October 10: Most of these Lego Millennium Falcon offers are still live, but a few are starting to creep back up in price (the Dark Falcon and midi-size model, specifically). If you want to grab them for as little as possible, it may be a good idea to act sooner than later!
I wasn't expecting to write about all Lego Millennium Falcon sets going on offer for Prime Day when I woke up this morning, but there we are.
Let's cut to the chase; you can save on each of the four current Lego Millennium Falcon kits if you mosey on down to Amazon, from the biggest Ultimate Collector Series model to the more affordable midi-size version. The best of these Prime Day offers would be a £185 reduction on the UCS Millennium Falcon (bringing it to £549.99 at Amazon instead of £735) and a saving on the brand-new Dark Falcon model (which is £127.99 at Amazon rather than £160).
Want something a little more affordable? I got you, boo. The smaller display version of the Lego Millennium Falcon - which I'd argue is best for most people - has dipped to £54.99 at Amazon, down from £75.
I'm a little shocked at how good this year's Prime Day Lego deals have been so far. They aren't normally bad by any means, but this is unheard of. In all my time covering the event, I don't think I've seem such steep discounts on such high-profile sets; those are normally held back for Black Friday.
Which Lego Millennium Falcon should you buy?
OK, here's the hard part. Of all the Lego Millennium Falcon sets on offer, which one should you actually pick up? They all deserve a place amongst the best Lego sets, after all.
For me, it depends on a couple of factors. To start with, how much room do you have to display it? If you're short on space and/or don't want to break the bank, the smaller version is what I'd recommend. As mentioned in my Lego Millennium Falcon (75375) review, it doesn't compromise on quality in the slightest despite being more affordable. It can be finished in an evening and looks awesome on its built-in stand, too.
Secondly, how much detail do you want? If you've got the budget, space, and time, the Lego UCS Millennium Falcon is the ultimate Star Wars set - no questions asked. Besides being an absolute monster at several thousand pieces strong, it packs in many nods to the saga and features loads of minifigures from across the series (though Lando is absent, which is weird). Seeing this thing in person is jaw-dropping, too. However, it has a price tag to match... even when discounted for Prime Day.
A good alternative is the Rise of Skywalker variant, as it's much cheaper but still has the size to cram in lots of detail. Whether you get this one or not will depend on how happy you are to get minifigures from Episode 9. It's great that Finn, Chewie, C-3PO, and R2-D2 are included, to say nothing of that awesome Lando minifig, but you may miss the presence of Han Solo.
That's probably why the Dark Falcon is my least favorite of the bunch. Despite being the newest and a very impressive set, it's based on the 'Rebuild the Galaxy' spin-off so doesn't have the staying power these other ones do.
Either way, I wouldn't hang about; I can't see these offers lasting for long.
