Attention, LEGO and Star Wars fans! Amazon is still offering the retired LEGO R2-D2 set, which was discontinued in January 2025. You can snag this meticulously crafted model for just $221.27, reflecting an 8% discount off the original price. The collaboration between LEGO and Star Wars, which started in 1999, has given us a wide range of sets from simple playsets for kids to intricate, display-worthy models. The R2-D2 set falls into the latter category, making it an excellent addition to any collector's showcase.
This R2-D2 set was particularly highlighted during Star Wars Day sales, but we don't expect it to remain below MSRP for long. If you're considering adding this iconic droid to your collection, now is the time to act.

This 2,315-piece set is the most detailed R2-D2 model LEGO has ever released. IGN had the pleasure of assembling this set upon its initial release and found the experience truly enjoyable. Standing over a foot tall, this R2-D2 allows for versatile posing and includes all the iconic features from the films. The third leg is retractable, the front hatches open and close, and the periscope extends from R2's head. LEGO's dedication to detail ensures that every color, wire, tube, and light on R2's body is as accurate as possible. If you manage to get your hands on this set before it's gone, it pairs beautifully with the best LEGO Star Wars sets of 2025.
R2-D2's most recent on-screen appearance was in 2021's "The Book of Boba Fett," specifically in 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 its focus on nostalgia and "The Mandalorian" elements over the show's protagonist.
