"Retired R2-D2 LEGO Set Now on Sale at Amazon"

by Emma May 20,2025

Amazon is currently offering some retired LEGO sets for purchase, including the highly detailed, to-scale R2-D2 set that was officially retired in January 2025. You can snag this set for $221.27, which is an 8% discount off the original price. Star Wars and LEGO have a storied partnership that began in 1999, resulting in a wide range of sets from simple play kits to sophisticated display models. The R2-D2 set falls into the latter category, making it a prized possession for any Star Wars aficionado due to its intricate details and impressive size.

Although this R2-D2 set was available at a reduced price during Star Wars Day, we anticipate that it won't stay below its 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 get it for $221.27 at Amazon. This 2,315-piece set is the most detailed R2-D2 LEGO has ever produced. When it was first released, IGN had the opportunity to assemble it and found the experience thoroughly enjoyable. Standing over a foot tall, this model allows for versatile posing. All the iconic features from the movies are included: the retractable third leg, opening and closing front hatches, and an extendable periscope. LEGO's commitment to accuracy shines through in every aspect of this set, from the colors to the wires, tubes, and lights on R2's body. If you manage to secure 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 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 notable 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 its focus on "The Mandalorian" and the nostalgic elements of Star Wars over its protagonist.
