Scratch that. Happening right now in the exciting online world of e-commerce is an out-of-this-world deal on an iconic vehicle from the classic "Star Wars" trilogy: the Imperial Shuttle, in LEGO form.

Thanks to Walmart's Black Friday Deals for Days sales event, the LEGO Imperial Shuttle 75302 Building Toy is available for $40, which is a significant savings from its usual retail price of $70.

Since 1999, the LEGO Group has been recreating the iconic starships, characters, vehicles, and locations from the "Star Wars" universe; LEGO Star Wars is now its most successful theme. And with products like the LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle, it’s easy to see why. The 660-piece set, recommended for ages 9 and above, is an impressive recreation of the foreboding ship, which, according to Starwars.com, is “an elegant example that stands apart from typical brutish Imperial engineering.”

The design’s features, like the original spacecraft from the movie, seamlessly blend form and function, including foldable wings for flight and landing modes, an opening minifigure cockpit, and the main opening compartment with space for two LEGO minifigures. And speaking of those all-important minifigures (because let’s face it, no LEGO set is complete without one), also included are Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and an Imperial Officer, along with lightsabers and a blaster pistol. Add in two stud shooters on the shuttle itself, and you’ve got endless options for hours of serious battles.

And when it’s not in use, the Imperial Shuttle also makes for a snazzy display piece in its own right (measuring 10 inches high, 9 inches long, and 14 inches wide). 

As Yoda might say: Buy one, you should.
