Amazon still offers a selection of retired LEGO sets, including the highly detailed to-scale R2-D2 set, which was retired in January 2025. You can still snag this gem for $221.27, which is an 8% discount off the original price. Star Wars and LEGO have shared a rich history since 1999, producing everything from kid-friendly playsets to complex, display-worthy models. This R2-D2 set falls into the latter category, making it a must-have for any dedicated Star Wars collector due to its intricate detail and impressive size.
Although the R2-D2 set was available at a discount during Star Wars Day, it's unlikely to remain below its Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for much longer.
Retired LEGO R2-D2 Is Still Available at Amazon
LEGO R2-D2
Originally priced at $239.99, you can now save 8% and purchase it for $221.27 at Amazon. This set, with its 2,315 pieces, represents the most detailed R2-D2 LEGO has ever produced. When it was first released, IGN had the opportunity to assemble it and found the experience incredibly rewarding. Standing over a foot tall, you can pose R2-D2 in numerous ways, capturing all the iconic features seen in the movies. The third leg retracts, the front hatches open and close, and the periscope extends from R2's head. LEGO's attention to detail ensures that every element, from colors to wires, tubes, and lights, is as accurate to the screen as possible. If you manage to grab this set before it's gone, it would pair beautifully with some of the best LEGO Star Wars sets to build in 2025.
R2-D2's latest on-screen appearance was in 2021 during "The Book of Boba Fett," specifically in episode 6 titled "From the Desert Comes a Stranger." This episode is memorable for featuring a CGI de-aged Luke Skywalker, the first and last live-action appearance of bounty hunter Cad Bane, and, of course, our beloved blue and white astromech droid. We rated this episode a seven, noting that it focused more on "The Mandalorian" and nostalgic Star Wars elements than on its main protagonist.
