. Bring Home Your Own Astromech Droid
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 , 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.
What's in the Box

Newly programmed at our ultra-modern factory, this
state-of-the-art R2 series astromech droid unit is ready to obey
your commands. Grab his attention by saying "Hey, R2" and he's
ready for more than 40 voice commands. Ask him if he remembers
his famous friends, like Luke Skywalker, C-3PO or Jabba the Hutt.
Each name will stir up a different response depending on R2's
"feelings" for that character. Just a few of R2's amazing
attributes include moving along on his own, turning his front
beam on and off, and even playing a secret message when you
follow the proper voice commands. In "Game" mode, R2 plays
multiple games and spins, dances and plays music. He even guards
your room with his sentry alarm. Once you've mastered R2's
companion and game modes, move on to command mode for plotting
real-time maneuvering or programmed courses for R2 to follow. R2
also boasts a secret cargo compartment and a unique swing-down
utility arm that's also a beverage holder.
