Here's a list from astromech.netTK3015 wrote:Does anyone know what parts we need for a complete R2?
Are there any plans/parts lists available?
Based on that list, we'd be looking at $3.5k
Depending on what the droid is made of (eg. aluminum or wood), the price really varies. Fully aluminum ones can go all the way to $10k
