It’s hard to pick a “best” here, but the cool Death Star Trench Run kit retails for $52 instead of $70. This is a diorama of Luke Skywalker’s famous journey towards blowing up the Death Star, so it includes a detailed part of the killer satellite, his X-wing, two TIE fighters and, of course, Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced. All told, it consists of 665 pieces.
A set based on Boba Fett’s throne room, released at the end of the credits sequence of the second season finale The Mandalorianavailable for $75 instead of $100. This one has side characters like Fennec Shand, Bib Fortuna and others.

The set comes with a battery-powered Mario with LCD screens on his eyes, mouth and stomach to show “over 100 quick reactions.” The iconic plumber also has a built-in speaker that plays sounds and music from games.
