"This year feels a bit like a disappointment as the number of discounted sets fell significantly compared to previous years. One of the most iconic Star Wars sets managed to make it through with a proper deal, though: the R2-D2 building set dropped to $79 from its usual $99 price tag, and reaches an all-time low that makes this the perfect time to grab it."
"The 1,050-piece construction gives you a satisfying build session that takes several hours without becoming frustratingly complex, hitting that sweet spot where you're engaged but not pulling your hair out over confusing instructions. You assemble R2-D2's iconic dome head with 360-degree rotation capability, letting you position him looking in any direction once he's on display. The detachable third leg recreates the droid's mobility configuration from the films, adding an authentic detail that fans immediately recognize and appreciate."
Black Friday produced far fewer LEGO discounts than in prior years, leaving shoppers with fewer sale options. The R2-D2 set dropped to $79 from $99, reaching an all-time low and presenting a clear buying opportunity. The 1,050-piece build provides a multi-hour, engaging but not overly complex construction experience. The model features a 360-degree rotating dome, a detachable third leg, attachable tools, and a periscope for variable display configurations. Finished dimensions exceed 9 inches tall, 6 inches wide, and 4 inches deep, offering substantial shelf presence with solid build quality and accurate blue-and-white coloration.
