It's a crime these Lego Star Wars sets are being retired but you can save big before they go

Lego is amazing, and Lego Star Wars in particular. The fact that you can spend $1000 on a gigantic Death Star set is a clear sign it's not just for kids.

But there's a catch; Lego retires sets, meaning that, unless you're willing to pay silly prices on eBay, they're forever out of your reach. Oh, sure, Lego might need space for new sets, and stores likewise, but that's no excuse to rob builders of the best Lego Star Wars sets, especially with Star Wars' 50th anniversary next year.

I've rounded up the best deals on retired or retiring Lego sets. Some of these sets have been this price before Prime Day but don't count on them sticking around much longer.

Save $24 on this Lego model of the first ship you see in Star Wars, pursued by a Star Destroyer right after the opening crawl. View Deal

Save $42 on this Lego Star Wars Guard Gunship, a particularly cool variant of the Republic Gunship.View Deal

Get $10 off this Attack of the Clones troop carrier, which was bumped out by the Venator in Return of the Sith. View Deal

This isn't reduced but it's such an awesome set, a mini-sized model of the original trilogy's biggest vessel, you need this on your shelves. View Deal

Save 20% on the Galactic Empire's heavy-hitter, the Tie Bomber, complete with three minifigures. View Deal

Save $12.00 on this N-1 Starfighter, The Mandalorian's second favorite ship. It's been replaced by the far pricier UCS N-1 set but you can still grab this if you're fast. View Deal

Get $10 off the helmet worn by Captain Rex, a Clone Commander who managed to outlive many of his manufactured brethren. View Deal

This Clone Wars walker is another set that's not reduced but it's such a brilliant, play-friendly build that Lego should be ashamed for retiring it. View Deal

This might be your last chance to pick up a retired Lego Star Wars set before it flies off forever, and it's under $100 on Amazon for Prime Day

Star Wars' Clone Wars-era Republic Gunship may not be a miracle of practicaliy but I think it's cool as heck and that alone is reason enough to pick up this Lego Star Wars Coruscant Guard Gunship, $42 off for Amazon Prime Day.

Save $42 on this Lego Star Wars Coruscant Gunship set

The other reason? This set has already been retired by Lego meaning that not only are you saving big, this could be your last chance to buy the Lego Star Wars Coruscant Guard Gunship, before scalpers start selling it for silly money on eBay.

On top of looking seriously imposing, this Lego set has major play potential. You can swoosh it round the living room, loaded it up with the five included mini figures and accidentally drop Chancellor Palpatine because there's something off about that guy.

If this set isn't to your taste (maybe you're one of those evil Separatists), we've rounded up the Best Lego Star Wars sets. And don't forget to check out our other Prime Day deals.

This is a real Prime Day deal double-whammy. Not only is this Lego Star Wars Coruscant Guard Gunship $42 off, the cheapest it has ever been, but as a retired set this could be your last chance to own it. Without paying silly money to eBay scalpers, that is; it's already sold out on Lego's website.

Not only does this set look good on a shelf, but it has got real potential, with opening and closing doors, firing missiles and a special handle to swoosh it around your living room!

It also boasts five minifigures: Three Clone Troopers, Chancellor Palpatine and Senator Padme Amidala. Go on, Padme, give Palpatine a push. It'll save you a lot of trouble in the long run.

If you love the Clone Wars era of Star Wars, this is a superb offer but you'll have to move fast.

Key features: 1083 pieces, builder's age 9+, 27.5 × 5.5 × 14.5 × 16 in. / 15 × 37 × 41 cm size

Product launched: September 2023

Price history: We've seen the price drop a little, but this is the lowest it's ever been and likely your last chance to buy it.

Price comparison: Amazon: $98

Reviews consensus: We loved the UCS Lego Star Wars Republic gunship, and this smaller model is also extremely cool, albeit with just five figures. Its Amazon reviews are near unanimous; few complain about the price tag and this price cut addresses that.

✅ Buy it if: You want a brilliant, play-friendly set to go with your other Clone Wars Lego sets.

❌ Don't buy it if: You're not a fan of the Clone Wars era. Instead, consider something like this Lego Star Destroyer, also reduced for Prime Day.

As challenges go, one of the biggest trials in life is buying a gift for someone else's child. Assuming you like their respective adults, a drum set or a Nerf gun is right out. Fortunately, our expert Tantse Walter has the answer, with this impressive but pocket-friendly Astronaut Galaxy Projector.

Despite the name, this cool projector, which Tantse gifted to her nephews, projects both stars and galaxies. It's not scientifically accurate, but it punches well above its price tag.

In Tantse's review of the Astronaut Galaxy Projector called it "a well-made novelty star projector that every kid, or space fan, will love to have in their bedroom," and even if the kids in question aren't skywatchers, it could well kindle their interest in the cosmos.

With its remote control, customizable displays and 45-90 minutes sleep timer, adults will find it a handy meditation tool or relaxation tool too. At $25, this Astronaut Galaxy star projector is a superb gift that can transform any room.

Reviews consensus: In our review of the Astronaut Star Projector, expert Tantse awarded it four stars out of five and Amazon purchasers rank it even higher.

Space: ★★★★
