Black Friday Lego deals: Save up to 40 percent on Star Wars, Super Mario sets

We're big Lego fans here at Engadget, so it's not difficult for us to understand why the building block sets are some of the first items to sell out during the holiday shopping season. Kids and adults alike seek out Lego sets all year round, and they make particularly good gifts. Whether you know your recipient loves Star Wars or Super Mario, or they don't have a fan-favorite franchise and just love building stuff, there are Lego sets out there that all kinds of people will love. And no, they don't all cost hundreds of dollars - some, like seasonal advent calendars, come in at $50 or less. If you've got a Lego lover on your holiday shopping list (or if that person is you), these are the best Black Friday Lego deals for 2024.

The highlights for Black Friday include a couple of Lego advent calendars: one for Disney fans and another that's more general for all kids. Lego makes a bunch of other advent calendars in addition to these, and we expect to see more of them go on sale in the coming days. There's also the beautiful Insect Collection, which when completed, includes three life-size, posable models of a butterfly, Hercules beetle and Chinese mantis. Even as someone who detests bun appreciate the elegance of this set and how striking they'd look sitting on a shelf.

Star Wars, Super Mario and Harry Potter sets have been discounted as well. This Phantom Menace Mos ESPA Podrace Diorama set has brick models of Anakin Skywalker's podracer and his rival Sebulba's one as well, and this discount is a new low. This King Boo's Haunted Mansion set is on sale for the first time since launch, and in addition to the brick mansion that opens out for better play, it includes King Boo, Yellow Baby Yoshi, Dry Bones and Boo figurines.

We'll be updating this post through the entire Black Friday and Cyber Monday time period, so check back for the latest offers.
