This awesome 1,088-piece model is one of the most detailed buildable droid figures we've had. It stands over a foot tall when the droid is mounted on the STAP (Single Trooper Aerial Platform) and comes with a display stand and information marquee that's great for displaying with other LEGO sets or on a bookshelf. You also get a minifigure battle droid and a scaled down version of the STAP with clear support bricks to give it that floating illusion. The Battle Droid buildable figure itself can be removed from the STAP, and it's fully posable with the included brick-built blaster. At just over 1,000 pieces, this is the perfect set to lock in on while The Phantom Menace plays in the background.
We built the LEGO Battle Droid with STAP set, detailing the process with plenty of visual aids along the way.
More LEGO Star Wars and Sets Retiring Soon
If you're unfamiliar, LEGO will schedule their sets to retire after some time. Some other great LEGO Star Wars sets will soon be sunsetted, like the Droideka buildable model, which pairs perfectly with the Battle Droid and STAP set for all those prequels fans out there. The Mos Espa Podrace diorama is another great set for displaying in a home office, and the Tantive IV recreates one of the most iconic ships in the entire saga.
If you're after a LEGO set that isn't Star Wars-themed, there are dozens of other sets retiring soon to pick from (check out the full list on BrickEconomy).
