Astromech Droid, R2-D2
Released in 1999, SW0028 is the original LEGO R2-D2 minifigure. 17 further variants have been produced since, with the most recent in 2026.
At £1.91, SW0028 is one of the less valuable R2-D2 variants. The highest-valued variant — SW1496 - Astromech Droid, R2-D2 - Dirt Stains on Front and Back, without Dirt Stains on Top Panels — currently trades at £13.00.
SW0028 ranks in the bottom 50% of all minifigures tracked on Brickpit by used value, and in the bottom 50% within the Star Wars theme (998 figures).
SW0028 sits in the mid-range of R2-D2 variants by value. With all source sets now retired, supply is not growing — a factor that typically supports price stability over time.
