LEGO R2-D2 10225, a Reliable Desktop Companion

I picked up this faithful R2 unit from LEGO when I began my position as a Brittain Fellow at Georgia Tech in 2012.

It’s the 10225 R2-D2 set that was released in 2012 (shortly before I moved back to Atlanta).

It features a turning head, a little bit of wobble, arms, saw, data port interface, and a retractable third leg. It’s blockier looking than the 2021 R2-D2 75308 set, but its the blockiness that makes it endearing.

Though, be warned that R2, when left to his own devices, might try to hack your computer . . .
