It's a crime these Lego Star Wars sets are being retired but you can save big before they go
I love Lego Star Wars but I think it should be illegal to retire sets, especially with the Star Wars 50th anniversary next year. Luckily, there are big savings on these retired and retiring models.

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.
Save $42 on this Lego Star Wars Guard Gunship, a particularly cool variant of the Republic Gunship.
Get $10 off this Attack of the Clones troop carrier, which was bumped out by the Venator in Return of the Sith.
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.
Save 20% on the Galactic Empire's heavy-hitter, the Tie Bomber, complete with three minifigures.
