LEGO Shop@Home Black Friday Discount Page Now Up

Happy Black Friday shopping to the avid readers of The Brick Show. By now, all promo and discounts we have detailed in past articles to happen of Black Friday are in effect. Whether they might be on retailers, LEGO Stores or Shop@Home, it’s your choice now for the best LEGO bargains you can go for. The LEGO Shop@Home Black Friday discount page is now up, and the featured set on top is the LEGO Iconic Chess Set of 2017 (40174), easily one of the most impressive brick-builds for actual gameplay, be it chess with the LEGO-designed pieces or with checkers.

The Iconic Chess Set (40174) sees its $54.99 price cut down to $38.49, no better deal perhaps for one of the best-rated sets on Shop@Home. For LEGO Stores on the other hand, the elusive LEGO Ninjago Bricktober Minifigure set (5005257) is ready for the buying. Don’t let this day pass.

Like the Shop@Home banners say, discounts for Black Friday on selected items can go up to 30%; one exception however is the retiring LEGO Creator Expert Detective’s Office set (10246). The advertisement we covered yesterday saying 20% off for it got changed somehow. Discount is only 10%; but better than nothing.

For easier reference, here’s the listing of all Shop@Home LEGO sets with Black Friday discounts. Feel free to browse and shop to your hearts’ content. Remember, it’s only one day.

Retiring LEGO Creator Detective Office Set (10246) Being Kept in Reserve Until Black Friday Sale

If you’ve been keeping up with LEGO news here with us on The Brick Show, you may recall an update detailing the first wave of announcements on LEGO sets soon to retire. One of them is the LEGO Creator Expert Detective’s Office (10246), which is also currently listed as being out of stock on Shop@Home.

But wait. According to this other report, the Detective’s Office (10246) is supposed to be one of the spotlight sets for LEGO’s Black Friday Exclusives and Sales; specifically, it’s to be discounted by 20% from November 23 to 26. How’s that going to happen when it’s out of stock not just online but reported at LEGO branded stores as well?

The answer’s rather simple: LEGO’s holding units of 10246 from being sold. All sets announced as “retiring” have in fact already stopped being manufactured; so LEGO believes they may not have enough “Detective’s Office” sets left to keep from selling out with Black Friday’s discount.

Considering 20% off means the LEGO Creator Expert Detective’s Office (10246) is going to be worth $127.99, that’s a major markdown for a set that’s going to be running low. If collectors miss it now, they might miss it forever.

Alternatively, one might find that Amazon has its own stock of Detective’s Office (10246) that can be gotten via Prime shipping. It doesn’t seem to have a discount here, but it’s probably better than nothing.

Shop@Home Now Discounts All 2018 LEGO Advent Calendar Sets

November is coming to a close and the first Sunday of Advent is drawing near. But well before all that, LEGO’s already gotten their 2018 Edition Advent Calendars sets out to their ever thankful and excited fandom. With themes ranging from cities to girl-friends to Star Wars, there’s an Advent Calendar just right for everyone.

In fact, several online retailers that offer LEGO on their platform has already given nice discounts to some of these Advent Calendar sets. This time LEGO Shop@Home takes its turn to making these products even more within reach, or at least for the UK market.

LEGO shoppers in Great Britain can now avail of the LEGO City (60201), LEGO Friends (41353) and LEGO Star Wars (75213) Advent Calendars at reduced prices online. To list them:

LEGO City Advent Calendar (60201) – £22.99 £18.39
LEGO Friends Advent Calendar (41353) – £22.99 £18.99
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar (75213) – £24.99 £19.99

There hasn’t been any word on if this 2018 LEGO Advent Calendar discount at Shop@Home would also find its way stateside. Well, at least UK patrons who haven’t scored any of these seasonal sets yet will already be getting better deals for them.

LEGO Duplo My First Minnie Build (10897) Revealed

LEGO has done its fair share of experimentation and development in the creation of several lines of humanoid figures constructed from LEGO bricks. There was the buildable figure line used in LEGO Star Wars for example, which has been discontinued. Then there’s the BrickHeadz line, rumored to also be on the verge of being axed. And now, LEGO is introducing the buildable figure concept to its Duplo line, in the form of what might be called “My First Build”. That could be inferred from the name of the first Duplo figure set revealed via Amazon Italy: the LEGO Duplo My First Minnie Build (10897) which features a Minnie Mouse brick-built figure.

From the boxed product preview, thanks to transparent packaging, we can see that the LEGO Duplo My First Minnie Build (10897) is a simple, straightforward build that features a head, ribbon, torso, hips and leg pieces to complete a basic Minnie Mouse figure. And apparently it also contains alternative colored pieces to change up how the Duplo Minnie would look.

From what information we could gather, the LEGO Duplo My First Minnie Build set (10897) will be released either at year’s end or early 2019, meaning it’ll be coming late to the current 90^th anniversary celebration of Mickey Mouse in Disney. Still, it would make for an interesting set to collect.

New Amazon Sale on One LEGO Set, and More Discounts for the UK on Smyths’ Black Friday

It goes from one LEGO discount sale to another over at Amazon lately. Not long after the most popular new alien creature from Star Wars got reduced prices on both there as well as Walmart, Amazon is now slashing the tag on one particularly old LEGO Creator set, a car.

No, it’s not the recent Aston Martin DB5 – like we said, it’s an old set. Rather, the Creator Mini Cooper (10242) is being discounted by 19% on the world’s largest online retailing platform. It’s amazing, considering its age, that the Mini Cooper (10242) hasn’t been retired yet. Still, this is the cheapest offering for the LEGO Creator set on Amazon so far, perfect for collectors who might want the classic car favored by Mr. Bean and Britain of the Sixties.

Speaking of Britain, the Smyths retail chain has initiated a massive discounting of some of their prominent LEGO sets on stock. This seems to be their advanced listing of sales as the world approaches Black Friday week. Here’s a list of stuff; it’s quite long:

LEGO City

Passenger Train, £120 £90

Cargo Train, £180 £160

LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) Set On Discount in Both Amazon and Walmart

Perhaps it bears some repeating that Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which premiered in the 2017 Holidays, ended up being one of the most significantly divisive installments of the space opera saga. That extends to the movie’s specific elements, say for instance the Porg. Some critics would say it’s the stupidest alien life-form ever designed for Star Wars, with others believe it’s just hilariously cute.

LEGO certainly thought so, if the great detailing on their Star Wars Porg set (75230) is any indication. Who could say no to those big beady eyes and widely opening mouth? If you think the price is a bit too much however, check Amazon now.

Normally priced at $84.95, Amazon has listed a 20% discount for LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) to put it at $55.99 per set. We’d say that open-mouthed Porg in our featured image is a perfect reaction for this great news.

But wait, there’s more. Walmart isn’t going to lose out on Amazon where the LEGO Porg (75230) is concerned. They too have knocked down their price to the same $55.99 that the online retail giant’s offering. That’s even better news as it offers two options to get this set at lower than the usual rate. Sometimes some sweet deals come before the actual holiday period.

LEGO Store in Disney Springs Joins Celebration of Mickey Mouse’s 90th Anniversary

The year 1928 was the year Walter Elias Disney introduced what would become his most iconic creation in popular entertainment to the world: the big cheese himself, Mickey Mouse. This came in the form of the animated short Steamboat Willie, which premiered in November 18 of that year. What do you know, November 18 is this Sunday, and 2018 marks the celebration of Mickey Mouse’s 90th anniversary.

Obviously, the Disney Company is celebrating 90 years of Mickey Mouse. And perhaps the most prominent event in paying tribute to the name bearer of the House of Mouse can be found in Walt Disney World in Orlando. At their Disney Springs commercial complex, special Mickey merchandise and food items are being offered ahead of Sunday.

Even the Disney Springs LEGO Store is getting in on the Mickey Mouse vibe. They’re spearheading a massive brick-building effort to create a tribute mural that will showcase the various milestones of the king of Disney characters, as established in the Kingdom Hearts video game series.

Ahead of Mickey Mouse’s 90th anniversary, LEGO has also released some highly collectible sets in the form of BrickHeadz for not just Mickey (41624) but also Minnie Mouse (41625). The rumors that the BrickHeadz line may eventually be discontinued would only add to the potential value of these two LEGO sets.

Interestingly, a Steamboat Willie set is up for contention in the Second 2018 Review Stage for LEGO Ideas. The results won’t be revealed until early next year, but that too would’ve been a nice addition to the LEGO contributions for celebrating 90 years of Mickey.

Early LEGO Black Friday Offers Coming This Weekend

News and details of LEGO Black Friday offers are slowly coming in ahead of the year’s super sale event next week. LEGO has sent out word via email that LEGO VIPs are in for a treat this Friday with its early Black Friday shopping event at all LEGO Stores and at LEGO Shop @Home. During the weekend from November 17 to 18, LEGO VIP members will earn double points on any LEGO purchase made during the upcoming weekends.

LEGO is also throwing in the seasonal gift-with purchase set, LEGO Christmas Box (40292) for free, for every single receipt purchase of any LEGO products worth $99 and more. This is a great head start if you wish to add to those sweet double VIP points while being one of the first of those to bring home the Christmas Box (40292) freebie.

Of course, it’s a matter of weighing in your choices between the nice incentives that LEGO will be offering this weekend, and between the insanely great discounts that LEGO has in store come Black Friday. Either way around, you’ll still have the better end of the best deals that LEGO has to offer. Be sure to visit shop.LEGO.com for more details.

LEGO-Related Black Friday Deals with Three Major Retailers

Thanksgiving 2018 will be arriving next week, and the Friday immediately afterwards will thus be Black Friday. There are various (often conflicting) explanations on the origin of the name, and its claims of being the “busiest shopping day of the year” are contested, but the fact remains that many shopping deals come out this time.

We can count LEGO among those who have opened up some irresistible Black Friday deals for their own formidable global chain of branded stores. But if you’re looking for LEGO at other retailers that carry them, some of these have their own Black Friday offerings.

Here’s what we might expect from three major retail chains.

Best Buy (why an electronics retailer? There are LEGO videogames, of course!)

LEGO The Incredibles –$59.99 $29.99 (PS4, Switch and Xbox One regular editions only)
LEGO DC Super Villains – $49.99 $19.99 (PS4, Switch and Xbox One regular editions only)

Target (big mechanical sets)

LEGO The Ninjago Movie Garma Mecha Man (70613) – $59.99 $41.99
LEGO The Ninjago Movie Lightning Jet (70614) – $59.99 $41.99
LEGO Star Wars Y-Wing Starfighter (75172) – $59.99 $41.99

Walmart (for early-age LEGO fans)

LEGO Classic Creative Box (10704) – $39.99 $20
LEGO Duplo Creative Box (10854) – $39.99 $20

Now, this is likely just the beginning. There are 11 days left before Black Friday arrives, and more retailers with LEGO products in their shelves might yet hammer out some pretty amazing deals of their own.
