The 569-piece BB-8 buildable figure looks like a great recreation of the lovable Astromech Droid from the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. The model comes with a display plaque and information card. A small BB-8 figure connects to the end of the stand.
Interactive features include an openable front hatch with a burner arm in his chest cavity, just like in The Force Awakens, and a movable head that rotates in random directions when you slide BB-8 across a flat surface.
Just be aware that this BB-8 model is much smaller than the one Lego released back in 2017. The new BB-8 (model No. 75452) is just over 3 inches tall, whereas the 1,106-piece build (model No. 75187) was over 10 inches tall.
On the positive side, the smaller-sized BB-8 is a more detailed replica of the droid. Plus, there’s a practical reason for this BB-8 to be smaller. Lego designed BB-8 to be accurate in terms of scale when compared to other buildable droids released over the past two years, including R2-D2, C-3PO, and Chopper.
