These Lego Star Wars deals are still active, but it's worth noting that the R2-D2 kit has increased in cost by 4c. That means it's technically not a record low anymore, so bear that in mind if you want the best possible price! However, I think it's close enough for jazz and is still a cracking discount on the whole - I'd still recommend it. Original article follows.
Star Wars Day may be in the rear-view mirror, but a few Lego Star Wars bargains are still clinging on for dear life. Actually, a few kits have hit their cheapest ever prices this week. The Force is with us, I suppose.
Based in the UK? Don't worry, you can also save a bunch. The Falcon is currently sitting at a record low £49.99 at Amazon instead of £75, whilst R2 is £64.99 at Very rather than the usual £90.
Both of these kits reviewed very well when we got our hands on them. We mentioned in our Lego R2-D2 (75379) review that the set struck a "healthy middle ground between toy and display piece," impressing with its numerous interactive elements and posable nature despite a somewhat more monotonous build. Sure, the older version was bigger and more feature-rich. However, this is a far more reasonable price point, does many of the same things, and still looks great despite being more diminutive. It goes very nicely with the new C-3PO, too, and is sized to match.
Meanwhile, I couldn't have recommended the Falcon more in my Lego Millennium Falcon (75375) review. I said that "this smaller, cheaper version of the galaxy's most iconic ship doesn't skimp on quality – and that makes it the one I'll now recommend first." Yes, there are bigger and more impressive alternatives. But they cost a small fortune and take up a hanger bay of space by themselves, whereas this will fit nicely onto a shelf without much fuss and costs the same as your average video game. For Lego of this caliber, that's very reasonable.
As with all Lego discounts, it's tricky to say how long this will last. With that in mind, I'd probably dive in sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment, just in case they make the jump to hyperspace before you hit checkout.
