Amazon is offering a rare chance for cash savings on the LEGO Star Wars 75308 R2-D2 set for $213.45 shipped. Normally fetching $240, this set first released in 2021 at $200 and was later raised in price to $240 in 2022. We’ve only seen one previous Amazon discount from May 2023 when it fell to a short-lived $192 low, with no others having been seen since, except on other third-party websites like Zappos, where it is currently unavailable. Today you’re looking at a solid $27 markdown that gives you one of the lowest prices we’ve seen in its 3-year run. The LEGO Group has also slated this particular set to be retired in the coming months before 2024 ends, so it may become even more rare a discount once that happens – whenever it ultimately does happen.
Stacking up to 2,315 pieces, you’ll be able to assemble a larger-scale model of everybody’s favorite astromech droid (and also one of the most important characters in all the franchise). Once finished, this iteration of R2-D2 stands over 12 inches tall, entering the same scale that we saw in 2011’s version of the UCS R2-D2, this newer rendition offers an updated design, expanded details, and plenty more bricks. Added features include a rotating head (with a miniature Luke’s lightsaber hidden within), a retractable center leg to switch into the driving position, an adjustable periscope, and front hatches that open to reveal the posable tool arms. You’ll also be getting a R2-D2 minifigure, an information plaque, and a Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary LEGO brick.
