Labor Day: Lego Star Wars, Minecraft, Mario, more on sale at Walmart

As you may know, holidays are a great time to pick up a new Lego set as they typically go on sale. Walmart, in particular, tends to be a great place to do a big Lego set pickup. This year, for Labor Day sales, we’re noticing that Walmart has a smaller selection of items for sale than on a typical holiday, but many of them are of exceptional high quality and on fun sets with quirky ideas. Here are the deals to check out from Walmart’s Labor Day Lego sale.

They’ll also get to use their imagination, customizing the ship with their other Lego pieces or making modifications to make the Boba Fett ship of their dreams.
