Lego is always fun. Lego is always expensive. A Prime Day discount may not change that, but it can help take some of the sting out of shopping for a brick fix.

There’s good news for the nerds out there. While we found a lot of the more grown-up sets, of monuments and flowers, didn’t really represent proper deals, plenty of the geek culture ones do. Similarly, Prime Day’s Lego selection is very short on another classic builder’s subgenre, the car. Our F1 dreams are over.

That said, if you like your Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, there’s a hot Lego deal or two for you out there.

Lego Icons The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr
Lego Icons The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr: was £399.99 now £339.98 at Amazon

This eye of Sauron receptacle opens up to reveal all sorts of secrets, including a library and Sauron's throne room. It's made of 5471 pieces and includes 10 minifigs. A proper epic set.

Lego  Star Wars R2-D2
Lego Star Wars R2-D2: was £66.99 now £61.99 at Amazon

There's only a modest real-world discount on this classic R2-D2 replica. But it's a design that probably doesn't require a sale to sell. 1050 pieces make up this kit, the head rotates around 360 degrees and there's a third leg you can attach too.

Lego Icons The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell

The cost of this massive 6167-piece The Lord of the Rings set has been all over the place over the last month. But it more typically sells at its (lofty) asking price. It drops to around this price during the major sales events, though, so if you are shopping for Christmas super-early, you may be able to get a similar deal during Black Friday.

Lego The Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree

One of Lego's more recent mega-kits, this recreation of the Great Deku tree was announced in 2024. The neat part here is you can make it up as the tree from Ocarina of Time or the version seen in Breath of the Wild. This is the cheapest we've seen the kit, by a healthy chunk of change.

Lego Star Wars 75394 Imperial Star Destroyer
Lego Star Wars 75394 Imperial Star Destroyer: was £149.99 now £127.45 at Amazon

OK, so this isn't the largest Star Destroyer model LEGO has ever released. But it does measure 46cm long and consists of a healthy 1555 pieces. It's also not a set so complicated Lego only recommends it for 18+ builders. Lego has slapped a 10+ age recommendation on it.
