Astromech Droid, R2-D2 - Dirt Stains on Front and Back, without Dirt Stains on Top Panels
R2-D2 has 18 LEGO variants spanning 1999–2026. SW1496, released in 2026, is the 17th of those variants.
At £13.00, SW1496 is the highest-valued R2-D2 variant on the secondary market — 8.0× the price of the most affordable variant (SW0217 - Astromech Droid, R2-D2, Light Bluish Gray Head at £1.62).
SW1496 ranks in the top 25% of all minifigures tracked on Brickpit by used value, and in the top 50% within the Star Wars theme (998 figures).
As the highest-valued R2-D2 variant, SW1496's premium likely reflects its limited distribution across just 1 set. Collectors should note the significant spread across R2-D2 variants before committing at this price point.
