Amazon currently offers the Bandai Star Wars 1/5000th Star Destroyer Model Kit for $108 shipped. Usually selling for $140, today’s offer is good for a 23% discount, comes within $0.50 of our previous mention, and is only $4 more than the all-time low. Bandai’s Star Destroyer model kit stacks up to 12.6-inches long and is assembled out of eight different sheets of colored pieces. No tools are required to build, but a pair of sprue cutters will certainly come in handy. Replicating many of the ship’s details from A New Hope, Bandai has also included miniature versions of the Millennium Falcon and Tantive IV Blockade Runner. Best of all, it includes a lighting kit so you can make the ship come to life in your collection. With 100 customers having left a review, it carries a 4.3/5 star rating. You can learn more in our launch coverage. More below.
Bring the Star Destroyer into your collection without the premium lighting kit installed for $74 at Amazon. Here you’ll score nearly the same model, just without the ability to complete the ship with realistic lighting.
Looking for another way to assemble a piece of a galaxy far, far away? There are plenty of alternatives to choose from at Amazon that have more affordable price tags. For Imperial sympathizers, the 1/72 Tie Interceptor will cost $22, or you could grab a 1/48th scale AT-ST for under $27.
