I’m honestly blown away by this set! The level of detail is incredible, and you can really tell that every piece was designed with care. Putting it together is super satisfying, and the finished model looks amazing—so polished and realistic. If you love building things that are both fun and beautiful, this set is definitely worth it!

Got this for my son. He loves building them and displaying them. Good quality, get a new one as a gift often. They’re not too difficult so he can do them on his own

My wife is into puzzles. I came across these 3D puzzles. I started trying it out by purchasing the X-Wing Fighter. My wife loved assembling the puzzle. The resulting assembled piece becomes a great decor for your home or office. From then I started buying different kinds including this R2D2. The details on these are awesome. When displayed, you wouldn't even think they are made of carton/paper. The puzzle provides enough challenge for my wife but not to difficult that it becomes frustrating. This piece is my wife's favorite due to it's size. When displayed, it is very imposing.

I actually built this R2 unit completely on this TV tray.. okay the discarded leftovers I removed. (Also be ready for tons of those little punched out bits, they're probably want to clean those up periodically) I didn't use the glue that came with it(I give it a try on some pieces, just not impressed, but nice to included something!), it was kind of gel like, and took way too long to dry! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GRAB SOME OF THESE LITTLE SUPER GLUES! The force is strong with this glue! I built this entirely used the little tool that comes with it to punch out the holes(I did consider using one of those keychain size spark plug gap circle things you get at the front counter at an auto parts store), but what I did first was put a layer of super glue (someone else had mentioned this trick, not my idea... Also if you use super glue, keep some acetone on hand because you will get it on you at some point!) on the top bottom and sides of the tongues that stick out, and where they connect at the oval neck to reinforce this area. Once that dried, in a few minutes I was able to use this tool the whole time! ... And if they start to bend again, just do it again with the glue! I only glued areas that were high stress, or I knew would connect to other areas and need a little bit of reinforcing. I would put a drop of glue on a connected joint on the back side and let it wick in, or around the perimeter of a full connected seam. Sometimes you can have tabs tear away from the paper when removing them from the frame, just grab them and pull down and away, and then hold the back piece and pull the paper away cleanly and squarely. Next you're going to have tabs that despite your best efforts get floppy or crushed, just add a little bit of super glue to the perimeter of the tab, give it a few minutes to dry and it will be stiff and ready to go!... You can also use the tab poke tool to expand some slots. I completely used those two full little super glues, bone dry! With the last one finishing up right towards the end. Critical review: close up it can look a bit rough, but easily a 5-footer! And considering the engineering that went into a lot of the construction, no complaint! Read the instructions, and take your time. Only found a few pieces, that were a little too vague, and required test fitting, which you don't want to do a lot of or you will start to wear out the tabs and the slot! Engineering wise, there's only two main vertical runners supporting the mid and bottom internal core ring... This can lend to a bit of instability at the core, because during assembly you will be gripping it as a whole and you will notice some slight shearing/twisting, which will affect fit, ultimately working out, but a bit fiddly during assembly. Always look at the connections leading to connections, so you know where to put pressure, and more specifically where not to! Overall, if one takes their time, it's a day's build, but I built it over a few days, hours here and there. Had lots of fun! I imagine myself building an actual R2 unit from scratch! Update: X-Wing Amazon won't let me review this separate for some reason. :⁠-⁠\ But it's GREAT! I didn't use any super glue on this model, but may on the rear folding sections over the main body... They keep popping out. Aside from some challenges on the cylinders of the engines and guns( don't be surprised if one or two micro tabs get crushed here, plenty to hold and keep shape. Now into the REAL CHALLENGE, the little R2 unit. Take a deep breath, take your time remember Yoda and the lessons of the swamps. Looks great from every angle! Putting it on the stand....meh a bit wobbly. Not the stand just the ship on it. Space Oddity...the inside of one of my wings has the squadron designation...I don't think I could have built it wrong... But maybe someone else had this as well...either way, you don't really notice it that much...keep telling yourself that! As a nitpick...WHAT graphics person put ALL those stars(looks like dust or a bad print) to distract from the X-Wing and Death star art!? On a side note, I also did the complete build upon the same TV tray, this way you can see if you don't have a kitchen table or large area, these two can be done in a limited space! May the force be with you, always. I also put a pic of how I put super glue on the tips of the supplies tool to make it last a full build! Pic is after building the X-Wing.

I purchased this for my 10 year old grandson and he loved it. He wanted to start putting it together right away. It seems very sturdy and he didn't use any of the glue that came with it, even though he may eventually use some to reinforce some of the fittings. But even without the glue it is solid. It was easy to use and the instructions were clear. It had all the parts and he was happy with this gift.

LEGOS are so expensive that this was a good compromise. It was worth it. Fun to put togeather and a great size. When done I was surprise on how good it looked. Would recommend to anyone. The only critique I have is the tool that comes with the kit was also made with the same card stock as the parts and after a few uses it bent and was no longer useful to poke out the smaller parts. I would suggest the company replaced it with something more sturdy like wood. Besides that atotol fan and will buy an other one.

Okay so I am into Legos and I put together some of the harder and more difficult ones. I had been looking at the Lego R2D2 but I just was having trouble justifying the over $200 price tag. I happened to see this 4D puzzle on sale and picked it up for around $12. I wasn't sure of the quality but when it arrived I could not believe how high quality this was. This took me about 4 days to complete and I had such fun working on it. This looks better than the Lego R2D2 that I would have put together and it was a fraction of the cost. I also noticed on their site that they have some Hogwarts things like the train as well as Hogwarts Castle and they are humongous. In fact, the Hogwarts Castle takes up an entire coffee table and I think you can pick it up for around $40. I know my daughter is buying me Thor's hammer and iron Man's helmet for Christmas and they are life-size. The detail of the models are show quality. I had such fun putting them together and cannot wait to display them in my office.

I purchased this for a 5 year old, but we needed to do it together - and really, he popped out the pieces, and I assembled. The pieces are easy to pop because the cardboard is thick, but he could not do a lot more on his own. The pack needed more glue because the pieces would shift during construction and needed some stability. Elmers glue worked just fine. I even glued the connections and let it dry before moving on to another section of the book so that it had time to dry together. Overall, the end result was amazing. I would recommend for teen to adult.

I really enjoyed building this model, and it looks exactly like the pictures. I'm quite impressed by how sturdy it is. It took about 2 days for me to build this though I took my time. I already bought another kit from the same brand, can't wait to build it.

Parfait pour la collection!

Bellísimo, fácil de armar y viene con todas las piezas completas. Tarde 5 horas en armarlo

Sturdy, well coloured construction!

Me gusto mucho el R2 D2, un poco complicado el armado porque las cejas de las piezas luego se doblaban, peor de ahi en fuera todo bien, ya armado no parece de carton, se ve muy padre. Comprare los demás para armar mi colección.
