Save a massive $80 on Lego's 2,319-piece Chewbacca set in this Lego Star Wars Black Friday deal. Having had multiple discounts this Black Friday, this is the cheapest I've ever seen Chewie, and I can't see it getting any cheaper. Space's best Lego Star Wars guide tends to favor ships and droids, but I still love this brick-built Wookiee.
Lego currently has 40% off Lego Chewbacca, making the set just $199.99 instead of $199.99.
Over the last decade, I've bought a lot of Lego. Certainly more than is normal and definitely more than I have space for. Any new Lego set is exciting, but it's especially so when it's a discounted new set. My rule of thumb is anything above a 20% saving on a new Lego set is a great deal, and so, I think this is a deal worth jumping on if you want to add Chewbacca to your collection.

Lego Star Wars Chewbacca is made up of 2,319 pieces, which means this is a build for experienced Lego users only. With an awful lot of layered brown pieces to recreate Chewie's fur, the building process can sometimes be a bit repetitive — but the finished result makes it more than worth it.
There are some neat details here, like Chewbacca's bandolier, a handy pouch and his bowcaster, complete with a fabric strap. The bowcaster even shoots studs, giving it an element of play (although I wouldn't necessarily encourage you to go shooting studs all over the place — they're a nightmare to find!)
Lego Star Wars Chewbacca is a set that looks fantastic by itself, but if you have other brick-built Star Wars characters — like C-3PO or R2-D2 — it makes a wonderful addition to the collection.
Key features: 2,319 pieces, age 18+, 18 inch/46cm tall

Price history: Before today's deal, we had a $145 at Amazon listed as a great deal (it's now sold out). We haven't seen Chewbacca as low as $120 before, so we'd recommend jumping on this if you don't want to miss out.
Price comparison: Amazon: SOLD OUT | Walmart: $197.94 | Lego: $120
Reviews consensus: We haven't reviewed Lego Star Wars Chewbacca yet but with an overwhelming amount of five-star ratings on the Lego website, it's safe to say that fans love it.
✅ Buy it if: You're a big Star Wars fan and have a soft spot for everyone's favorite Wookiee.
❌ Don't buy it if: You're fairly new to Lego: this is a time-consuming and complex build that we wouldn't recommend to newcomers. The Yavin 4 Rebel Base is an easier build that's still a lot of fun — and it comes with a Chewie minifigure.
