While the Imperial Probe Droid may only have made a brief but threatening appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, it remains one of the most iconic droids in Star Wars. This 683-piece LEGO set impressively recreates it and is currently on sale at a discounted price.
The best deal we found before the holidays was Walmart Considering it usually retails for around $70 or more and is on sale for $70 on Amazon, it’s a great value this holiday season. Unfortunately, Walmart says this won’t arrive between Christmas and New Year’s, but if you’re desperate to get it before the 25th, you have some options.
