Lego's retiring this Star Wars set soon, so its last-minute Black Friday deal could be your last chance to buy

There are few things sadder than Lego's 'Retiring soon' tag, applied to a product that the company's about to stop selling. Soon, it'll be hard to buy without seeing a massive mark-up, but for now it's still around. For you Star Wars: Ahsoka fans out there, this Black Friday Lego deal on one such set could give you a last chance to buy it.

You can currently pick up the Lego Star Wars Ghost & Phantom II set for £127.49 at Amazon, which is a £22.50 price cut on the set. Over at Lego, it's already sold out for the last time, and a few other retailers have limited stock or no discounts, so this bargain option may be your final opportunity to pick up the Ahsoka-inspired kit before it leaves the galaxy.

If the ticking-clock element wasn't enough to drag your mouse towards the 'Buy Now' button, consider this: in our Lego Ghost & Phantom II review we called it "the best Star Wars playset in years".

It comes with 1,394 pieces, including five unique minifigures not available in any other set: General Hera Syndulla, Lieutenant Beyta, First Officer Hawkins, Jacen Syndulla and a Chopper droid (if that counts as a minifig). As you can tell by the name, it's two starships in one kit.

The interior is detailed, with space for all five minifigures, and there are a few playability features.

Should you buy the Lego Star Wars Ghost and Phantom II deal?

I can quote our review on this one: "if you’re a Rebels fan, it’s essential. If you’re an Ahsoka fan, it’s the pick of the three Ahsoka-themed Lego sets released." (since the review was published, we've seen a fair few more Ahsoka sets released).

While the Star Wars: Ahsoka TV show is returning, this set is not, and you'll probably only be able to buy it as long as Amazon has stock. After that, you'll have to buy it from resellers, and we all know how keen they are to ramp up the price of retired sets.

Bearing in mind that the five minifigures are unique to the set, this could be your last opportunity to grab a bricky replica of your favorite character too. So if you're a fan of the Rebels or Ahsoka shows, it could be worth jumping on the deal now, while the set's still available.

For US-based buyers: the set is still retiring soon for you, but Lego does have stock left, as do a few other retailers. So the clock is still ticking, but it's further away from the big '12' at the top.
