Amazon still has some retired LEGO sets available for purchase, including this incredibly detailed to-scale R2-D2 set that was retired in January 2025. You can still snag it for $221.27, which is an 8% discount off its original price. LEGO and Star Wars have shared a rich history since 1999, offering fans everything from simple playsets to elaborate, display-worthy models. This R2-D2 set falls into the latter category and is a stunning addition to any Star Wars enthusiast's collection due to its intricate detail and impressive size.
Although this R2-D2 set was recently discounted during Star Wars Day, we anticipate that it won't 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 purchase it for $221.27 at Amazon. This 2,315-piece set is the most detailed R2-D2 LEGO has ever produced. IGN had the opportunity to build this set upon its release and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Standing over a foot tall, you can pose R2-D2 in various ways, and every feature from the movies is meticulously included. The third leg is retractable, the front hatches open and close, and the periscope extends from R2's head. LEGO's commitment to detail ensures that every color, wire, tube, and light on R2's body is as screen-accurate as possible. If you manage to grab 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, in episode 6 of "The Book of Boba Fett," titled "From the Desert Comes a Stranger." This episode is notable for featuring 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 focused more on "The Mandalorian" and the nostalgic elements of Star Wars than on its protagonist.
