Legos continue to be a healthy way for kids (and adults) to explore building, spatial creativity, and their favorite franchises. The beloved world of Star Wars has great Lego deals going on right now, with everything from the classic characters to TIE fighters being represented. Here, we want to take a look at some of the best deals, based on popularity of the product, variety of Star Wars moments, and price adjustment, to give you a good idea about what you should look into buying. We’ll be looking at things from a variety of price ranges, too, so you can use that last $10 of birthday money or find an elaborate gift for a loved one.

The best Lego Star Wars deals

Lego Star Wars Boba Fett’s Starship Microfighter —
Lego Star Wars 501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack Set —
Lego Star Wars The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter —
Lego Star Wars Imperial TIE Fighter —
Lego Star Wars Darth Vader Helmet Set —
Lego Star Wars Emperor’s Throne Room Diorama —

Of all of these deals, we have to like the one for the the most. It works as an extremely popular gift, can be used as a decoration about the home or battlestation, and has a puzzle-like aura to it with its mostly black pieces. The finished model stands at about eight inches tall. Note that you cannot wear this model as helmet, rather it stands as a decorative monument to the infamous Star Wars baddie. The next models will satisfy your more action-based needs more.

For more active models for younger builders, the might be a better choice. Both Star Wars fans and non Star Wars fans can both agree that shooting missiles out of tanks is pretty cool and the roleplaying adventures the squad can get up to will certainly be legendary.

Want to combine the shooting and the activity while also getting some cool Star Wars characters? The has a full N-1 Starfighter from The Mandalorian, alongside a Baby Yoda, Grogu, and Droid figurines plus the ability to shoot. Fly your ship and shoot a missile on the go! Can you hit your intended target?

Best gaming console deals: cheapest prices on PS5, Xbox S and X and Switch

While gaming PCs are great, if you're the type of person who wants a more plug and play experience and to sit at the TV, then a PS5 or Xbox makes a lot of sense. That said, there aren't a ton of great deals on the consoles themselves right now, although there are still quite a few good bundle deals that are worth grabbing. To that end, we've gone out and collected our favorite Series S and X deals, PlayStation 5 deals, and Nintendo Switch deals, so you can pick whichever one sparks your fancy.
Xbox Series S 1TB + 1TB Storage Expansion Card -- $450 $500 10% off

The Xbox Series S is the less powerful but cheaper option out of the newest generation Xbox line. When comparing the Xbox Series S versus the Xbox Series X, the Series S takes a hit in all the component categories. That means it's not quite as fast. But if you're not hung up on getting the optimal performance out of your system, you'll actually notice very few differences. The two biggest ones are the Series S's inability to play in 8K, and its lack of a disc drive. Most people don't even have 8K TVs, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're alright with downloading all of your games straight to the console's memory (and you have a separate DVD or Blu-Ray player), the Series S will work fine. It's quite a bit smaller anyway, and easier to fit on a shelf.

Its stance stretches to some 19 inches wide, though the armored upper body is posable, allowing you to set the actual pose of the figure. This includes letting you show off light-up pieces that decorate its palms by opening up the fingers and tilting the wrists back. One cool feature is the spacious interior of the Lego Hulkbuster.
