"Retired R2-D2 LEGO Set: Discounted on Amazon"

If you're a fan of LEGO and Star Wars, you're in luck—Amazon still has some retired LEGO sets available for purchase, including the highly detailed R2-D2 model. This particular set, which was retired in January 2025, is priced at $221.27, offering an 8% discount off the original price of $239.99. Known for its partnership with LEGO since 1999, Star Wars has produced everything from playful builds to intricate collector’s pieces. The R2-D2 set belongs to the latter category, making it a fantastic addition to any Star Wars enthusiast's collection.

Standing at over a foot tall and featuring 2,315 pieces, this LEGO R2-D2 set captures every cinematic detail imaginable. IGN had the opportunity to review it upon release and praised its exceptional craftsmanship. From the retractable third leg to the opening front hatches and extendable periscope, every element mirrors the original droid from the films. The set’s screen-accurate colors, wires, tubes, and lights ensure an authentic representation of the beloved astromech. If you manage to secure this set before it disappears, it pairs beautifully with other top LEGO Star Wars builds for 2025.

This R2-D2 model made its latest on-screen appearance in "The Book of Boba Fett," specifically in Episode 6 titled "From the Desert Comes a Stranger." The episode, released in 2021, reintroduced a CGI-deaged Luke Skywalker and the live-action debut of bounty hunter Cad Bane, alongside our favorite blue-and-white droid.

Amazon remains a prime destination for retired LEGO sets due to its extensive inventory. Other recently retired sets are still available for purchase, such as the LEGO Architecture Taj Mahal, LEGO Creator 3 in 1 Medieval Castle, LEGO Icons Chevrolet Camaro Z28, LEGO Ideas Sonic The Hedgehog – Green Hill Zone, LEGO Art The Amazing Spider-Man, LEGO Friends Botanical Garden, and LEGO Technic Porsche 911 RSR. Each offers a unique blend of creativity and nostalgia for LEGO aficionados.
