R5-A2 can be seen roaming the streets of Mos Eisley, when Luke and Ben are trying to find a passage to Alderaan. The figure was available as a build-a-droid during the fantastic Legacy Collection, meaning you needed to buy four figures, one for left and right leg each, one for the torso, and one for the head and middle leg. I had the two legs already. When I posted a while ago about how I threw away my packagings and gathered all droid parts that were still lingering in them, @detaleader responded and offered to trade parts. So with his help I got the torso—thanks a lot @detaleader! With another lucky strike I found a cheap Sandstorm Luke with R5-A2s head and middle leg and now here we are. The R5 droid always was very special for me as R5-D4 was the droid that survived all through my childhood, while Artoo died several terrible deaths or simply went lost. Also there always was something about the head/dome, that fascinated me. So it’s great to welcome another R5 droid to my collection, this time even in my favorite color. My next build-a-droid project is R3-M3, the blue Astromech droid with the transparent dome, that can be seen on the Death Star just before Obi-Wan and Vader meet. I’m only missing R3-M3’s right leg.
