisingly large upgrade to the 9 year old model while retaining a $200 retail price! Each set has an R2-D2 Minifigure, Display Card, & multiple shared functions. However each set is still unique which makes for an interesting LEGO Star Wars set comparison for R2-D2 here! How much better can they get?

I’m sure someone else said this, but that part on r2’s “leg panel” constantly flipped throughout the original trilogy, so it makes sense that the older one had the buttons in the back. If you look up pictures of R2 and c3po on tattooine, or even some of R2 on dagobah, you’ll see the buttons on the back

@KingDodango Жыл бұрын

A little late to the party, but regarding the buttons on the legs, I did some digging since there are pictures in the instruction booklet showing them both on the front and the back. I found an in-deep look at the details (first result by googling "R2D2 leg buttons" and reading the first result). Turns out that it varies from movie to movie: - In ANH there are scenes where the buttons are on both positions, but most of them show the buttons on the front. - ESB and ROTJ show them at the back in all scenes. - The Prequels show them at the back in all scenes. - The Sequels show them at the front in all scenes. Now, it's most likely that the 2012 set was modeled after the prequels (since the Clone Wars 3D model didn't have any buttons), and the 2021 was modeled after the sequels. This would explain the difference in the orientation of the buttons.

With how they smoothed out the body you wonder why they left the studs along the posterior spine and at the “shoulders” with the gray 2x2 exposed studs. Overall, the odd aesthetic experiment would be the 2012 head on the 2021 body.

@taroparedes 3 жыл бұрын

I did noticed what you mentioned in minute 10:49 regarding the legs two dots located different in both sets. If you go to info page 9 from the manual you will find a photo of 4 R2 props, two of them with the dots in front and the other two with them in the back. I guess they were not paying that much of attention when assembling the astromechs. BTW, greetings from Panamá 🇵🇦

I,d argue for the parts selection in 99 that its actually pretty damn good, If you want a challenge though build one yourself using only parts available at the time and similar piece counts to the new ones. would make an interesting video / series. could even do other retro versions of newer UCS sets or modernised versions of retro ones.

One thing I really want to see from LEGO is an updated Ewok Village set but for them to also include ghost Obi wan, Yoda, and anakin. We’ve seen them do transparent arms for NINJAGO and stuff and we’ve seen transparent heads with printing on ultron and hidden side minifigs. So why couldn’t they make transparent minifigs. We’ve never seen the ghost figures. The only time we saw them in LEGO form was LEGO Star Wars TCS

I disagree with your view on piece count. Sure there are weight differentials but no matter what, the more pieces means more maneuvers for the builder to enjoy. Especially since more pieces being less in weight than less pieces means they are smaller and more intricate in detail rather than big heavy chunky pieces that have no definition.

I think it would've been better if you compared the piece count with price instead of weight. For example, how much does a set cost with a piece count of about 200. Because of what you said: even though it has more pieces it weighs less. Probably that's because it has more hollow pieces?

@cbgbricks 3 жыл бұрын

Almost all Lego pieces are hollow. Really has to do with them achieving detail using more, but smaller, pieces.
