Summary
Happy Star Wars Day everybody. If you love the series set in a galaxy far, far away then you will likely be rewatching some of its best movies and moments today, or perhaps rewatching everything set inStar Wars' sprawling universe. Wait, is it even possible to do that in 24 hours anymore? If sitting down to watch the same movies you’ve seen a thousand times isn’t how you want to celebrate, no matter how good they are, then maybe building your very own Millennium Falcon would be an appropriate alternative.
This particular Millennium Falcon isn’t one you can shift into hyperspace to outrun TIE Fighters, but the day being able to do that becomes a reality, I’ll be the first to let you know. No, this is one ofLego’s many Millennium Falcon sets that will leave you with a miniature replica of cinema’s most famous spaceship once you’re done. Made up of more than 1,300 pieces, the Lego Falcon has had its price cut on Amazon to celebrate May 4.
It will usually set you back $170 to make Lego’s Millennium Falcon your own, but for a limited time, you’re able to pick one up for just $135.99. No indication of how long that limited window will remain open, but since it seems to have gone on sale to celebrate Star Wars Day, I wouldn’t run the risk of leaving it until tomorrow. It seems likely its price will have returned to $170 by then. No, you won’t be able to start your build on May 4 itself, but at least you’ll know the Falcon will begin its journey to you the second you checkout.
Build Your Own Millennium Falcon For Less
LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon
Lego’s Millennium Falcon set is 1,351 pieces and even fires little plastic lasers should it find itself in a spot of bother. The Minifigures pictured are also included as part of the set.
The set also includes Minifigures of characters you’d typically find aboard the Millennium Falcon. Chewie, R2, and C-3PO are all in there alongside a few other classic Star Wars characters. It’s worth noting that there are a few Millennium Falcon Lego sets, and this is the one that sits neatly in the middle of the others available in terms of size. It’s not to be confused withthe smaller Falcon set released earlier this year, and definitely shouldn’t be confused with the gigantic Millennium Falcon Lego set which is 7,500 pieces and costs $850.
Lego has been going hard on its Star Wars celebrations this year as it marks 25 years since the first time it teamed up with Lucasfilm to turn elements from the movies into Lego sets.A sizable TIE Interceptor setis among the many already released this year, and anyone spending a certain amount on Lego Star Wars sets from now until May 5 at the Lego storewill get up to three free gifts- two Phantom Menace-inspired sets, and a collectible coin featuring a design from A New Hope.
