LEGO Star Wars sets have become hot collectibles that fly off shelves even among people who’ve never seen a single movie. The appeal goes way beyond fandom: these are legitimate display pieces that look expensive sitting on a desk or shelf, and they provide hours of meditative building that actually helps you unwind after work.
This particular Millennium Falcon model celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Lego Star Wars line has a perfect 4.9 out of 5 stars from nearly 1,800 reviews and ranks as one of Amazon’s best-selling sets even at full price. Right now, Amazon has dropped it from $84 to just $67, which is the lowest price this set has ever been.

This isn’t one of the gigantic 7,500-piece LEGO sets that occupies half your dining room table for a month: The build with 921 pieces is big enough to be a true project but small enough that you can tackle it over a long weekend or a couple of easy evenings. The completed model is 5 inches high, 9.5 inches long, and 7.5 inches wide which is a nice size to sit nicely on a bookshelf.
The model builds the Millennium Falcon as seen in A New Hope with true-to/detail features such as the characteristic cockpit offset to the right side of the vessel, the disc-shaped satellite dish resting on top, and the four-laser cannons placed at the upper and lower panels. The plates of the exterior embody the worn, lived-in appearance of the galaxy’s fastest hunk of junk with the greebling and textured panels that give depth and realism to the classic saucer form.
The included display stand is what elevates this from a toy to a legitimate decorative piece: The stand angles the ship at a dynamic tilt that makes it look like it’s banking through space during a chase sequence. This angled presentation adds visual interest and creates the impression of motion, which is way more engaging than a flat horizontal display. The stand includes a printed nameplate that reads “Millennium Falcon” along with a special 25th Anniversary Lego Star Wars commemorative brick, marking this as part of the anniversary collection.
In the $67 rather than $84 range, this offers a 20% savings as the lowest price this anniversary set has seen since release.
