New deals popped up today on some fun toys like the gargantuan LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon, the highly rated Wingspan board game, and a really cute SNES Classic Christmas ornament from Hallmark. You can still save on some of the best deals of the week on Nintendo eShop gift cards and PS5 SSD upgrades.
LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon 75192
LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon 75192 7,541-Piece Building Kit
The LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon, one of the largest LEGO consumer set ever created, is on sale today at Amazon. It normally commands an equally imposing price tag of $849.99, but today you can get it for $770.69. That’s about $80 than the current MSRP and $30 less than the pre-hike MSRP.
For those of you playing catch up, the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) Millennium Falcon was unveiled during Force Friday 2017. With 7,541 bricks, it boasts 1,190 more pieces than the previous biggest LEGO consumer set ever, the Taj Mahal, and 2,346 more pieces than the previous UCS Millennium Falcon which was released back in 2007. This behemoth measures 8″ high, 33″ long, and 22″ wide and weighs 29 pounds.
LEGO Ninjago City Gardens 71741
LEGO Ninjago City Gardens 71741 5.685-Piece Building Kit
When it comes down to value, this LEGO Ninjago City Gardens set cannot be beat. This set includes well over 5,000 pieces. At $299.99, that averages to just over 5 cents a brick, less than half of our 10-cents-per-brick deal threshold. Add to the fact that the bricks included are of several different colors (not all gray) and shapes, as well as 19 total minifigs, you can see that there’s a ton of value here. The LEGO Ninjago brand is exceedingly popular as well, moreso with the younger audience, and the building is quite imposing at 29 inches tall.
Wingspan Board Game for $38.81
Wingspan from Stonemeier Games is an incredibly good board game. So good in fact that we deemed it the best board game of 2019. Wingspan looks like a deceptively simple game; the endgame goal is to attract as many birds as you can to your wildlife preserve and help them proliferate. There are only four actions you can perform: draw a bird card, play a bird card, get food, and lay eggs. Sounds simple enough, right? Well let’s just say these four actions mask an incredibly complex engine-building game with which you will have to juggle between bringing new birds into the fold and keeping your existing birds well stocked and in a breeding frenzy. Wingspan is infinitely replayable, and you’ll find yourself developing and honing new strategies with every subsequent playthough.
Hallmark Keepsake SNES Console Ornament for $14
Hallmark Keepsake Christmas Ornament 2022, Super Nintendo (SNES) Console, Light and Sound
Every year Hallmark introduces a new gaming themed Christmas ornament, and in 2021 it was the SNES console, complete with dual controllers and a Super Mario World game cartridge. Even better, turn on the switch and the ornament illuminates as well as plays sounds from the original Super Mario World game. If you like decorating your tree with unique pieces, this one is totally worth the price.

For PC gamers, there’s also an updated Game Mode 2.0 utility that’s designed to tune the SSD for better performance during gaming sessions. The SN850X is one of the best SSDs you can buy for your PS5 but you’ll want to add your own heatsink.

Amazon is offering a free Elite Strap when your purchase the $399 Meta Quest 2 VR headset. The Elite Strap normally costs $60 by itself and is a more comfortable and more adjustable alternative to the stock flex headband. The Quest 2 VR headset is still the best way to get your hands into true quality VR gaming without breaking the bank; with the exception of the currently $449 HP Reverb G2, all other comparable VR headsets cost $600 or more right now, and of course most are tethered.

The AMD Ryzen 6 6900HX is one of the best gaming mobile CPUs that AMD has to offer (the 7000 series isn’t out yet) and you’d have to step up to a pricier Intel Core i9 Alder Lake to match its performance. The RTX 3060 in this G15 laptop is one of the faster variants out there thanks to its max TGP rating of 130W with dynamic boost. It’s more powerful than the RTX 2070 and will handle just about any game you can throw at it on the 1080p display.
