LEGO Goes Big for Prime Day, Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer Set Drops to a New All-Time Low
LEGO's Star Wars line has consistently been among its most popular, after Harry Potter, in terms of fan support and sales. During Prime Day this week, Amazon is offering deep discounts on all of its LEGO Star Wars lines but one set outsells the others: the Imperial Star Destroyer set. Rarely discounted in price and always in demand, this set is now the top-selling toy construction set and the top-selling LEGO set of any type. Right now, the LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer can be obtained for just $111, down from its regular price of $159. This huge 30% discount marks a new all-time low and with over 10,000 units sold in the past month alone, this set inevitably might sell out soon. See at Amazon With 1,555 pieces, the Imperial Star Destroyer model rises above 6 inches tall, 18 inches long, and 11 inches deep when assembled, a complete showstopper for any space. The actual process of building is rewarding and enjoyable, hours of creative pleasure watching as you bring the iconic starship to life one brick at a time. There's also a mind-blowing selection of mini-figures: They are Darth Vader, Commander Praji, an Imperial Gunner, an Imperial Navy Trooper, a Stormtrooper, and a special 25th anniversary version mini-figure of Cal Kestis so making this set a dream come true for fans and collectors. Each mini-figure is packed full of authentic details and the set's interior is just as satisfying including a bridge, command room, break room, armory, control panels, and even a cargo box containing Kyber Crystal and thermal detonator parts. It also features a hidden foldout carry handle for easy flight play, two spring-loaded shooters for action sequences and a lift-off top section with foldout side sections that open to reveal the intricate interior. Kids and adults can recreate their greatest moments from the original trilogy or make new ones, all with the same strong construction and thoughtful design that has made LEGO so beloved. Apart from build and play, this set is a true collector's item: LEGO Star Wars sets in general become more valuable and limited-time releases like this one are rare indeed. The Imperial Star Destroyer's status as a #1 best seller on Amazon and the fact that it contains anniversary content make this a particularly attractive option if you're looking to expand your collection. Since this offer is only for Prime members and stock is moving fast, now is the perfect time to act. See at Amazon

Prime Day Deal: Save a Door-Busting $48 on the Massive Lego Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer
Lego/CNET Prime Day deals are coming at us left and right, and trying to sift through them all is keeping us on our toes. With big discounts across all categories, we're seeing some epic savings on tablets, laptops, TVs and more. While that's all well and good, we're also seeing some enticing offers on one of our favorite Lego Star Wars sets. Right now Amazon has the Lego Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer set marked down to just $112, a 30% discount. This saves you $48 right off the top. This massive playset contains 1,555 pieces. Recommended for ages 10 and up, it's also a great project for adults or teens to build with younger kids. The set includes seven different Star Wars minifigures, including Darth Vader, Commander Praji, an Imperial gunner, Imperial navy trooper and a Lego Star Wars 25th anniversary Cal Kestis. Oh, and there's also a very short stormtrooper. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Diehard fans will enjoy the process of building the Star Wars starship set including the bridge, command room, break room, armory, control panels, cargo box with Kyber Crystal and thermal detonator elements. The top panel lifts off and the side panels fold out for ease of play. There is also a hidden foldout carry handle so you can play with it in flight mode. And perhaps best of all, there are two spring-loaded shooters so you can "pewm! pewm!" your way around the living room. Why this deal matters Lego doesn't offer dramatic discounts year round. We typically see the prices drop around Prime Day and Black Friday. A 30% discount is one of the higher drops we've seen, and certainly one of the best prices we've seen in 2025. At this price, it might even be worth considering as an advanced holiday purchase that you can hide away until December.

Lost Records and Blue Prince are coming to the PlayStation Game Catalog at launch
The spiritual successor to Life is Strange is heading to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog as a day-one freebie. The first installment of Don't Nod's Lost Records: Bloom & Rage hits Sony's subscription service later this month, along with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and immersive tennis in TopSpin 2K25. In addition, Sony previewed a couple of other cool-looking day-one titles heading to the service before long: Blue Prince and Abiotic Factor. Lost Records: Bloom & Rage tells the story of four high school friends (and punk rockers!) living in a deceptively picturesque Michigan town in 1995. The narrative adventure jumps between that era and 2022 as we gradually peel back the layers of, well, some freaky-ass stuff the girls uncovered. Each timeline gives you more of a glimpse into the 'life-changing secrets' they stumbled upon back when Blues Traveler was on the charts — and why they're reuniting 27 years later. If you were into the Life is Strange series, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage should be right up your alley. See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. By signing up, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy. PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members can claim the game on its February 18 release date. And if you get sucked into the world, you won't have long to wait for the next chapter: It arrives in the April 15 batch of Sony's catalog. That's also when Extra and Premium subscribers can claim Respawn's Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. The follow-up to Jedi: Fallen Order puts you back in the boots of Cal Kestis as he tries to fend off the Empire and rebuild the Jedi Order. In our 2023 preview, Engadget's Igor Bonifacic found it to be a bigger and better (if perhaps a bit too safe) sequel with larger worlds and new Force abilities to explore, as well as a handy grappling hook to kick it like Bionic Commando. Arriving a bit later is Blue Prince, Dogubomb's clever title that takes the escape room concept and expands it into an entire mansion. Set in 1993, you inherit Mount Holly Estate, a sprawling building with a layout that changes daily. You get to choose its room configurations. The mansion has 45 rooms; your challenge is to find the 46th before all of your allotted movements expire. 'Each door is a decision,' the developer promises. 'And each room you pick adds another layer of strategy, puzzles and exploration to your adventure.' PS Plus subscribers can step into the mysterious world of Blue Prince on its release date 'this spring.' Another day-one Plus title, Abiotic Factor is a six-player survival crafting game. Deep Field Games' creepy title has throwback graphics and a survival crafting vibe. Up to six players (but you can play solo, too) take on the roles of scientists stranded miles underground in a strange research facility. 'Caught between paranormal containment failure, a military crusade and chaos from a dozen realms, the world's greatest minds must survive against the universe's biggest threats,' the game blurb reads. It arrives as a day-one Game Catalog release this summer. Other titles available for Premium and Extra members on February 18 include Hangar 13's TopSpin 2K25, where you can play as (among others) Serena Williams, Roger Federer or even throwbacks like Maria Sharapova and John McEnroe. The 2021 remake of the 1998 RPG SaGa Frontier is also on tap, as well as narrative sci-fi adventure Somerville, puzzle game Tin Hearts and the medieval slash-'em-up Mordhau.
