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

Good news for LEGO collectors—Amazon still has some retired sets available, including this highly detailed, to-scale R2-D2 model. Originally retired in January 2025, this iconic Star Wars build is currently on sale for $221.27 (an 8% discount from its original price). Since the first LEGO Star Wars collaboration launched back in 1999, fans have enjoyed a wide variety of sets ranging from child-friendly playsets to complex display models. This R2-D2 set definitely falls into the latter category, offering an impressive level of detail and scale that makes it a standout addition to any Star Wars collection.

While this set was recently discounted for Star Wars Day, we don’t expect it to stay under MSRP for long. If you’re looking to complete your collection or add a premium centerpiece, now may be one of your last chances to grab it at a reduced price.

Retired LEGO R2-D2 Still Available on Amazon

LEGO R2-D2

This 2,315-piece LEGO R2-D2 set is the most intricate version of the droid ever released by LEGO. IGN had the opportunity to build it when it first launched and gave it high marks for both design and playability. Standing over a foot tall, the model offers full poseability and includes all the signature features seen in the films. From retractable legs and opening hatches to a deployable periscope, every element is thoughtfully included. The color accuracy, detailing, and mechanical fidelity are top-notch, making this a must-have for serious collectors. If you manage to snag it before it’s gone, it pairs perfectly with some of the best LEGO Star Wars sets of 2025.

R2-D2 last appeared on screen in 2021 during *The Book of Boba Fett* Season 1, Episode 6—"From the Desert Comes a Stranger." The episode was widely recognized for featuring a CGI-de-aged Luke Skywalker, the final live-action appearance of Cad Bane, and, of course, everyone's favorite astromech droid. IGN rated the episode a seven, noting that it leaned heavily on nostalgia and familiar Star Wars elements rather than focusing solely on its main character.
