This Retired R2-D2 LEGO Set Is Still Available and Discounted at Amazon

Author:Kristen Update:May 27,2025

Amazon still offers a selection of retired LEGO sets, and one standout is the highly detailed, to-scale R2-D2 set. Originally retired in January 2025, it's currently available at a discounted price of $221.27, reflecting an 8% reduction. Since the inception of the LEGO and Star Wars collaboration in 1999, fans have enjoyed a range of sets from simple playsets to elaborate models perfect for display. This R2-D2 set falls into the latter category, making it an essential piece for any avid Star Wars collector due to its intricate detail and impressive size.

While this R2-D2 set was notably on sale during Star Wars Day, we anticipate it won't remain below the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for much longer.

LEGO R2-D2

Originally priced at $239.99, you can now save 8% and purchase this set for $221.27 at Amazon. Comprising 2,315 pieces, this set stands as the most detailed R2-D2 model LEGO has produced to date. When IGN had the opportunity to assemble this set at its launch, we were thrilled with the experience. Towering over a foot tall, this R2-D2 can be posed in various ways, capturing every iconic feature from the films. The retractable third leg, operable front hatches, and extendable periscope are all meticulously designed. LEGO's commitment to accuracy shines through in every color, wire, tube, and light on R2's body, making this set a screen-accurate gem. If you manage to snag this set before it's gone, it will complement the best LEGO Star Wars sets to build in 2025 beautifully.

R2-D2's most recent on-screen appearance was in 2021's "The Book of Boba Fett," specifically in episode 6 titled "From the Desert Comes a Stranger." This episode stands out as it features 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 its focus on nostalgia and elements from "The Mandalorian" rather than its titular character.
