R2-d2

I'm trying to collect every 3 3/4" R2-D2 variation possible. From Autographed to Asian and Bilogo to Bootlegs. If there's a difference I want it. I'm also collecting R2-D2 odds and ends specifically that are shaped like R2 (not like chip bags w/picture). Although not a major priority, These items are growing on me rapidly

Just spotted my last post in this thread. Has a year gone by so quickly? Apparently!

Things sure do change in a year. I'm now mostly chasing Pewter items. I've got almost a full set (including some mega rare items), but a few still elude me. Its all in the chase though, ain't it ? :)
