LEGO Joins Early Prime Day With Star Wars Millennium Falcon at a New Record-Low Price
Star Wars fans are, historically, pretty committed to what they love. It makes them incredibly easy to buy presents for, because basically anything that's related to Star Wars is a good shout, and it's going to be really well received too. It can be hard to find a quality gift though, whether you're looking for yourself or someone else. These days, one of the best gifts you can give any of them, outside of a trip to Disney World, is a good Lego set. See at Amazon Lego sets hold their value well though, which means it can be hard to get them for a more reasonable price. Thankfully, a good set goes on sale here and there, and right now, that means that you can get this Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon while it's just $68. That's a 20% discount on the normal price, and that's a small price to pay for a 25th anniversary collectable. Piece By Piece The Millennium Falcon is undoubtedly one of the most iconic spaceships of any film ever. There's just no denying it, and anyone who tries is either lying or just trying to wind you up, so keep that in mind if they try and argue. It's iconic because it's integral to the original Star Wars trilogy, and it's the mighty ship of Han Solo, who is cooler than Luke Skywalker in every possible way. This Lego set lets you quite literally build your own one up from scratch, and once you've spent a few evenings putting together this 921-piece Lego set, you'll have an amazing model of the Falcon to admire forever more. This is a gift that gives at least twice. The first one is the chance to actually build the Lego set, but from then on, it's just an incredibly cool model you get to enjoy every time you see it. It's an incredible sight on its own, but it's also a gateway into more gifts later on if you decide to grab more of the Star Wars ships to build, or just any other great Lego model. This makes for an incredible present or impulse buy, whether you're getting it for a younger Star Wars fan or an older one. Given that it's normally $85 too, being able to pick it up for $68 instead is a deal worth making the most of. We don't know how long the deal will last, but it's a good one, so we don't recommend waiting too long. See at Amazon
