Amazon still offers some retired LEGO sets, and if you're a Star Wars fan, you're in luck. The intricately detailed, to-scale R2-D2 set, which was retired in January 2025, is still available for purchase at a discounted price of $221.27, marking an 8% reduction from its original price. Since LEGO and Star Wars first teamed up in 1999, the collaboration has produced a wide range of sets, from simple playsets for kids to sophisticated display models. This R2-D2 set definitely falls into the latter category, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Although this set saw a price drop during Star Wars Day, it's unlikely to remain below its Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for much longer. So, if you're interested, now's the time to act.
Retired LEGO R2-D2 Is Still Available at Amazon
LEGO R2-D2
Originally priced at $239.99, you can now save 8% and buy this set for $221.27 on Amazon. With 2,315 pieces, this is the most detailed R2-D2 set LEGO has ever produced. IGN had the pleasure of assembling this set upon its release and found the experience delightful. At over a foot tall, R2-D2 can be posed in various ways, and all the iconic features from the movies are included. The retractable third leg, openable front hatches, and extendable periscope are all meticulously crafted. LEGO's commitment to accuracy is evident in every color, wire, tube, and light on R2-D2's body. If you manage to snag this set before it's gone, it will complement some of the best LEGO Star Wars sets to build in 2025 perfectly.
R2-D2's most recent on-screen appearance was in 2021, during episode 6 of "The Book of Boba Fett," 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 its focus on nostalgic Star Wars elements and "The Mandalorian" rather than its protagonist.
