[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 506712, member: 7379"] Sorry Andy, but I believe you are wrong on that. The connectors are the same, as are all of the actual droid plastic parts of the two playsets. The differences are solely in the bases, stickers, cranes and boxes. The R2's only become different due to the stickers that you apply to them. I will say that the blue paint on my particular Palitoy R2 dome is a darker shade than my Kenner one, but without a larger sample size of both playsets' R2's I wouldn't like to say that it's an actual variation. I suspect it's not a bona fide paint variation and may simply be due to a slightly greater / lesser paint application during manufacturing, and or perhaps some fading in the intervening decades, but I am happy to be corrected on that if I'm wrong. In the meantime, here are some close-up comparison photos of the two droids and how the dome attaches :-): [ATTACH type="full" alt="3-Legged Comparison 01.jpg"]53571._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="3-Legged Comparison 02.jpg"]53572._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="3-Legged Comparison 03.jpg"]53573._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="3-Legged Comparison 04.jpg"]53574._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="3-Legged Comparison 05.jpg"]53575._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="3-Legged Comparison 06.jpg"]53576._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="3-Legged Comparison 07.jpg"]53577._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
