If you or somebody you know are a hardcore Star Wars fan, then there’s really no way to go wrong with a Lego set that’s inspired by Star Wars, especially if you also love Legos. One example is this really great stormtrooper mech Lego, which is pretty cool, although probably not something that you might immediately recognize. Either way, if you’d like to pick it up, Walmart has a great discount that brings it down from its original $16 price tag to $11. So it’s a fun little thing to get, especially if you’re already going to be ordering other stuff from Walmart.

Why you should buy the LEGO Star Wars Stormtrooper Mech

Of course, if you’re a first-time watcher of Star Wars films, then you might not be familiar with the stormtrooper mech, but for those who keep up with the films and the animated stuff, we know that it’s from the Lego Star Wars web series, which sadly isn’t cannon. Even so, it’s still a fun toy to play with, especially if you have other non-cannon sets, or if you have a kid in your life (which might also be the kid inside you), it’s fun to just mess around with when combined with other sets.

As for building it, it’s 136 pieces, so it’s simple enough that even a kid can build it and play with it, and it’s actually a great way to introduce them to the world of Star Wars. In fact, you could watch the Star Wars films in order as you build and play with the set together, especially if you also grab a few more sets. For example, you could go with the for $24 instead of $30, or if the dark side calls to you more, the is going for $30 instead of $25.

Overall, while this Lego Star Wars Stormtrooper Mech set might not be canonical to the Star Wars universe, it’s a fun toy to grab, especially with the discount from Walmart bringing it down to $11 from $16. If none of these tickle your fancy, then there’s also a big Amazon Lego sale you can check out as well.

Xbox Series X on a table.

Walmart has one of the better Xbox Series X deals that’s perfect for gifting someone this Christmas. Today, you can buy the Xbox Series X for $349 thereby saving a huge $150 off the original price of $499. Proving to be hugely popular, this is a deal that gamers really aren’t going to want to miss out on. If you’re keen to learn more, keep reading while we take you through the benefits or you can simply hit the button below if you know it’s the one for you.

Why you should buy the Xbox Series X
The Xbox Series X is the most powerful games console around at the moment with 12 teraflops of processing power, which provides games with stunning 4K visuals. It can achieve 120 frames per second along with HDR technology and exceptional cooling. Sure, it’s not the best looking of consoles around but it’s certainly powerful. Storage wise, it has 1TB of hard drive space with 802GB of that being usable. You’ll need to buy a dedicated storage upgrade card if you want to improve upon that.

Save $50 on the Xbox Series S with 3 months of Game Pass Ultimate

While a lot of folks tend to focus on how powerful consoles are, there's a lot to be said about providing an affordable experience, even with slightly less power. The Nintendo Switch has been doing it for years, and for the most part, the Xbox Series S gives a similar experience but has been almost completely ignored, even though it's still an excellent console. Well, if you're willing to give it a shot, you can get it from Best Buy for just $250 instead of the usual $300, and you even get three months of Xbox Game Pass thrown in.

Why you should buy the Xbox Series S
Even though the Xbox Series S gets a bad reputation for being somewhat underpowered, many folks who are still not using 4k TVs can take advantage of its lower price without losing much in the process. Let's get this out of the way first: the Series S is not made to run on 4k and is capped at 1440p, and honestly, even running it at 1080p is probably the best option. That may not seem great, but if you're running a smaller gaming monitor, 1080p is still a perfectly solid resolution, as is 1440p, so if you plan to use the Series S in a bedroom with a smaller TV, then you've really found the perfect use-case.
