More LEGO Star Wars sets on discount from Amazon.com [News]

Presumably in advance of the impending release of summer 2017 LEGO Star Wars sets, Amazon.com is heavily discounting a number of sets from The Force Awakens, Rogue One, and Rebels.

75148 Encounter on Jakku from The Force Awakens is a whopping 40% off, listed at only $35.76 (down from $60). This is the only set so far that includes Unkar Plutt, and the Luggabeast with Teedo is definitely the highlight of the set.

75154 TIE Striker from Rogue One is 34% off $45.88. We thought this set wasn’t worth the full $70 price tag when we reviewed the LEGO TIE Striker, but this is definitely a much more palatable price for 543 pieces.

I recently built 75157 Captain Rex’s AT-TE, and it’s actually quite an excellent set — a solid AT-TE in its own right, with some really fun play features added on to depict the vehicle as it appears in the second season of Rebels. The set is 36% off at $77, down from $120.

In case you didn’t pick up the first wave of LEGO Star Wars sets from The Force Awakens at the end of 2015, several of those sets are on discount, and are likely to disappear soon:

Though less likely to disappear as quickly as the older sets, several of the excellent Rogue One sets are also 20% off:
