Amazon still has some retired LEGO sets available for purchase, and one standout is the incredibly detailed, to-scale R2-D2 set. Retired in January 2025, you can still snag this masterpiece for $221.27, which is an 8% discount off the original price. Star Wars and LEGO have a storied history together, starting from 1999, with sets ranging from kid-friendly playsets to sophisticated models perfect for display. The R2-D2 set definitely falls into the latter category, offering an exquisite addition to any Star Wars enthusiast's collection.

This R2-D2 set was recently on sale during Star Wars Day, but don't expect it to stay below the manufacturer's suggested retail price (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. Comprising 2,315 pieces, this set is the most detailed R2-D2 LEGO has ever released. IGN had the pleasure of building this set upon its release and found the experience delightful. Standing over a foot tall, this model allows for various posing options and includes every feature you'd expect from the movies. The retractable third leg, openable front hatches, and extendable periscope are all meticulously crafted. LEGO's commitment to accuracy shines through in every color, wire, tube, and light on R2's body, making this set a must-have for fans. If you can grab it before it's gone, it pairs wonderfully with the best LEGO Star Wars sets to build in 2025.

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 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 nostalgic Star Wars elements over its protagonist.
