Lego just set its own Black Friday sale live, going old-school by delaying until the day itself. It only runs for three days, too, so you don't have long to browse. Sadly, after perusing its offering, I'm not really impressed, since very few big sets are on sale at all.
So, rather than digging through its scraps, I'd heartily recommend going with this deal at Amazon instead, which gets you the single best set I've ever built: a huge, detailed and loving recreation of Rivendell, the house of Elrond. It's a stunning kit, with over 6,000 pieces, and normally costs a whopping £429.99.
Each Black Friday, though, it seems to get the same deal – one that knocks a handy £64 off its price to make it a bit more palatable. That very deal is live right now for you to take advantage of.
I built the set over one holiday season, and it took my partner and me around 20 hours or more, as we ended up working out. That's a huge amount of time to be able to just zone out and build (with the Howard Shore soundtracks on in the background, of course), and I can't speak highly enough of how therapeutic it can be.
The set was proudly displayed on top of a shelf for a very long time after that, although when we moved flat we had to carefully disassemble it. That means I've got another build to look forward to at some point, and I honestly can't wait. Frankly, this deal has prompted me to remember that I need to get it down from the attic of our new flat, so that we can have another fun, chilled-out December.
If you're a fan of Tolkien's books or the superb movies, I can't recommend this highly enough – it's by far the best set I've ever built, and is riddled with loving details. Black Friday is clearly the best time to buy it, too, since a deal seems to roll around every year. The same goes for the Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon, too, if you're interested in checking that one out.
