One of the most frequent comments in our LEGO articles is that LEGO sets cost too much money. And it’s true that they don’t tend to come cheap. It costs a lot to design these sets, and in many cases license them and produce all the interlocking pieces with enough precision that they fit together just so. Still, money is money. So you’ll be pleased to know LEGO sets often go on sale at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. Below, we’re tracking all the best deals on a wide variety of LEGO sets, from Nintendo LEGO sets to Star Wars LEGO sets and well beyond. So take a look and pick up any you want.

LEGO: Budget to Best
Buying a LEGO set doesn't need to break the bank, either. There are plenty of sets in more affordable price ranges that are still worth every penny! Here, we'll point you in the direction of some of our more budgeted favorites.
LEGO Store Rewards
If you’re a frequent buyer of LEGO sets, you should absolutely join the LEGO VIP program. It’s free to sign up, and it gets you various rewards and early access to popular sets on the official LEGO Store. Every purchase you make gets you VIP points that you can spend on all sorts of things on the site, like discounts on specific sets and raffle entries to win pricy sets.
The LEGO Store also frequently gives away small exclusive sets when you spend a certain amount of money on the site. These sets are often timed around the release of major sets and the free set you get will usually be part of the major set’s theme. For instance, when you buy an expensive Star Wars set, you might get a small build of the Death Star for free. But you can only take advantage of these freebies if you’re a VIP member, so you might as well sign up now.
How to Tell if a LEGO Discount Is an Actual Deal?
LEGO sets are unlike many other items for a number of reasons. One reason it that LEGO sets get retired regularly. There’s no such thing as an evergreen LEGO set that will always be available. The LEGO company stops producing older sets all the time to make shelf space (and production space) for the new sets it’s also always releasing. That means you can often find LEGO sets on sale, especially when they’re nearing the end of their life cycles.
The best way to know if a discounted LEGO set is a particularly good deal is to find the set on Amazon and paste the Amazon URL into the search field on Camelcamelcamel. That site tracks Amazon price history, so you can see if it’s ever dropped to a lower price, and how often it tends to go on sale. It’s a super useful tool for anything you’re looking to buy, as long as it’s available on Amazon.
