Feels that way a bit. I guess R2 is Sideshow's 'swan song' for the old... From Jedi Luke to R2. The Decade that was.

If you are able to offer external switching on this like you do with Vader, mark me down for an order!

I called and asked sideshow and asked about December and said YES he is expected to arrive on Time.
R2 to be Home 4 Holidays.

Rep'd.
He needs to arrive first week of December to guarantee time to sort (usually a week) and then time to ship (possibly another week for some).
But good news all the same. I'm really looking forward to the figure -- moreso than any previous figure since Grievous. I'm pretty sure R2 will be more fun than Grievous.

Kind of feels like R2 was value priced in order to get people to over pay for C-3PO... If you average the two it's like $190 a figure
When you on my get R2 its not a problem.
Exactly!

Agree... Grievous is really an incredible achievement, but not much fun as he's very complicated and seems like it'd be easy to snap a limb and he only "kind of" stands on his own.
R2 will just be a fun one to play around

Yep, can't wait to roll him around on my table and make silly beeping sounds like a true dork.
I am not normally a fan of sound chips. But on R2 I would have made an exception. Beep and whirls would have been great.

Yeah, a sound function on him would have been pretty fun.

Sorry all. I have't seen R2 on any recent shipping updates, so I can only say that he's still estimated for December as I type this (since that is what is currently on the site). If he gets pushed back to January then the site will be updated accordingly.

Thanks Alex.
We'll burn this place to the ground, Alex. Burn it. To. The ground. Just saying.

Given that R2 seems far more desirable than 3PO to most people, wouldn't overpricing R2 and underpricing 3PO have made more sense (if they did indeed see R2 and 3PO as a "set" sold separately)?
It's funny how they seem to have gone out of their way to over-accessorize R2 and yet price him really affordably, but 3PO they go $80 higher and give him nothing but a wires-shoulder-stump to sweeten the deal.
This cannot happen. R2 + Christmas Tree = Joy in the world.
Sweet, he looks awesome in all these pics and that video I'd never seen
This is definitely one of the droids I've been looking for.
