So the R5-D4 astromech appears as sw029 and sw029a (and the sandcrawler version of sw142).

I'm just puzzled about sw029 and sw029a.

The domes for each droid are slightly different and apparently sw029a is the rarer version.

Here are their entries on Bricklink...

I am just trying to work out from which set each version comes.

As far as I can see, Bricklink references both droids as coming from the set 7658 Y-wing Fighter. So did LEGO make the 7658 Y-wing set with both versions of this astromech’s head in?

I also looked on Brickset which is quite reliable for minifigure references and they have sw029 as coming from set 7658, but they have no entry for the sw029a version.

I just wondered if anyone has worked this out before.

Sometimes lego makes tiny variations and released the set without any change in number. I think this may be going on here. The difference is probably so minute that it doesn't matter.
