The model comes with a display plaque and information card. A small BB-8 figure connects to the end of the stand.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Just be aware that this BB-8 model is much smaller than the one Lego released back in 2017.

Plus, there&#8217;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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0CGY22J6Y?tag=gamespot-promos-20\" data-target=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">R2-D2<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0CV236PM6?tag=gamespot-promos-20\" data-target=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">C-3PO<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/LEGO-TBD-Star-Wars-75416\/dp\/B0DJ1BLT51?tag=gamespot-promos-20\" data-target=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Chopper<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/lego-star-wars-bb-8-astromech-droid-75452-new-release-2026\/1100-6537153\/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 569-piece BB-8 buildable figure looks like a great recreation of the lovable Astromech Droid from the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy.
