Black Friday Lego deals 2024: Prepare to build up a bargain in this year's sales

The Black Friday sales weekend will be with us at the end of next month and along with a whole bunch of cut-price discounts on headphones, turntables, wireless speakers and CD & vinyl box sets, will be a colourful wall of Black Friday Lego deals - making it the ideal time to grab a treat for yourself or an early Christmas gift.

Lego sets seem to be getting more a more popular, with the days of a basket full of basic building blocks long gone - now replaced with tie-ins with major brands including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel, Nintendo and more now the norm. As a result, snapping together a model is no longer aimed squarely at the children's market, with massive, intricate kits aimed at an older market available everywhere.

Myself and the Louder team have been posting Lego guides and deals for a number of years now - and we'll be bringing you all the best Black Friday bargains we find and posting them right here.

FAQ

Shopping tips

Here's a handful of shopping tips that should hopefully help set you up for a great Black Friday Lego deal.

1. Keep a list handy: Keep a list of all the Lego sets you're interested in on your phone or tablet. This way, you won't forget any that slip your mind once the sales start. I also have several Amazon wish lists, each one covering a certain product, ie: headphones, t-shirts, books etc. This lets me see at a glance if anything's on sale. Saves me a lot of time too.

2. Budget: If you can afford to put a little money aside ahead of Black Friday, then I recommend it. It doesn't matter if it's only a few dollars or pounds - every little helps when it comes to the big sales. I always tuck some money away throughout the year so, come Black Friday, I can stretch my budget a little bit further. That really helped me last year when I bought a new pair of Sony headphones.

3. Shop around: Before spending your hard-earned cash at a new Lego set, compare prices with other sites. Competition will be fierce with many online retailers cutting costs on Lego kits in all shapes and sizes to try and tempt you in. Just because you see a good-looking deal on one site, doesn't mean you won't get better on another. Of course, keep checking back here, where I'll have all the best Black Friday Lego deals in one handy place. 

I'll also be posting even more products over on our page dedicated to the best Black Friday music deals.

How we choose products

I've mentioned previously that this will be my sixth year covering Black Friday and in that time I've seen some great deals on Lego sets... and some not so great discounts.

Covering events such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Amazon Prime Day, Amazon Big Deal Days, the Memorial Day and Presidents' Day sales over the years has allowed me to see what Lego kits are popular, and which have genuinely good discounts on them - and I'll only highlight the price cuts this Black Friday I think represent great value for money. 

I particularly like the big Lego Star Wars sets, so I'll pick out a selection of my favourites, explain how many pieces each kit contains and also give you alternative price checks to give you the widest possible choice.

Along with reporting on Cyber Weekend, I've also been involved with other sales events such as Amazon Prime Day, Presidents' Day and Memorial Day - highlighting top deals on everything from vinyl and headphones, to turntables and Bluetooth speakers.
