Since this droid uses the build-a-droid sculpt, you can incorporate\/interchange its components with other B.A.D.s to create custom astromechs. For added play value, G8-R3 includes the droid power station accessory that is compatible with other astromechs and the 1999 Naboo Royal Starship vehicle\/playset.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONS:<\/strong>\u00a0It utilizes the build-a-droid mold so it has those superfluous holes in the body, which some find unsightly. This figure is exclusive to Walmart and, as of yet, there are no plans for its release elsewhere. Its limited availability may prove to be difficult for for some collectors to find.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/MH12\/DTF\/DTF04.html\">Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.<\/p>\n<p>You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Yakfacecom\/202559486798?ref=mf\">facebook<\/a>\u00a0and in our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/\">forums.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide\u00a0updates resume today with the next addition for\u00a0the\u00a02012 &#8220;Darth Maul&#8221; product line.
