I've seen two different people with this same issue in a photo... WTF does it mean???
It means R2 has a hole in his head
j/k the projector on the top of his dome has been pushed in during shipping, or maybe not put there at all.

the end of the world of course........
nah, I contacted ssc and hopefully they just send a replacement. I think I could fix it if I set my mind to it but I would rather not. does anyone know if light comes out of that part? it doesn't have a wire to it that I can see but does have a place on the bottom that looks as if it could.
and the projector is loose inside the dome.
Given how delicate these apparently are, I'm surprised they didn't all crumble completely to pieces during delivery.

thanks qbomb. it's loose inside and I might be able to fish it out but the rubber grommet is making that a bit of a chore and I would rather not risk breaking anything in the process of trying.
Well, Sideshow is sending Flosi and whole new dome... although he hasn't confirmed that.
So much detail when you really look. Even inside the projector lens...

I shouldn't have bought that!
Well i gotta say i think R2 is great. My one came with no issues. Even if i turn him upside down only the top panels want to open, the blue panels on his front are tight and need slight force to open up. He is indeed pretty fragile, but owning grevious, it was'nt anything i could'nt handle or anticipate for. Just take your time with him.
The lightsaber compartment was a cool idea, but on the figure, is not practical. And i don't think it's worth breaking him to store it in there.
Here's how i set him up for now, sorry about the crappy quick pics
Great job SSC imo ! !
Also can't wait to upgrade 3po and Chewy

Received mine. Joints and feet are tight. I found nothing floppy about the compartment doors. My son said "it feels like a toy". Oh well.

Got a big scratch on the eye and the two long compartments won't sit flush. Other than that, I'm quite pleased, lol.

Anyone have photos of the Hasbro R2 next to Sideshow's? If there already is a comparison pic in this thread already just point me to it.

Couple of quick crappy pics of my R2...
Outside of the left panel being a little loose R2 is pretty solid. I don't get all the "He's really fragile" comments. Like someone said earlier, some of you guys must have gorilla hands with the grace of a bull in a china closet.

Anyway I'm really happy to have R2 in my collection. Bring on 3PO!

I posted one in my review thread. The Hasbro is much smaller.

All the studios have rigorous requirements that factories making licensed products must meet. Disney is one of the toughest. I'd imagine Lucasfilm was equally so. Another reason licensed product is more expensive than bootlegs.
Artoo Detoowha!! Now what to do? Catch up on the couple of days on this thread and then unbox, or unbox first?
