Few Lego collections have the kind of duration that the Darth Vader Helmet has experienced. Debuting back in March 2021, the 834-piece showcase model of the iconic Sith Lord from the Original Trilogy has outlasted numerous Star Wars Lego sets introduced afterward. The Darth Vader Helmet is almost vintage in Lego terms, yet it continues to be one of the top-selling Star Wars collections at leading retailers even now. In just the previous month, Amazon reports it has sold over 2,000 Darth Vader Helmets, surpassing a significant number of recently introduced sets. However, Dark Lord Vader’s life-support mechanism cannot sustain him indefinitely in the Lego Star Wars realm. Lego has designated the Darth Vader Helmet as “phasing out soon,” indicating that it will probably be unavailable at major retailers before the year concludes.
If you wish to incorporate the set into your private collection or are seeking a consistently popular gift for a Star Wars enthusiast this festive period, you ought to grab it from Amazon or Target promptly. Both retailers offer the Darth Vader Helmet for $44.79 (previously $80). It’s one of many Lego Star Wars sets included in Target’s Circle Week predicament, which Amazon is price-matching leading up to Prime Big Deal Days. Be sure to select the coupon on Amazon’s listing to secure the complete discount.
Several alternative Star Wars Lego promotions Amazon is mirroring pertain to models also expected to retire shortly: Droideka Destroyer Droid for $36.39 (previously $65), Boarding the Tantive IV for $32.89 (previously $55), The Onyx Cinder Spaceship for $98 (previously $140), and the Luke Skywalker X-Wing Mech for $11.19 (previously $16). Amazon has just replenished the TIE Fighter & X-Wing Mash-up for $77 (previously $110), which has limited stock at retailers and might already be out of print. We have included an extended list of offers on soon-to-be phasing out Lego Star Wars sets at the conclusion of this article.
