One of the best-selling Lego Star Wars sets is proving to be difficult to find in stock this holiday season. The 1,050-piece R2-D2 figure is now sold out at Target and Walmart and is on backorder on the Lego Store. If you're interested in picking up the cool buildable droid figure, Amazon brought back its deal on this exceedingly popular set on December 18. Normally $100, the Star Wars R2-D2 Lego set is on sale for $80 at Amazon. This deal was previously available at Walmart and Target, but unless your local store has units available, both retailers are sold out.

This mid-sized building model of the lovable droid launched in March 2024 as part of the Lego Star Wars 25th Anniversary collection, so it comes with multiple extras, including a Knights of the Old Republic minifigure.

Take a look at Lego R2-D2's features below. If you're looking for more Lego Star Wars deals, you could pair R2-D2 with his buddy C-3PO; the 1,138-piece C-3PO display model is on sale for $112 (was $140). We've rounded up additional Lego Star Wars deals at the bottom of this story.

Lego Star Wars: R2-D2 - 25th Anniversary Edition (1,050 Pieces)

$80 (was $100)

The 1,050-piece R2-D2 is a fun and rewarding build that offers solid value for the price--even when it's selling for $100. For $80, though, this impressive R2-D2 figure is one of the best Star Wars Lego bargains available ahead of Christmas.

Once fully assembled, R2-D2 is 4 x 6 x 9 inches. Recommended for builders ages 10 and up, this iteration of R2-D2 is one of Lego's display model and playset hybrids. For the interactive features, R2's head can rotate a full 360 degrees. His legs were designed for fluid movement, so you can slide R2-D2 like you would an action figure. His middle leg and periscope are detachable, and his utility arms can be extended.

Since R2-D2 doubles as a display model, the figure is accompanied by a buildable plaque and stand with an information card detailing the iconic astromech droid. There's also room on the stand for the small R2-D2 Lego figure that's included with this set.

As mentioned, this particular version of R2-D2 launched as a member of the Star Wars 25th Anniversary lineup. As an added bo nus, you'll get a display stand with the Lego Star Wars 25th Anniversary logo--which just so happens to feature R2-D2--and a Darth Malek minifigure. The main villain in BioWare's classic RPG Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Darth Malek comes with a red lightsaber accessory and can be displayed on the 25th Anniversary stand.

Sticking with droids, the 1,186-piece Creative Play Droid Builder 4-Pack is available for $100 (was $110). Exclusive to Target, this pack of customizable figures includes R2-D2, Chopper, QT-KT, and R5-J2. Speaking of exclusives, Amazon is the only retailer carrying the retired Phantom Menace BrickHeadz 5-Pack, and you can snag the 732-piece figure set for only $44 (was $55).

Other popular deals include Captain Rex and Jango Fett Helmet replicas for $56 (was $70) each, the Acclamator-Class Assault Ship for $40 (was $50), and the Brick-Built Star Wars Logo for $48 (was $60).
