Astromech Droid, R5-D4 - Dome Head
R5-D4 has 4 LEGO variants spanning 1999–2025. SW0142, released in 2005, is the 3rd of those variants.
At £5.18, SW0142 is one of the less valuable R5-D4 variants. The highest-valued variant — SW0029A - Astromech Droid, R5-D4 - Dome Head with Long Red Stripes — currently trades at £16.13.
SW0142 ranks in the top 50% of all minifigures tracked on Brickpit by used value, and in the bottom 50% within the Star Wars theme (998 figures).
SW0142 sits in the mid-range of R5-D4 variants by value. With all source sets now retired, supply is not growing — a factor that typically supports price stability over time.
Price History
Set Appearances
SW0142 was produced exclusively for Sandcrawler (10144), a premium set originally retailing at £107.65. Sets at this price point typically sell in lower volumes, contributing to a smaller pool of figures on the secondary market. The set retired in 2008, so SW0142 is now only available secondhand.
