Now that October Prime Day is here, we're finally seeing the full extent of the deals Amazon has in store. Luckily for any Lego maniacs, those discounts apply to many brick and minifigure-filled sets. Yes, it's early to think about holiday shopping, but these kits make amazing presents — for the young and full-grown adults alike. Because we are Engadget, we're focusing on Lego sets from the Super Mario, Star Wars and Harry Potter lineups. Some of which are on sale for up to 41 percent off. There are even steeper savings on general Lego sets as well. Here are the best Prime Day deals on Lego sets.
Prime Day deals on Star Wars Lego sets
On the Star Wars side of things, this Spider Tank set is 36 percent off and down to only $32, which is the lowest it's ever been. It includes 526 pieces that replicate the spider tank from season three of The Mandalorian, plus three minifigures: Din Djarin, Bo-Katan Kryze and Grogu. Once built, the spider tank has grabbing claws, flexible legs and a little cockpit in which one of the figures can sit. Also on sale is this Boarding The Tantive IV set in which you recreate the iconic scene from Star Wars: A New Hope. That will set you back $44, which represents a 20-percent discount.
Prime Day deals on Mario Lego sets
In the Mario space, this Dixie Kong’s Jungle Jam expansion set has the biggest discount: 41 percent off and down to $16. It has 174 pieces along with buildable Dixie Kong and Squawks figures that both come with musical accessories. Mario fans who are old enough to have a work-from-home setup might appreciate this displayable Piranha Plant set that would look great in the background of any video conference call. It's 20 percent off and down to $48.
Prime Day deals on Harry Potter Lego sets
Rounding things out with Harry Potter sets, this Hogwarts Castle and Grounds set is down to $136 and has never been cheaper. It includes 2,660 pieces that create a final product that's over eight inches high, 13 inches wide and 10 inches deep. Plus, it comes with a cute, golden Hogwarts architect statue minifigure.
Prime Day deals on classic Lego sets
If you're looking for more general Lego sets, two of the best deals we found are on the Classic Medium Creative Brick Box, down to $19, and the Lego City 2024 advent calendar, down to $26. The former includes 484 pieces in all different sizes and colors, and would make a great gift for anyone who just likes to build with Lego without following a set of instructions. As for the latter, you probably know someone who loves a good advent calendar this time of year, and this Lego one has 24 surprise gifts that include seasonal minifigures, mini builds and more.
