Lego’s Star Wars Boost Droid Commander set comes with 1,177 pieces to let you (or your little Resistance of First Order trainees) build three different droids from the “Star Wars” universe: the iconic R2-D2, a Gonk Droid and a small Mouse Droid. The models combine with a motor, color sensor, distance sensor, Bluetooth hub and Lego’s Boost coding app to let you control one of the three robots at any given time.
You can build all three robots out of the box, but only drive one of them at a time.
R2-D2 stands over 7 inches (20 centimeters) high and is 3 inches (10cm) long and 5 inches (14 cm) wide. The Gonk Droid is a walking robot (unlike R2-D2 and the Mouse Droid) and is over 7 inches (18 cm) high, 6 inches (16 cm) long and 3 inches (9cm) wide. The Mouse Droid is over 5 inches (14 cm) high, 6 inches (17 cm) long and 3 inches (9 cm) wide.
Prime Day deals are only available to people with an Amazon Prime account. Prime costs $119 per year, but users can try it free for 30 days.
