I'm amazed that, despite the head being rotated, it's actualy printed
level. That's gotta be a misprint!

It is interesting that all the colours are aligned correctly on an unaligned
part, so they must be doing "wet-on-wet" printing - printing one colour directly
after another without moving the part.

Almost certainly a misprint but something that I think will be worth something
to the right person as its set at a nice rotating angle and whilst you can always
set heads at a full 90 degrees where its facing out from the side that angle
always looks a bit forced. I think someone would appreciate something like that
for a display scene compared with always having their astromech droids facing
forwards the whole time 
In fact rather than re-releasing almost identical R2-D2's it would be a nice
touch if Lego intentionally made some like this to give a bit more variation
to what is otherwise a difficult minifigure to make look unique when compared
with other minifig characters.
I have lots of those heads and they look to all be facing forwards from what
I can tell

Of course with it being a relatively new set there is always the possibility
that someone doing the set inventory assumed it was the same version as what
appears in the other sets but given the Lego site has images of this minifig
facing forwards I can't imaging it to be an intentional difference?

the listing page? I don't want the buyer to have to buy a certain amount
of a particular item. I just want them to be able to buy the amount they want
so what number do I put in this box ? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
