Retired R2-D2 LEGO Set: Now Discounted on Amazon

Attention, LEGO and Star Wars enthusiasts! Amazon is still offering some retired LEGO sets, and among them is the meticulously crafted, to-scale R2-D2 set that was officially retired in January 2025. Now available at a special price of $221.27, you can enjoy an 8% discount off the original price. Since 1999, LEGO and Star Wars have shared a storied partnership, producing sets ranging from simple playsets for kids to sophisticated models that serve as stunning display pieces. This R2-D2 model definitely belongs to the latter category, boasting an impressive level of detail that any Star Wars fan would be proud to showcase in their collection.

While this R2-D2 set was recently featured in a Star Wars Day sale, don't expect it to remain below its Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for long. If you're a fan, now is the perfect time to grab this iconic droid.

Retired LEGO R2-D2 Is Still Available at Amazon

LEGO R2-D2

Originally priced at $239.99, you can now purchase this 2,315-piece set for just $221.27 on Amazon. This is the most detailed R2-D2 LEGO set released to date. When it first launched, IGN had the pleasure of assembling it and found the experience delightful. Standing over a foot tall, this model allows you to pose R2-D2 in various ways, capturing all the beloved features seen in the movies. From the retractable third leg to the openable front hatches and the extendable periscope, every detail is meticulously crafted. LEGO's commitment to accuracy shines through in this set, with every color, wire, tube, and light on R2-D2's body perfectly replicating the on-screen droid. If you can secure this set before it's gone, it will complement some of the best LEGO Star Wars sets to build in 2025.

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 was significant 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 "The Mandalorian" and the nostalgic reuse of Star Wars elements over its protagonist.
