Save 20% on the Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon ahead of Prime Day
There are fewer starships across pop culture more iconic than the Millennium Falcon, even if Luke Skywalker wasn't best impressed when he first laid eyes on it. Editor's note Oct 9: We're seeing this price fluctuate going on and off deal price today, so we recommend you only buy if you see it cheaper than $140
Han Solo's pride and joy's "hamburger with a bite taken out of it" silhouette is unmistakable, and that's led to multiple LEGO renditions over the years. While they often come with huge piece counts (and price tags to match), this LEGO Millennium Falcon, discounted at Amazon, is the best of both worlds.
Not only does it offer the iconic ship for under $140, but it's packed with neat additions that make it perfect for building (and playing) with kids.
You can save 20% right now ahead of Prime Day, meaning you can attempt the Kessel Run with a $34 discount.

The LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon includes 1351 pieces, and stands 5-inches tall and 17-inches long, making it a fairly chunky build that's ideal for family night since it's less fiddly than some more complex alternatives.
In the box are seven minifigs, too, so you can add C-3PO, R2-D2, D-O, Boolio, Finn, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian to your collection in one fell swoop. It's curious there's no Han Solo, admittedly.
There's an opening smuggling compartment (just like that moment in A New Hope), and the ramp lowers, too, as well as the cockpit. There are two spring-loaded launchers for firing the included projectile for dogfights with similar sets, too.
