This year's Black Friday Lego deals seem to have kicked off early; I'm already starting to see reductions on must-have kits all over the place. While the best discounts are likely to be held back until the end of November, you can secure some tempting discounts now as is.
No matter whether you want to build up your collection or secure some presents ahead of the Holiday season, the annual Black Friday Lego deals are your best chance. These offers are almost always better than anything we see for the rest of the year. Yes, I know - the sale is better known for its tech reductions. But you can get some top-tier savings on toys as well. Besides allowing you to secure some of the best Lego sets for a fraction of their normal price, you can find plenty of gift-worthy kits for so much less than usual. With Christmas following shortly after the yearly Black Friday Lego deals wind down, that's not to be sniffed at.

Black Friday Lego deals FAQ
When will Black Friday Lego deals start?
There's one thing we can always count on, and it's when the annual Black Friday Lego deals take place. The year's biggest sale occurs after Thanksgiving and on the final Friday of November, which means Black Friday 2024 will happen on November 29.
Well, officially speaking. More realistically, the discounts now kick off as early as a couple of weeks beforehand. They'll then roll into early December, at which point they're relabelled as 'Cyber Monday' reductions. Essentially, you have longer than you might think to take advantage of the savings.
Just remember, the best offers will be saved for Black Friday itself and probably won't last long.
Where will the best Black Friday Lego deals be?
While usual suspects like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy are sure to go all in on Black Friday Lego deals this year (they always do), there are alternatives worth considering as well. For example, it's worth watching out for the official Lego site. I've seen plenty of generous discounts across its range before, and a very healthy 20% was knocked off many sets in Black Fridays past. Seeing as it features some exclusive items you won't find anywhere else, bearing it in mind this November is a must.
Supermarkets are also a great place to go deals-hunting, and some of their offers are better than anything else you'll see. UK shops in particular get their share of excellent Black Friday Lego deals; Aldi sliced a whopping 60% off the Millennium Falcon a little while back, for instance. Have a look online or in person during the 2024 sales in case we get more hot discounts.
Otherwise, keep an eye on the following:
US
- Amazon: Traditionally the best all-rounder for Lego deals
- Lego: Has offered discounts of up to 20% in the past
- Zavvi: Surprisingly good cuts on fan-favorites
- Best Buy: Usually provides a great variety of savings
- Walmart: Discounts on Technic, Harry Potter, Classic, and more
UK
- Amazon: A great Lego all-rounder during Black Friday
- Lego: Known to give discounts of up to 20%

- Argos: Excellent for savings on sets like Lego Mario
- John Lewis: There's less choice, but the Lego discounts are still good
Does Lego take part in Black Friday?
Although the discounts might not be as wide-ranging as they are at other retailers, the Lego Store does get involved with the Black Friday bonanza. Indeed, you can save 20% on average and anywhere up to 40% if you're quick. These price cuts include multiple ranges, with everything from the enormous Avengers Hulkbuster to the Atari set going on offer in the past.
What does Black Friday mean for Lego fans?
While Black Friday is better known for its tech discounts, you can get some cracking offers on Lego during the event. In fact, some of the year's best prices are found during this November sales extravaganza.
In a nutshell, that is what Black Friday means for Lego fans - the chance to save record amounts on sets that rarely get a reduction (alongside some that do). We've seen this happen over and over again in years gone by, so 2024 shouldn't be any different. As a case in point, the highly sought-after Rivendell kit dropped to its lowest ever price for a limited time last year, and proved to be the best opportunity to save on the kit we've seen before or since. Now that hotly anticipated newcomers such as Barad-dur, D&D, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Zelda have joined the range, I'm hoping we'll see a similar occurrence this November.
What to expect from Black Friday Lego deals 2024
Lego goes weapons free so far as deals are concerned in November, and that means you can save on everything from cheap kits to the most expensive sets. While the former often get discounted, it's the latter you should watch out for. Seeing as they so rarely go on offer, this is the best time to buy something like Lego Rivendell; premium builds tend to hold their price for most of the year, so it's your best chance of getting them for less.
In terms of specifics, I'd keep a close eye on the pricier kits that launched in the first half of 2024 or the final months of last year - we're talking the Lego Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter, Barad-dur, D&D, Avengers Tower, etc. These haven't enjoyed any major reduction yet, so I suspect Black Friday will be their chance. Seeing as they normally weigh in at several hundred dollars or pounds, that's one hell of an opportunity.
