Lego Star Wars Darth Vader Helmet & Droideka Droid Are Nearly 50% Off At Amazon

Not many Lego sets have the type of run the Darth Father Helmet has enjoyed. Released way back in March 2021, the 834-piece display model of the classic Sith Lord from the Original Trilogy has outlived many Star Wars Lego sets released after it. The Darth Vader Helmet is practically ancient in Lego years, but it remains one of the best-selling Star Wars sets at major retailers to this day. Just in the last month, Amazon says it has sold over 2,000 Darth Vader Helmets, which is a higher total than a bunch of recently launched sets. But Dark Lord Vader’s life-support system can’t keep him alive in the Lego Star Wars universe forever. Lego has marked the Darth Vader Helmet as “retiring soon,” which means it’ll likely be sold out at major retailers before the end of the year.

If you want to add the set to your personal collection or are looking for an always-popular gift for a Star Wars fan this holiday season, you should snag it from Amazon or Target soon. Both retailers are selling the Darth Vader Helmet for $44.79 (was $80). It’s one of numerous Lego Star Wars sets in Target’s Circle Week sale that Amazon is price-matching ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. Make sure to click the coupon on Amazon’s listing to get the full discount.

A few of the other Star Wars Lego deals Amazon is matching are for models also slated to retire soon: Droideka Destroyer Droid for $36.39 (was $65), Boarding the Tantive IV for $32.89 (was $55), The Onyx Cinder Spaceship for $98 (was $140), and the Luke Skywalker X-Wing Mech for $11.19 (was $16). Amazon also just restocked the TIE Fighter & X-Wing Mash-up for $77 (was $110)which has limited availability at retailers and might already be out of print. We’ve included a longer list of deals on soon-to-be retired Lego Star Wars sets at the bottom of this story.
