May 4 is still a few weeks away, but thanks to a new deal at Amazon on some of its Star Wars Lego sets, you can start celebrating the greatest sci-fi film ever made right now. If you’ve been waiting for a deal on some of these, you can save up to 26% off some core classics like the Millennium Falcon, the TIE Bomber, and R2-D2. Some of these prices are record lows, so it’s a great time to fill in those holes in your collection.
We’ll highlight a few of our picks, beginning with the beloved R2-D2, an icon that no Star Wars Lego collector should be without. Measuring 9 inches high, 6 inches wide, and 4 inches deep, R2 has a movable head that can be rotated 360 degrees, an attachable periscope and tools, and a detachable third leg. The set also comes with a 25th anniversary minifigure of Darth Malek from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. This set is ideal for builders 10 years of age and up.
Everyone knows the iconic TIE Fighter, but true Star Wars ship fans also love the TIE Bomber, which made its first appearance in The Empire Strikes Back. Measuring 15.04 inches long, 10.32 inches wide, and 2.78 inches high, the bomber has a cockpit that opens so you can insert a minifigure and a warhead bay that holds four droppable torpedos, as well as a handy little cart to transport them with. You also get three minifigures with weapons, including Darth Vader, Vice Admiral Sloane, and a TIE Bomber Pilot, as well as everyone’s favorite walking battery, the Gonk droid. Builders nine years old and up can take this one on.
