With four distinct lighting philosophies on the market, priced between $19.99 and $30.99, there's a glow upgrade for every type of collector, from minimalist nameplate to full-droid irradiation.
BrickBling slots in as the budget-mid option starting at $22.98, squarely aimed at intense illumination of C-3PO’s torso and head details.
