Not many Lego sets have the type of run the Darth Vader Helmet[1] 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,”[2] 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)[3]. It’s one of numerous Lego Star Wars sets in Target’s Circle Week sale[4] that Amazon is price-matching ahead of Prime Big Deal Days[5]. 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[6] (was $65), Boarding the Tantive IV for $32.89[7] (was $55), The Onyx Cinder Spaceship for $98[8] (was $140), and the Luke Skywalker X-Wing Mech for $11.19[9] (was $16). Amazon also just restocked the TIE Fighter & X-Wing Mash-up for $77 (was $110)[10], 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[11] at the bottom of this story.
Lego Star Wars Helmet Models
You can pair the Darth Vader Helmet with deals on other Lego Star Wars Helmets, including The Mandalorian[12] and Captain Rex[13], which are likely next in line for retirement. Walmart also has a trio of Lego Star Wars Helmet Bundle deals that are worth checking out. Meanwhile, the Target-exclusive AT-AT Driver Helmet[14] is on sale for $49 (was $70).

Check out all six of the in-print Lego Star Wars Helmet sets as well as one retired model[15] that randomly popped back up on Amazon below.
$44.79 (was $80) with coupon | Retiring Soon[16]

The Darth Vader Helmet is an 834-piece build measuring 8 x 5.5 x 5.5 inches. Designed for experienced builders, this model utilizes more advanced building techniques than some of the other smaller character helmets in the lineup. Along with the detailed exterior plating, the build includes Vader’s life-support system. The brick-built display stand includes a detachable nameplate with the Lego Star Wars logo.
The current Darth Vader Helmet deal at Amazon and Target is superb, but it’s worth noting that Walmart has restocked two bundle deals that include Vader’s Helmet and one other 2025 Lego Star Wars release. Most notably, it’s bundled with the recently released UCS AT-ST for $210–you’re essentially paying 10 bucks for Darth Vader’s Helmet with this bundle. Alternatively, you can get Darth Vader and Kylo Ren Helmets for $99.
$49 (was $70)[17]

Exclusive to Target and the Lego Store, the AT-AT Driver Helmet is based on its design in The Empire Strikes Back. The completed 730-piece build measures 7.5 x 5 x 5 inches.
The AT-AT Driver Helmet is featured in Target’s Circle Week Lego sale with a 30% discount.
$70 | Bundle with Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle for $98 (was $140)[18]

Speaking of the Kylo Ren Helmet, the 529-piece model of the helmet worn by Lord Vader’s grandson is still available in a bundle deal at Walmart. You can pair it with Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle, a 386-piece model of the villain’s stealthy starship, for $98 (was $140). You’re essentially getting both Kylo Ren $70 sets for only $49 each[19].
Outside of the bundle deals, Kylo Ren’s Helmet hasn’t received any discounts since launching in May for Star Wars Day. The 529-piece build is exclusive to Walmart and the Lego Store. The completed model measures 7 x 4.5 x 5 inches.
$56 (was $70)[20]

The Mandalorian Helmet released back in early 2022 and probably won’t be sticking around for much longer either. The 584-piece build recreates Mando’s Beskar plate armor. When connected to the stand, The Mandalorian Helmet measures 7 x 4 x 4.5 inches.
The Mandalorian Helmet is on sale for $56 (was $70) at Amazon and Walmart.
$56 (was $70)[21]

The replica of the popular 501st Legion Clone Commander’s Helmet actually has the highest piece count of the Star Wars Lego Helmets actively being produced today. The 854-piece Captain Rex Helmet measures 8 x 5 x 5 inches and does a stellar job recreating the unique armor plating from The Clone Wars film and follow-up TV series.
You can get the Captain Rex Helmet for $56 (was $70) at Amazon.
$65 (was $70)[22]

The 616-piece Jango Fett Helmet released alongside the Kylo Ren Helmet for Star Wars Day, so it’s not surprising that discounts on this one are small so far. The completed model measures 8.5 x 4.5 x 4 inches and has an adjustable rangefinder antenna.
Jango Fett has received a lot of attention from Lego this year. The bounty hunter’s starship from Attack of the Clones joined the UCS lineup for Star Wars Day[23], and a smaller playset version of the Firespray-Class Starship[24] launched in August.
$70 | Retired / In stock at Amazon[25]

Lego discontinued the Clone Commander Cody Helmet in February 2025. Since then, the helmet has disappeared from most major retailers, but Amazon recently restocked the 766-piece set for its original $70 MSRP. Clone Wars and Bad Batch fans should check it out while they can. The completed model with display stand is 8 x 5 x 5.5 inches.

Another notable Star Wars set on its way out is the 583-piece Droideka Destroyer Droid[26] for $36.39 (was $65) at Amazon and Target[27]. This is one of Target’s official Circle Week deals that Amazon is matching. Other standout offers Amazon is matching include the Boarding the Tantive IV scene diorama[28] for $32.89 (was $55) and The Onyx Cinder Spaceship[29] for $98 (was $140). Lego is also retiring the awesome Luke Skywalker X-Wing Mech[30], and you can add it to your collection for only $11.19 (was $16).
Two Ultimate Collector Series Star Wars Lego sets are being discontinued: Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Starfighter[31] and massive Razor Crest Starship from The Mandalorian[32]. The latter is on sale for a slight discount at Amazon. There are currently 23 Lego Star Wars sets on the brink of retirement[33]. Outside of the UCS builds, the list below focuses on the ones you can save money on right now.
