GAME & TOY AWARDS

Lego Star Wars

Imperial Star

Destroyer Set $700

This isn’t just any Star

Destroyer. Lego modeled

this after the very first ship,

named the Devastator, that

graced screens back in 1977

during the opening minutes of

A New Hope. Complete with

an included Rebel Tantiv IV

ship, this Star Destroyer has

a staggering 4,784 pieces,

eclipsed only by Lego’s 2007

and 2017 Millennium Fal-

cons (about 5,000 and 7,500

pieces, respectively).

DJI Mavic Air 2 Drone $799

The Air 2 offers clear improve-

ments over its predecessor in the

two areas that matter most: its

camera and flying capabilities.

You can now shoot 4K video at 60

fps, along with still photos up to

48-megapixels, while the drone’s

flight time has been increased to a

lengthy 34 minutes (up from 21).

Those upgrades do make this ver-

sion heavier and larger than the last

one, but it still folds small enough

to tuck in a bag or backpack.
