The Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter Lego set is on sale for $134 (was $165). This deal is also available at Target, but the set remains sold out at Walmart.

Lego Icons: Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter (1,369 Pieces) $134 (was $165)The Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter is a faithful, 1,369-piece replica of the cool helicopter-inspired aircraft. Due to its large wings, the completed build can measure up to 9 inches tall, 22 inches long, and 31 inches wide. It's closer to 6 inches tall when the wings posable wings are retracted. It also has a movable landing gear and retractable boarding ramp.
Along with the large Ornithopter replica, the Lego Dune set includes eight minifigures:
- Paul Atreides
- Lady Jessica
- Gurney Halleck
- Chani
- Leto Atreides

- Duncan Idaho
- Baron Harkonnen (complete with his long robe)
The Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter is designed as a display piece for adults, so consider finding a cozy corner in your game room or home theater to show it off. Of course, younger builds can always use it as a playset (thanks to its interactive features and multiple minifigures), but the gigantic vehicle is probably better off as a piece of home décor.

Attack on Titan: Final Season Complete Steelbook (Blu-ray)
Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Crunchyroll
Attack on Titan's Final Season is getting a Complete Edition Blu-ray with a collectible steelbook case. Slated to release November 11, roughly one year after Part 3 initially launched on Blu-ray, Attack on Titan: Final Season Complete Steelbook is up for preorder for $70 at Amazon.
At first glance, $70 for one season of anime may sound pricey, but Parts 1-3 initially launched individually for $65-$70 each without steelbook cases. Even today, buying the standard editions of all three parts would set you back roughly $130. Plus, because Attack on Titan's fourth and final season was split into three parts that aired over nearly three years, the Complete Steelbook Edition is by far the longest single Blu-ray release for the franchise. You're effectively getting multiple seasons of content in one seven-disc package.
