Retired R2-D2 LEGO Set: Discounted on Amazon

Amazon still has some retired LEGO sets available for purchase, including the super detailed to-scale R2-D2 set that was retired in January 2025. You can grab it for $221.27, which is an 8% discount off the original price. Star Wars and LEGO have shared a rich history since 1999, offering a range from kid-friendly playsets to sophisticated display models. The R2-D2 set falls into the latter category, making it a must-have for any Star Wars aficionado due to its intricate detail and impressive size.

Although this R2-D2 set saw a price drop during Star Wars Day, don't expect it to stay below MSRP for long.

Retired LEGO R2-D2 Is Still Available at Amazon

LEGO R2-D2

Originally priced at $239.99, you can now save 8% and buy it for $221.27 at Amazon. This 2,315-piece set is the most detailed R2-D2 model LEGO has ever released. When it first hit the market, IGN had the pleasure of assembling it and found the process delightful. Standing over a foot tall, this R2-D2 can be posed in various ways, and it includes all the iconic features from the movies. The retractable third leg, openable front hatches, and extendable periscope add to its charm. LEGO has meticulously captured every aspect of R2-D2, ensuring screen-accurate colors, wires, tubes, and lights. If you manage to snag this set before it's gone, it would complement the best LEGO Star Wars sets to build in 2025 perfectly.

R2-D2's latest on-screen appearance was in 2021, featured in episode 6 of "The Book of Boba Fett" titled "From the Desert Comes a Stranger." This episode is memorable for the return of 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 leaned more towards showcasing "The Mandalorian" and nostalgic Star Wars elements than focusing on its protagonist.
