The LEGO Darth Vader Helmet has had an astonishing run since its launch in March 2021. This 834-piece display model, capturing the iconic Sith Lord from the Original Trilogy, has remarkably outlasted many newer LEGO Star Wars sets. Even now, it remains a consistent bestseller at major retailers, with Amazon reporting over 2,000 units sold just last month—surpassing many recently released kits. However, even the Dark Lord’s brick-built legacy can’t last forever. LEGO has announced that the Darth Vader Helmet is “retiring soon,” meaning it will likely vanish from shelves before the year’s end.
This makes it the perfect time to secure this collectible for your own display or as an unforgettable gift for a Star Wars enthusiast this holiday season. Both Amazon and Target are offering the Darth Vader Helmet for an incredible $44.79, a steep drop from its original $80 price. This deal is part of Target’s Circle Week, with Amazon competitively price-matching in anticipation of their Prime Big Deal Days. Remember to check for any available coupons on Amazon’s product page to ensure you get the maximum discount!
Amazon is also matching deals on several other Star Wars LEGO sets that are about to retire, including the Droideka Destroyer Droid for $36.39 (down from $65), Boarding the Tantive IV for $32.89 (was $55), The Onyx Cinder Spaceship for $98 (originally $140), and the Luke Skywalker X-Wing Mech for just $11.19 (from $16). You’ll find a comprehensive list of all soon-to-be-retired LEGO Star Wars sets on discount further down.

This Walmart and LEGO Store exclusive, measuring 7 x 4.5 x 5 inches, has not seen individual discounts since its May Star Wars Day launch.
The Mandalorian Helmet, a 584-piece set launched in early 2022, is also expected to retire soon. This model beautifully recreates Mando’s iconic Beskar plate armor, measuring 7 x 4 x 4.5 inches on its display stand. Find it on sale for $56 (originally $70) at both Amazon and Walmart.
Surprisingly, the Captain Rex Helmet boasts the highest piece count among currently produced LEGO Star Wars helmets.

Released alongside the Kylo Ren Helmet for Star Wars Day, the 616-piece Jango Fett Helmet has seen modest discounts so far. This completed model, featuring an adjustable rangefinder antenna, measures 8.5 x 4.5 x 4 inches. Jango Fett has been a focus for LEGO this year, with his starship from Attack of the Clones joining the Ultimate Collector Series and a smaller playset version launching in August.
Though LEGO discontinued the Clone Commander Cody Helmet in February 2025, Amazon recently surprised fans by restocking this 766-piece set at its original $70 price. Clone Wars and Bad Batch enthusiasts should act fast, as this 8 x 5 x 5.5-inch model with a display stand won’t last long.
