Where Can I Get a Good Deal on Lego?

Ask a Question

My friends son loves lego and its his birthday and Christmas coming up so looking to get him some Lego. I don't want to be spending a fortune on it, plus I need to post it to her, so don't want anything massive either. Does anyone know where is best to look for deals? Happy to do in-store and online, just need to know where to look.

It's so expensive isn't it? I was astonished at even the so called deals.

MelissaLee1 I know! I want to get it for him as he loves Lego but all the ones I'm seeing still seem quite expensive. I've looked for 2nd hand ones but need the boxes and most don't have them.

Try Zavvi or Smyth's as they sometimes have sales on Lego & you could get it delivered directly to her asking her to wrap it for you.

What sort of age is it for and any particular type of lego? You could take a look on Amazon and have it delivered directly to them or try Argos as their quite good too.

HEDGEHOGS he will be 5. No particular sort of lego, he doesn't like Minecraft but apart from that any sort of Lego. Will look on Argos, I've got some Nectar points so might be able to spend a bit more.

MrsCraig That would be a good idea to use some Nectar points, i've just had a look on Argos and there's quite a bit of Lego currently in the sale.

www.argos.co.uk/browse/toys/lego/c:30379/age-range:child-%285%252D8-years%29/opt/sort:price/

I don't think the link will work but plenty tp ttake a look at in Argos.

I’ve seen a few deals recently from argos & amazon but as you say it is not the cheapest thing to buy. Just keep an eye out here cause people have been posting some lego deals

jms19 I had a look at the ones on here and I've seen one that was good. I knew it wasn't cheap but didn't expect it to be as expensive as it is. Think Argos is a good choice as I can use some Nectar points.

martinlufc5637 I will have a look on there too. I don't want to buy him anything too big and I need to get 2 so another reason I don't want big ones.

Unfortunately, Lego is an absolute rip-off, so even things on sale are going to be expensive.

One of the biggest scams of all time.

TheChimp maybe, but it is what he is into just now so I want to get him something he will love and that unfortunately is Lego.

TheChimp why do you say it’s a scam, i agree it is very overpriced but so are a lot of kids toys and at least lego is educational.

jms19 Lego are selling very cheap to make plastic bricks at extortionate prices which are not affordable to many parents

I suppose if people are willing to pay ridiculous amounts for them, Lego will try their luck and increase prices until everyone sees sense and stops buying them.

jms19 Legos these days are more targeted towards adult collectors than kids.

TheChimp They can be fun to build although the prices Lego sets go for are pretty bizarre.

www.argos.co.uk/product/9549562

Almost £300? Yikes. And the car looks like it's been part of an accident.

The other deals website has a lot of users who spend plenty of money on Lego sets.

And one for £350 @ www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/brand/marvel/lego-marvel-super-heroes/lego-marvel-76210-iron-mans-hulkbuster-armour-set/p/215770

PhilipMarc £350 for a set of Lego is just crazy talk. That would buy me a week's beer and cigarettes

Lynibis I don't shop in Sainsbury often, it's too far away, but I get nectar points from the survey site. I save them throughout the year and then get stuff from Argos for my sons birthday but using them for his friend's this year.

Ain't no way I'm spending £100 on Legos.
