This set measures 10.5 inches (27 cm) high, 9 inches (24 cm) wide, and 4 inches (11 cm) deep. There is also a buildable snow scene that comes with the set.

Each set also comes with a plaque and a stand to make them great room decorations or displayable figures.

(15 cm) deep.
The abundance of pieces means that the set will be a movie-accurate recreation of R2-D2.

The set also comes with an exclusive mini-figure version of R2-D2 and a Lucasfilm 50th anniversary LEGO brick.
