Skip the queue: Pick up LEGO Star Wars Desert Skiff at a discount

Lucky enough to pick up Jabba’s Sail Barge on day one and want the Desert Skiff to go with it? It’s on back order at LEGO.com, but you can grab it from Zavvi right now at a discount.

This year’s flagship LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series set was preceded by its companion piece in 75396 Desert Skiff & Sarlacc Pit, a 558-piece model that includes all the main characters missing from 75397 Jabba’s Sail Barge alongside its eponymous builds. It’s basically a necessary purchase for anyone picking up the Khetanna, but the bad news is that it won’t ship until October 11 from the official online store.

The good news is that it’s available with immediate delivery at Zavvi – and you can even save money while skipping the queue thanks to the retailer’s 10% discount on 75396 Desert Skiff & Sarlacc Pit. That brings the price of the LEGO Star Wars summer 2024 set down to £62.99, which is already a more palatable price to pay than the set’s relatively high RRP of £69.99.

For your money you’ll get minifigures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian and Boba Fett, as well as a bonus 25th-anniversary minifigure of Nien Nunb (marking the first time the Rebel Alliance hero has appeared in the LEGO Star Wars theme). That completes the collection of key characters necessary to recreate the opening scenes of Return of the Jedi with 75397 Jabba’s Sail Barge.

If you’ve just put the finishing touches to that UCS set and are keen to add 75396 Desert Skiff & Sarlacc Pit to your display, head over to Zavvi and snap it up now with 10% off. And if you haven’t yet picked up 75397 Jabba’s Sail Barge, you can do so now at LEGO.com and qualify for two free gifts. 40728 Brite Bomber is available until end of play today (October 7), while 40697 Halloween Pumpkin is available through October 14, or while stocks last.
