Listen, I appreciate that Lego Minas Tirith, Rivendell, and the rest are incredible. But for so many of us, they're priced way outside of our budget. That's why this offer on a smaller, but no less cool, Lord of the Rings Lego set caught my eye.
I've been keeping a close eye on discounts in the run-up to this month's Prime Day Lego deals, and this price cut on Lego Sauron's Helmet stands out from the crowd. Thanks to a £15 saving at Amazon, it's now down to a record low price - and I doubt we'll see a better bargain for the Lego Lord of the Rings set during the sale, either.
While it's not as jaw-dropping as Lego Rivendell or the impressive Lego Minas Tirith, this is still a downright iconic kit for fans. Sauron's design was more than memorable when it first showed up in Fellowship of the Ring thanks to that otherwordly, alien feel, so makes for a cool piece of memorabilia to go on your living room shelf. It also provides a little minifigure for the Lord of the Rings himself, which is a bonus.
Crucially, it's not gonna take you a week to build. I've been lucky enough to construct some of the best Lego sets for review, but it's quite a time commitment that can test your patience. By contrast, this 538-piece model shouldn't take much more than an evening to make and isn't nearly so complex. That makes it a satisfying experience no matter how many Lego kits you've put together, if any. It won't take up loads of room on display either, so you don't feel like it's dominating the space it's in.
Of course, that's just the start of the reductions this month. Even though Prime Day is still a few weeks away (it officially starts on June 23), more than a few discounts are starting to fly now. Considering how Father's Day is coming up, that may just come in handy...
