With Christmas fast approaching and Black Friday sales in full swing, British shoppers are hunting for the perfect festive gifts. For fans of a galaxy far, far away, a standout offer has emerged from Argos, featuring a significant discount on a special edition LEGO Star Wars set.
The Black Friday Bargain
The LEGO Star Wars The Dark Falcon Building Toy (set 75389) is now available for £112, a substantial saving of £48 from its original price of £160. This deal makes the iconic starship a much more accessible present for both children and adult collectors during the festive season.
This particular model is inspired by the Rebuild the Galaxy Disney+ special, presenting a dark, alternate-universe version of the legendary Millennium Falcon. The set includes a generous 1,579 pieces, offering a challenging and engaging build. Once completed, the ship measures an impressive 43cm by 32cm, creating a striking display piece for any room.
What's Inside the Box?
The set is notable for its six unique minifigures, which reimagine classic characters. Builders get to play with Darth Jar Jar, Bounty Hunter C-3PO, Darth Dev, Darth Rey, Beach Luke, and Jedi Vader. Each figure comes with accessories and lightsabers, adding to the play value.
The Dark Falcon itself is packed with interactive features. It includes a removable cockpit that seats two minifigures, a gunner post, and a removable top to access the detailed interior. For defensive action, the ship is equipped with spring-loaded shooters, cannons, and a radar dish. The set is recommended for builders aged 10 and over.
Shopper Reviews and Sustainable Building
Customer feedback on the Argos website has been largely positive. One reviewer praised the "excellent value for money" and the welcome addition of the alternate-universe figures. Another called it a "great set! Good building experience and looks great on display!"
LEGO also highlights its commitment to sustainability through the Lego Replay programme. This initiative allows consumers to send their old, unused bricks to the company, which then donates them to children in need.
While most reviews are glowing, some buyers offered constructive comparisons. One noted that while their son loved the set, they felt it was "a bit expensive". Another, reviewing on the official LEGO website, preferred the hinge mechanism on an older Millennium Falcon model but still concluded that they loved the sleek and cool design of this new version.
This Black Friday deal from Argos provides a prime opportunity to secure a high-quality, entertaining, and display-worthy LEGO set at a significant discount, just in time for Christmas.
