Day 2 of Prime Day is here, and the deals are still rolling in across tech, fitness, and everyday essentials. If you've been considering a new fitness tracker, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is on sale, currently down to $219.99 from $299.99. This isn't its best-ever price, but it's not far off. According to camelcamelcamel, it reached a low of $218.49 back in June.
The Galaxy Watch 8 comes with a range of features designed to help you keep tabs on your health and daily routine. For sleep tracking, Advanced Sleep Coaching and Bedtime Guidance can help you work towards creating a more consistent sleep schedule. Its Energy Score also takes your previous day's sleep, activity, and heart rate into account to give you an overview of how your body is doing.
If you're a runner, you'll get the benefit of the dedicated Running Coach feature that assesses your performance and provides real-time feedback. It also has training plans that can see you through distances up to a marathon.
There are plenty of features for everyday smartwatch use, too. You can check the weather, keep up with sports scores, and see phone notifications without reaching for your phone. The watch also has a built-in AI assistant that can help with tasks and to-do lists.

The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration ETB is down to market price — shop for $159.99 on Prime Day
TL;DR: The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box is available for $159.99 at Amazon. That's close to market price, but does require shoppers to request an invite to buy.

Amazon’s $89.99 deal on the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box sold out fast, but the retailer still offers one of the most reasonable routes to securing this high-demand set — if you're willing to join the waitlist.
The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box is currently listed at $159.99 on Amazon, with shipping and sale handled directly by the retailer. Because inventory remains extremely tight on Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon is routing orders through its "request invite" lottery system. Submitting an invite request reserves your spot in line to purchase the box at list price, without paying inflated secondary-market rates.
At $159.99, Amazon’s price sits close to TCGplayer’s market price. It's also considerably cheaper than Walmart, so even though it hurts to miss out on the $89.99 deal that Amazon was offering a couple of weeks ago, this is still a strong option for collectors.
The 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box is the premier display piece for this milestone expansion. Each ETB comes packed with nine 30th Celebration booster packs, an exclusive full-art foil Nidorina promo card, 16 foil Basic Energy cards, 65 custom card sleeves, damage-counter dice, a condition marker, card dividers, a collector’s player guide, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live.

T-Mobile is giving away the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 for free — how to qualify
TL;DR: The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 is available for free with T-Mobile when you activate a new line or trade in an eligible device on Experience More or Experience Beyond.
Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung T-Mobile: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 for free Get DealWe know everyone is firmly focused on Amazon's October Prime Day right now, but the smartphone deals aren't exactly rocking. We've been forced to look elsewhere for phone deals, like T-Mobile. And it's a good thing we did, because T-Mobile has just dropped a massive carrier promo that takes Samsung's latest flip phone down to absolutely nothing.
Right now, you can score the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 for free at T-Mobile when you activate a new line or trade in an eligible device on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan.
With up to $1,200 in bill credits applied over 36 months, T-Mobile completely offsets the retail cost of Samsung’s flagship foldable, making this one of the strongest carrier trade-in promotions running during October Prime Day.
There are two choices when it comes to claiming this limited-time offer:
Activate a new line on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan. No trade-in phone is required to qualify.
Trade in an eligible device in good standing while on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan to unlock the full credit value over 36 bill cycles.
We should note that T-Mobile does require you to pay local sales tax on the phone's full pre-credit retail price upfront, along with a standard $35 device connection fee. If you cancel your plan early or switch carriers before the three-year mark, the remaining cash balance on the phone becomes due immediately.
Score the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 for free at T-Mobile on Prime Day week.

Amazon's October Prime Day event kicked off in the wee hours of the morning on Oct. 6 with tons of deals begging for your attention. It's tough sorting through what's actually worth your hard-earned cash, so we've taken it upon ourselves to do that part for you.

The newest Apple Watch Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple Watch Series 12 (GPS, 42mm) $349.99 at Amazon$399 Save $49.01 Get Deal Why we like it
Apple's latest flagship smartwatch is just a few weeks old, but it just got its first notable discount for Prime Day. What's new about the Series 12? More regular heart rate variability (HRV) readings, quicker charging, a faster processor, and a new Daily Readiness score. Unfortunately, the battery life is still the same at around 24 hours.

This gorgeous limited-edition ultramarine violet Tundra 45 hard cooler can squeeze in 26 cans with a 2:1 ice-to-contents ratio, can keep ice frozen for days, and is 25% off for Prime members. It's a bit hefty to tote around, but that heft is what makes it virtually indestructible.

However, keep in mind that the $159.99 is for invitation requests only. At only just over $11 above market price, this will sell fast.

The M5 MacBook Air is Mashable's favorite MacBook for most people, thanks to its absurdly powerful M5 chip, sleek design, portability, and unrivaled performance for the price. Our laptop expert Haley Henschel calls it "the sweet spot in Apple's lineup." This $200 discount basically negates the price hike from earlier this year.
Noise-cancelling headphones that are actually comfortable Opens in a new window Credit: Bose Bose QuietComfort Noise-Cancelling Headphones (1st Gen) $169 at Amazon$359.99 Save $190.99 Get Deal Why we like it

Despite the global memory crisis causing steep increases to SSDs, this SanDisk Extreme 1BT Portable SSD is the cheapest it's ever been at $90 off.

If an OLED TV has been on your wishlist, now's a great time to make the leap. The S90H is Samsung's mid-range OLED model from 2026, which is just a step down from our favorite OLED of the year. It packs superior contrast, a brightness increase from last year's model, an upgraded anti-reflection display, support for 4K at 165Hz, and gaming perks like NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. It's also down to its best price ever.
The latest AirPods Pro Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods Pro 3 $179 at Amazon$249 Save $70 Get Deal Why we like it
Time to replace your AirPods? You might as well grab the Pro 3's while they're just $10 away from their best-ever price. They're no longer the latest AirPods, but they are the latest Pro model, featuring a bunch of excellent features — Live Translation, heart rate sensing, adaptive noise cancellation, and three-dimensional spatial audio. They can even act as hearing aids.
A basic Kindle for just over $100 Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Kindle (2024) $103.99 at Amazon$149.99 Save $46.00 Get Deal Why we like it
Amazon raised the prices of its Kindle models over the summer, then dropped a whole batch of new ones. None of the new editions are on sale for October Prime Day, but the basic Kindle from 2024 (the exact model I own) is on sale for just over $100. That knocks it back down below its price pre-increase. While it may not be the newest Kindle on the market, it remains the best e-reader on a budget.

The Supersonic Nural is designed to adjust its airflow and temperature as you dry your hair, using built-in Nural sensors to adapt the device throughout your styling.

A full charge provides up to 120 minutes of runtime, after which the robot can return to its base to recharge. It can then pick up cleaning where it left off, so you don't have to manually restart the session.
You can also schedule cleaning sessions or control the robot using voice commands through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. So, once you've set it up, you can let it get on with cleaning while you focus on something else.

Amazon's October Prime Day is a great time to pick up any kind of tech at a discount. And if you're in need of a new pair of workout earbuds, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are currently $70 off. As of Oct. 7, they're down to $179.95, making this their best-ever price.
The Powerbeats Pro 2 combine a secure ear-hook design with smart features that do more than just play music. They have built-in heart rate monitoring and Active Noise Cancellation to block out surrounding distractions. There's also Transparency mode, which allows you to stay aware of your surroundings when you need to hear things like traffic or other runners.
But the heart rate tracking is one of the biggest reasons to consider these earbuds. Sensors built into the earbuds monitor your pulse during exercise, taking readings more than 100 times per second. They're also IPX4-rated, so they're designed to cope with sweat and splashes from water or rain.
Battery life is another strong point, with up to 45 hours of listening time when you include the charging case. And if you've forgotten to charge them before a workout, a five-minute Fast Fuel charge can provide up to 1.5 hours of playback.
The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are currently available for their lowest price at Amazon, so don't miss out.

Bose's latest mid-range launch, the second-generation QuietComfort headphones, brings the best parts of the QuietComfort Ultra headphones for less money. They offer comparable comfort and noise cancellation (with the latter being manually adjustable), and are the first non-Ultra headphones to feature immersive audio. The ear cushions are replaceable for future proofing, and the sound quality is warm and well-rounded. Plus, they fold up small and have unique colorways, making them great for taking on the go and adding to your outfits.
Pro tip: If you're looking to save even more money, the past-gen Bose QuietComfort headphones (which we also love) are on sale for Prime members for just $169.

None of the noise-cancelling earbuds deals are wowing us currently, which is why our top recommendation is old reliable: our favorite pair of budget earbuds. The EarFun Air Pro 4 punch above their weight class, offering hours of listening time, excellent manually adjustable ANC, solid sound quality, great multipoint pairing, and a companion app with plenty of options for customizing your listening experience. The touch controls are kind of iffy, but that's one of the only areas where these earbuds show their price point.

The best Walmart Fall Deals to shop: TVs, headphones, devices, and toys at steep discounts
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days runs Oct. 6-7, which means every other major retailer is currently scrambling to steal your attention with competing sales. (Honestly, in this economy, I definitely don't blame them.)
Walmart is taking on the retail giant with its own "Fall Deals" event that officially kicked off at 12 a.m. ET on Oct. 5 and runs through Oct. 11. The best part about Walmart's event is that you don't have to be a paid member to shop, though Walmart+ members are eligible for perks like same day delivery on select items. With the main event officially started, we're seeing 50% off home goods, 40% off tech, and 30% off toys.
SEE ALSO: Target Circle Deal Days also runs Oct. 6-7Now that Amazon's sale has also kicked off, we're starting to see more competitive deals from Walmart, which tracks with their approach to sales from years past. As such, all the deals on this list are at least as good, if not better, than deals you'll find at Amazon or other retailers.
A word of caution: If you see a deal that's too good to be true while you're perusing the site, it most likely is. We've found tons of sketchy, third-party sellers selling items with inflated list prices. (Anything you buy should have a little note that reads "Sold and shipped by Walmart.com.") That said, all of the deals in this roundup are legit — it's literally our job to find them for you.

On the product page, this LG TV deal looks decent. However, Walmart didn't list the correct list price for this TV, which is actually $3,699.99. Immediately, this deal becomes much more impressive but get this — it gets even better. The next closest price you can find it for at the time of writing is $2,199.99 at Best Buy. Meanwhile, it's sold out at Amazon and LG's website. And it's the number one best selling OLED TV at Amazon, and a top-rated TV at Best Buy. In other words, this is a really good deal.

I found October Prime Day laptop deals that reverse the price hikes on MacBook Air, Dell XPS 13, and more
I've had a weird year as Mashable's resident laptop reporter. In recent months, many of the models I've covered and tested have gotten anywhere from $100 to $950 more expensive due to the ongoing memory crisis, making it harder to pinpoint truly great values on the market. That's why I've been particularly antsy for Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon's 48-hour "October Prime Day" sale: It's getting the ball rolling on holiday tech deals that negate a lot of those price hikes.
As of Oct. 6, the first day of the sale, I've already spotted some particularly excellent MacBook deals on Amazon. That includes a long-awaited $200 discount on the M5 MacBook Air, which brings the 13-inch model down to $1,099 for the first time since June. Finally!
SEE ALSO: Everything you need to know about October Prime Day, according to someone who covers it every yearIf you'd prefer a Windows laptop, I'm seeing some decent deals on Microsoft Surface devices and select gaming laptops on Amazon at the moment. But be sure to shop around a bit before adding anything to your cart: There are also great PC deals to be had at Best Buy and Walmart, which are both running their own sitewide sales this week. So far, my personal favorite Windows laptop deal anywhere is Best Buy's 25% discount on the Dell XPS 13, my top MacBook Neo alternative.
Below, I'm keeping a running guide to the best October Prime Day laptop deals I've found across the web. I'll continue to update it as Prime Big Deal Days progresses through Oct. 7, so check back often if you don't see any models with your must-have specs yet.

Dell's new XPS 13 is a premium-built budget laptop that one-ups Apple's MacBook Neo with a much lighter design, a sharper, smoother touchscreen display, and a backlit keyboard. It also has a much better battery life than the Neo, lasting roughly 19 hours in our video rundown test. The Neo died just before the 15-hour mark.
Best Buy has two 512GB configurations of the XPS 13 on sale for $200 off during its Techtober savings event (starting from just $599.99), a discount that more than erases their price increases from last month. For comparison's sake, a comparable MacBook Neo with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage is stuck at its regular sale price of $789.99 on Amazon — a meager $9 off.

No guide to the best Prime Day laptop deals would be complete without the latest MacBook discounts. The M5 MacBook Air is a fabulous all-rounder with incredibly fast performance, a premium haptic touchpad, a vibrant display, and a polished design. We like the 15-inch model best for most macOS users because it has nicer speakers, a better GPU, and a roomier display, but the 13-inch size is better if you prioritize portability. I recommend it for college students in particular.
The M5 MacBook Air is $200 off at Amazon and Best Buy right now, a discount that brings it back to its pre-price hike rates. (Apple's entire MacBook lineup got price increases in June due to increased component costs.) Choose from either size and any color or configuration starting at just $1,099.

Now cheaper than ever, this 16-inch Acer gaming laptop nets you mid-tier RTX 5070 graphics at an RTX 5060 price point. (Note that it's sold out on Acer's website.)

The Mashable team and I have tested dozens of laptops this year, and my job involves constantly monitoring their prices for any notable changes.
My top October Prime Day deals on laptops include Amazon's lowest prices on select models in at least three months, according to historical data on the price-tracking site camelcamelcamel. The deals I've highlighted elsewhere feature models that are sitting at their lowest prices of the year so far, to the best of my knowledge.
I've cross-checked all of my picks across various retailers to make sure they're the best deals anywhere. In one case, this alerted me to a deal that's even better than advertised. Walmart says its $1,100 Alienware Aurora 16 with an Intel Core Ultra 7 240H processor, RTX 5050 graphics, 16GB RAM, and 512GB storage is $150 off, but it's really $801 off: Dell usually sells the same configuration for $1,900.
I've also come across one instance where Amazon managed to beat Best Buy's price on a 13.8-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 8 by a cool $120.
The best Prime Day Apple Watch deals: We found the new Apple Watch Series 12 on sale
Do you feel that chill in the air? Fall is here, which means the holiday shopping season is too. Amazon’s October Prime Day sale kicked off today, Oct. 6, and we’ve found Apple Watch deals worth a look. The new Apple Watch Series 12 is down to $349.99 (normally $399), while the budget-friendly Apple Watch SE 3 is back at $199 (normally $249). And over at Target, the previous-generation Series 11 is $259.99.
Prime Big Deal Days runs through Oct. 7, and we’re tracking the best Apple Watch deals throughout the sale. Whether you’ve been waiting for a discount on the newest model or just want to keep your purchase under $200, here’s what’s worth shopping on day one.
Best Apple Watch Series 12 deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple Watch Series 12 (GPS, 42mm) $349.99 at Amazon$399 Save $49.01 Get Deal Why we like it
If you’ve been holding out for a discount on Apple’s newest watch, Amazon just knocked $49.01 off the 42mm Apple Watch Series 12. That brings it down to $349.99 from $399 — not a huge markdown, but a welcome discount on a watch that just launched.
SEE ALSO: Apple Watch Series 12 vs. 11: Every upgrade, including one Apple didn't mentionThe Series 12 has an S11 chip, redesigned health sensors with continuous heart-rate tracking, and a new readiness score. Our hands-on coverage takes a closer look at what’s new. If those upgrades are what you’ve been waiting for, you can pick up the newest model without paying full price.
Otherwise, take a look at the Series 11 deal at Target before checking out. At $259.99, it’s $90 less. And if $200 is your ceiling, the Apple Watch SE 3 is $199 at Amazon.
Best Apple Watch Series 11 deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS, 42mm) $259.99 at Target$399.99 Save $140 Get Deal Why we like it
Amazon isn’t the only place to find an Apple Watch deal today. Target has the Apple Watch Series 11 for $259.99 with Target Circle (which is free to join). Unless you’re set on Apple’s newest watch, this one deserves a look.
The biggest reason we like it? Battery life. In Mashable’s Apple Watch Series 11 review, Senior Editor Stan Schroeder found that it easily lasted a day and a half on a charge. In one test, he wore it overnight and still had 38 percent battery remaining after 24 hours. That’s useful breathing room if you want to track your sleep without squeezing in a charge before bed.
SEE ALSO: Apple Watch Ultra 4 Review: The smartwatch for the health-consciousSchroeder also praised its comfortable fit and bright, vibrant display. The Series 11 wasn’t a dramatic reinvention of the Series 10, but the longer battery life made a real difference in his testing. At $259.99, that’s a much easier upgrade to consider than at full price.

While the last-gen Series 11 isn't seeing discounts on Amazon right now, Apple's flagship Apple Watch Series 12 (GPS, 42mm) is down to $349.99 from $399.00. That $49.01 markdown brings Apple's latest hardware down to an accessible price point ahead of Prime Day. It delivers even faster processing, a display that's twice as scratch-resistant, deeper Apple Intelligence integration via Workout Buddy, and advanced health monitoring like Daily Readiness scores and more frequent heart rate variability (HRV) readings.

Read our full review of the CMF Watch 3 Pro.
If you'd like a capable fitness tracker, but you're not in the mood to spend much, I have good news: October Prime Day has the CMF Nothing Watch 3 Pro on sale for only $59. In testing this model last year, it quickly became one of my favorites, and left me shocked at how CMF priced this so low, given its features. It does have a larger face that measures about 1.5 inches, so keep that in mind if you prefer a more petite fitness tracker.

SEE ALSO: The best Prime Day deals under $50: Our favorite budget deals on earbuds, beauty tech, and moreOctober Prime Day, officially known as Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, kicks off today and runs for 48 hours across Oct. 6-7, but a lot of the best under-$25 steals we saw during June's Prime Day were already live before the sale's official start.

Best deal under $25 Opens in a new window Credit: Owala Owala FreeSip Twist $19.97 at Amazon$29.99 Save $10.02 Get Deal Why we like it
We love the Owala FreeSip at Mashable. Multiple staffers own the bottle that allows you to chug and sip out of one lid, all the while keeping your water cold all day long. The FreeSip Twist, in particular, is Owala's slimmer version of the classic FreeSip that catapulted it to internet fame. With a 24-ounce capacity, it still holds plenty of water, but can easily fit into car cup holders, backpack water bottle pockets, a seat back pocket, or simply slide into a tote bag with more ease.

At $18.99, this is the lowest price this set has ever been.

Everything you need to know about October Prime Day, according to someone who has always covered it
Amazon will host its annual Prime Big Deal Days sale on Oct. 6 and 7. If you're looking to save on fall essentials — or yearning for a break from this year's tech price hikes — the event will be a good opportunity to get some shopping done ahead of the busy holidays.
I've covered Prime Big Deal Days every year since its inception. Here's what you should know about the sale before it starts. (Plus, check out my team's dedicated guide to the best early deals you can score already.)

(Fun fact: It was originally called the Prime Early Access Sale.) It's often referred to as "October Prime Day" because its deals are exclusively for Amazon Prime members, just like the retailer's flagship Prime Day sale.
Prime Big Deal Days serves as Amazon's unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season.
When does Prime Big Deal Days start?Prime Big Deal Days 2026 will officially begin at 3:01 a.m. ET (12:01 a.m. PT) on Tuesday, Oct. 6. It will end at 2:59 a.m ET on Wednesday, Oct. 8 (11:59 p.m. PT on Oct. 7).
How is Prime Big Deal Days different from Prime Day?Prime Big Deal Days is a two-day event in the fall, while Prime Day is a four-day event in the summer. (It's usually in July, but Amazon moved it up to June this year because of the timing of the FIFA World Cup and the U.S. 250th anniversary, a company exec told Reuters.)

SEE ALSO: October Prime Day Apple deals guide: Buy now or wait?My fellow Mashable reporters and I are also tracking early October Prime Day deals on popular tech gadgets, including Apple devices, headphones, speakers, TVs, laptops, robot vacuums, smartwatches, power stations, and SSDs. Many of those products are on sale already, but keep in mind that their prices will likely drop further once Prime Big Deal Days starts.
What deals will be available during Prime Big Deal Days 2026?Prime Big Deal Days will feature "millions of deals across fashion, electronics, beauty, toys, and more," according to a company blog post. Some of them will be special, limited-time offers called "Today's Big Deals" that involve discounts of "up to 50% or more" on "trending products and new releases," the retailer said (think $2,000 off a big-screen Sony TV, it added). Today's Big Deals will drop daily at 3 a.m., 11 a.m., and 4 p.m. ET during the sale, so keep a lookout. They're only available while supplies last.

Black Friday generally features better deals than October Prime Day. There are several reasons for this:
Basically every retailer runs a Black Friday sale, so there's a wider selection of deals available; the festivities aren't limited to Amazon and its immediate competitors (more on them momentarily).
Black Friday deals are open to everyone, not just Prime members.
Retailers really want to clear their shelves of old inventory ahead of the new year, so they're inclined to offer record-low prices during Black Friday.
That said, there is a lot of overlap between October Prime Day and Black Friday deals, especially when it comes to Amazon devices. (Most of the Echo, Kindle, and Fire TV deals we'll see during Prime Big Deal Days will probably pop back up in November.) You should definitely still check out Prime Big Deal Days if:
You're a Prime member who wants to maximize the benefits of your subscription.
You want to avoid the chaos of Black Friday and get your holiday shopping over with.
You're worried about an item on your wishlist selling out before the holidays.
You need an item sooner than late November or early December for gifting purposes.
Target and Walmart are both planning to run their own sales alongside Prime Big Deal Days. (Target's Circle Deal Days is also set for Oct. 6 and 7, while Walmart's Fall Deals event runs for a whole week from Oct. 5 to 11.) Best Buy previously said that its "[holiday] Savings start in October," but it hasn't confirmed anything yet.
How many times a year is Prime Day? Credit: AmazonPrime Day technically only happens once a year in mid-summer, but Amazon puts on two other Prime-exclusive events throughout the year that function similarly. One is Prime Big Deal Days in early October; the other is the Big Spring Sale in late March.
Do you need to be a Prime member to shop Prime Big Deal Days?Amazon's October Prime Day deals are reserved for members of its Prime program, but you don't need to pay for a subscription to participate. Shoppers who haven't had an active Prime membership within the past 12 months can score a free 30-day trial. Just remember to cancel your membership before your trial period ends, or else you'll get charged. (Prime normally costs $14.99 per month or $139 annually.)
If you're between the ages of 18 and 24 or a college student, you're eligible for a free six-month trial via Amazon's Prime for Young Adults program. At the end of your trial period, you can upgrade to a paid membership for 50% off the usual rate.

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale event has officially begun. For 48 hours, Prime members can browse a variety of discounts ahead of the holiday sale season, including on a selection of Lego sets.
We've already spotted a ton of builds worth a look. The Project Hail Mary set has received its first major discount as part of the sale. There's also the Lego build of Hokusai’s The Great Wave, which has dropped to its lowest-ever price for members.
Those just scratch the surface of what's available, though. Check out even more of our favorite October Prime Day Lego Deals below.
Best Lego Icons Prime Day deal Opens in a new window Credit: Lego Lego Icons Project Hail Mary $69.99 at Amazon$99.99 Save $30 Get Deal
This price cut on the Lego Icons Project Hail Mary set is an awesome surprise for the Prime Big Deal Days sale. It marks the first discount it has ever received at the retailer, dropping down to $69.99 from its original price of $99.99 exclusively for Prime members. If you adored the movie (or are even just a huge fan of the book), it's a build that's absolutely worth grabbing. I speak from personal experience.
I pieced together this set, which is recommended for adults, and it's one of my favorites up on my shelf. With 830 pieces, you'll construct a microscale replica of the Hail Mary ship, which is docked on a display stand, but that's not even the best part about it. There's a crank on the stand that allows you to simulate the ship's centrifugal gravity system when you turn it, which is my favorite element. Of course, it also comes with a minifigure of Ryland and a little Rocky figure that you can set up next to it, which is the perfect finishing touch.
Best Lego Art Prime Day deal Opens in a new window Credit: Lego Lego Art Hokusai The Great Wave Framed Japanese Wall Art $69.99 at Amazon$99.99 Save $30 Get Deal
Lego's brick-built art piece of Hokusai’s The Great Wave has dropped to a brand new low price at Amazon as part of the sale, just for Prime members. Normally priced at $99.99, it's plummeted to $69.99, so you can enjoy $30 off this set if it's been on your radar.
Recommended for adults, it comes with a grand total of 1,810 pieces to assemble the artwork, along with six canvas bases, two hanger elements, and a decorative tile featuring Hokusai's signature. Once completed, you can hang it up as a lovely new piece of wall art in your home.
Best Lego Star Wars Prime Day deal Opens in a new window Credit: Lego Lego Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Battle Droid with STAP $83.99 at Amazon$139.99 Save $56.00 Get Deal
Lego's The Phantom Menace Battle Droid with STAP is another set that's down to its lowest-ever price right now as part of Prime Big Deal Days. If you're a member, you can snag it for $83.99 instead of its full price of $139.99, saving you $56 in total. Not bad at all.
Unlike the two models above, this Star Wars set is recommended for builders ages 12 and up. It comes with 1,088 pieces to build a Battle Droid on an STAP speeder from The Phantom Menace. The Droid also features multiple articulation points and can be fitted with a brick-built blaster. Plus, it comes with a display stand you can set it on, along with an information plaque.
