The Star Wars license is LEGO\u2019s most popular partnership, and the company clearly decided to sacrifice margins to move inventory before the holiday rush.<\/p>\n<p>The Millennium Falcon 25th Anniversary Edition set is the crown jewel of these deals and celebrates a quarter century of LEGO Star Wars collaboration with a stunning mid-scale model. Amazon just <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.gizmodo.com\/go\/1994\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">dropped this to $67 for Black Friday, down from $84, delivering a 20% discount<\/a> that already moved over 9,000 units this month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center not-prose\"><a class=\"comp-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.gizmodo.com\/go\/1994\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">See at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>921 Pieces of Pure Nostalgia<\/p>\n<p>The 921-piece build recreates the most iconic starship in cinema history with authentic details from Star Wars: A New Hope. You build the cockpit from which Han and Chewie navigated through asteroid fields, the satellite dish that gives the Falcon its distinctive silhouette, and the cannons that knocked down countless TIE fighters. The mid-scale design hits that sweet spot between impressive size and manageable shelf space. The finished model measures 9.5 inches long, 7.5 inches wide, and 5 inches high with its display stand.<\/p>\n<p>With the provided display stand, this goes from being a \u2018toy\u2019 into an actual collectible piece of home decor. This stand showcases the Millennium Falcon at an exciting angle where it looks all the more distinctive rather than just sitting flat like a paperweight. A nameplate and special LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary brick commemorate the milestone release.<\/p>\n<p>Such a set is part of LEGO\u2019s Star Wars Starship Collection and offers mid-scale buildable models of vessels. When several ships are collected, the end result is an integrated display telling a story of the Star Wars universe in brick form. The continued scale within the series means that when the ships are on display, they are proportionally correct.<\/p>\n<p>With an average 4.9-star rating over nearly 2,000 reviews, it\u2019s clear that purchasers absolutely adore this set once they\u2019ve finished it. Some complaints common to LEGO reviews-missing parts, confusing instructions-are hardly mentioned for this model.<\/p>\n<p>For $67, you\u2019re getting a 921-piece anniversary edition with display stand for 20% off its standard price. The combination of iconic subject matter, substantial piece count, premium display presentation, and collectible status delivers genuine value at this pricing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center not-prose\"><a class=\"comp-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.gizmodo.com\/go\/1994\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">See at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LEGO is on fire this Black Friday on Amazon, slashing prices across its Star Wars collection to record&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":148538,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[156,409,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-148537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148537\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
