It may be May the 5th to us on Earth, but in a galaxy far, far away — on Planet Best Buy, of course — they're still in full May the 4th mode. You can find the Lego Star Wars Smart Play Millenium Falcon set on sale for $79.99 at Best Buy as the May 5 drop of the day.

This is the first time this set has been discounted since its release in January, according to price tracker camelcamelcamel. Remember: You'll only find this special deal in the free Best Buy mobile app (Best Buy drops don't show up in a web browser.) From there, you can add it to your cart and check out like usual. Since all Best Buy drops have a limited inventory, you'll want to keep an eye on the live status bar of the percentage left.

The Smart Play-compatible Millenium Falcon set contains 885 pieces, slightly less than the 921 pieces of the 25th Anniversary Millenium Falcon midi-scale build (which is on sale for $67.99). The removable top folds out for more ways to play inside, like a game of holochess. You'll get four Smart Tags for four Smart Minifigures: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and C-3PO.

Adding a Smart Brick activates the interactive light and sound effects like hyperdrive leaping to light speed, laser-shooting battles, fuel explosions, and Lightsaber clashes. Smart Play-compatible sets don't come with a Smart Brick — you'll only be able to find a Smart Brick in all-in-one sets. Put the $20 you saved at Best Buy toward Darth Vader's TIE Fighter and it's only $49.99, kind of.

If you're a Lego Insider, we'd suggest grabbing your all-in-one set at Lego.com. All Lego Star Wars Smart Play purchases through May 6 earn double the points, which can be redeemed later for even more Lego discounts. Spending $40 on Star Wars sets also unlocks a free Razor Crest mini-build.

Need to get rid of old Legos before bringing home new ones? You can recycle unwanted Bricks and minifigures using the Lego Replay free mail-in service.
