R2-D2: The dream.

I first saw Star Wars when I was 4 years old. Since then "it has forever ruled my destiny". As a kid I always dreamed of having my own R2-D2. As I grew up thoughts of having my own R2 faded over time. Until my buddy Tony and I started creating Darth Vader costumes for Halloween in August of 2005. And I happen to come across the R2 Builders Club on Yahoo Groups.



I first found the R2 Builders Club while doing some research for my Vader costume in September 2005, In October of 2005 I joined the group.

I quickly discovered that building my very own 1:1 RC controlled R2 was going to be a much longer, much more expensive, and a much more in depth project than I originally thought it was going to be.

Here we are six years later and I'm finally getting started realizing my childhood dream of owning my very own R2 unit.
