This thread will be like my previous builds (links below).

Intro :
While waiting for the missing 10173 elements to arrive, i decided to build 10125. It was recently picked up on eBay for $109 shipped (used, no box). The $179.99 set was introduced in May 2012 and consists of 2,127 elements including a R2D2 minifig that was recently refreshed.

The elements are in 15 bags.

For more pictures of the box, please refer to this review found on eurobricks.

Like other builds, I'll will walk through the building process, take pics, discuss various topics like elements used / how, and provide a recap.

Bricklink's element inventory of this set is ...

The 4 reddish brown "Hose, Flexible 12L with Tabbed Dark Bluish Gray Ends" elements are exclusive to this set and can cause some difficulty in bricklinking this set (usually costs about $2.50 -$4.. The UCS sticker sells for about $10. For more details about harder to obtain elements, refer to Grolim 's review.

Here is the Lego Designer video of this set.

 looking good or shall i say, "looking smooth".  ha.

i still need to work on mine.  the bagged elements been sitting in a drawer for the longest time.

Finally got around to putting these pieces on to smooth the dome, looks great!

I believe however that the above list is missing two 1x2 dark blue tiles, and two 2x2 dark blue tiles (or whatever combination of plates you want to use) for the very top of R2's head.
