Amazon has a fantastic deal on the Lego Star Wars R2-D2 display model for adults. Normally $240, the 2,314-piece R2-D2 building set is on sale for only $168. The $72 discount is the best we’ve seen at a major retailer, and since this set was retired by Lego at the beginning of the year, this may be your last chance to get a deal on it. The R2-D2 deal is an official Prime Day offer, but you don’t need to be a member to purchase it.
Lego Star Wars – R2-D2 Display Model (2,314 Pieces)
$168 (was $240) | Retired in January 2025
Released as part of Lucasfilm’s 50th Anniversary celebration in 2021, this R2-D2 is a black-box Star Wars Lego set, which means it’s more of a display model and is geared toward adults.
When complete, the 2,314-piece R2-D2 Lego model measures 12.5 x 7.5 x 6 inches, so while it’s not an extremely large set in terms of overall space, it’s an intricate build with many little flourishes and features that make it stand out as a display piece. This includes interactive components pulled from the movies: rotating head, retractable leg, adjustable periscope, and a front hatch that opens and extends outward. There’s also a secret storage compartment for Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber.
This R2-D2 model also comes with a display plaque with details about the droid, an R2-D2 minifigure, and a Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary stand for the minifigure. For collectors out there, it’s worth noting that this R2-D2 model is the only Lego set with the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary brick. And as mentioned, the set is out of stock more often than not–it’s unavailable at any other retailer, including the Lego Store, at the moment–so Walmart’s $45 discount probably won’t stick around for long.
Lego released a smaller, 1,050-piece R2-D2 buildable figure last year for $100–but it’s on sale for $80. The newer R2-D2 is recommended for kids ages 10 and up, and while it still looks great, the build process is not nearly as elaborate as the the larger R2-D2.
Lego Star Wars – Chewbacca Display Model (2,319 Pieces)
$139 (was $200)
Lego Chewbacca was released in 2023 for the May the Fourth festivities and has almost exactly the same number of pieces as the R2-D2 above. The completed 2,319-piece Chewbacca stands 18 inches tall. Along with the figure, you’ll build his Bowcaster Rifle and bandolier, a small display stand, and an informational plaque with a Chewbacca minifigure.
Chewbacca was available for $140-$145 last month during various Black Friday sales, but those deals never stuck around for long. Amazon sold out of this set at $145 a few weeks ago and it remains out of stock today. If you missed out on those deals, now you have the chance to get this awesome display model for its new all-time low price at Walmart.
