Retired R2-D2 LEGO Set: Discounted on Amazon

Amazon still has some retired LEGO sets available for purchase, and one standout is the super detailed, to-scale R2-D2 set. Retired in January 2025, you can still snag it for $221.27, which is an 8% discount off the original price. Star Wars and LEGO have a storied partnership that began in 1999, offering everything from simple playsets for kids to complex, display-worthy models. This 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 was recently discounted during Star Wars Day, we don't expect it to remain 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 delightful. Standing over a foot tall, this R2-D2 model is fully posable, featuring all the iconic elements from the movies. The retractable third leg, openable front hatches, and extendable periscope are meticulously crafted. LEGO's commitment to accuracy is evident in every color, wire, tube, and light on R2's body, making this set a perfect addition to any collection. 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 "The Book of Boba Fett" episode 6, 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 that it focused more on "The Mandalorian" and nostalgic Star Wars elements than on its protagonist.
