Celebrate Star Wars 30th Anniversary by inviting this movie-accurate droid into your life. Once the loyal companion to Queen Amdala, this utility droid is programmed to be your devoted helper and friend. Help him get ready to serve you by snapping his steering legs into place and attaching the projector piece to his domed top. You'll need to use a Phillips screwdriver to insert four "AA" batteries and four "D" cell batteries in his side.
More than 15-inches tall, this sophisticated R2-D2 model boasts a secret cargo compartment, a unique swing-down utility arm that's also a beverage holder, a removable sensor scope, a working light beam, sound-processing microphones, and an adaptable droid mood-status indicator. Sonar navigational technology and infrared location sensors help make him one the most advanced droids around.
Take Advantage of Three Interactive Modes
Intergalactic missions will be more fun with a reliable droid at your side. In companion mode, R2-D2 responds to commands like "Go on patrol," "Light Beam," and "Play Message." Star Wars fans are sure to appreciate the accuracy of the messages, which are culled from famous missions he remembers.
You can even ask R2 about friends including Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, Darth Vader, and Jabba the Hutt. He has a different reaction to each name based on his "feelings" for the characters. And if you hit R2 on the head, he'll make irritated beeping sounds and try to move away from you. As you get to know your droid, you'll realize that the noises and motions he makes correspond to his "mood."
In game mode, R2 responds to more complicated commands. He'll act as a sentry to protect your important stuff, dance to cantina music, spin around, or play light tag. The third mode is the most complex. This command mode lets you give pointed directions that control R2's movements. Tell him to turn left and right or go forward whenever you want, or set a preprogrammed course for him to follow.
While R2 responded to simple commands with no problems, we had difficulty getting him to respond reliably to more complex requests. We trust that, like with any voice-operated electronic system, over time it will get easier to produce a wider range of commands that R2 consistently responds to. Until then, his movie-accurate look, the way he responds to simple commands, and the convenient beverage holder make him a fun comrade.

Customer Review: Too Much FUN!
I just got this the other day, when Amazon had it in the Lightning Deals, as a Christmas present for my son. Amazon shipped the next day and it arrived the day after that. I unboxed it and put the batteries in to make sure it worked before I put it under the tree next week [4-D & 4-AA]. Let me tell you - this thing is so much fun I didn't want to put it away! The voice recognition is very good; the infrared sensor really makes it seem like he's alive; the sounds he makes and his "temperment" are super! I haven't yet tried the "secret commands" another user posted, but I'm sure we will come Christmas Day. An excellent droid - I should have bought two!
Customer Review: I've had mine for years
My wife bought this for me for Christmas a few years ago now. I still have it in our bedroom and take it down for laughs occasionally. My 9 year old son loves it and it's funny to see it try to avoid the dogs and cat. It's cool to see a toy with so much sensory perception. To me it seems like this is one of those toys where you can see advancement in the technology and it makes you realize how fast things are changing. This is really a great find.
