Walmart's Lego deals are better than they have any right to be this side of Black Friday

Even though Black Friday and sales season proper is a month away, nobody seems to have told Walmart so far as Lego deals are concerned.

The retailer is currently slashing prices left and right on some of the best Lego sets drawn from ranges like Harry Potter and Star Wars. In fact, Walmart's Lego deals are doling out record low prices that I'm honestly surprised to see this side of November. As an example, you can currently pick up the most recent Hogwarts Castle kit for $135.95 at Walmart instead of almost $170. A few of the 2024 advent calendars have been slashed in price as well, not to mention lots of the Animal Crossing series.

Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle & Grounds | $169.99 $135.95 at Walmart
Save $34 - Of all the discounts floating around at Walmart, this is the one which caught my eye most. I've never seen the kit for less than it is now, and even though there's a possibility it'll drop even further for Black Friday, there's no guarantee of that. The average price is closer to $150 as well, so this is a welcome blip.

Buy it if:
✅ You want something truly iconic
✅ You don't want to pay/display the massive version

Don't buy it if:
❌ You already have the big one

Price check:
💲 Amazon | $135.95
💲 Lego | $169.99

⭐ UK price: £149.99 £119.99 at Amazon

Lego Super Mario Piranha Plant | $59.99 $47.95 at Walmart
Save $12 - I've not seen the Super Mario foe for less, and that makes this a cracking deal on the whole. Seeing as it's usually closer to $58, I'm impressed. That's the kind of reduction I'd been expecting for Black Friday.

Buy it if:
✅ You want a cool desk or shelf buddy
✅ You're looking for the perfect gift

Don't buy it if:
❌ You'd rather save your money for Mighty Bowser

Price check:
💲 Amazon | $47.95
💲 Lego | $59.99

⭐ UK price: £57.99 £42.99 at Amazon

Lego Animal Crossing Nook's Cranny & Rosie's House | $74.99 $59.95 at Walmart
Save $11 - I don't think this kit has ever been available for less, and it's usually hovering around $68 or thereabouts. With that in mind, this is one of the better Walmart deals so far.

Buy it if:
✅ You want a centerpiece to your collection
✅ You're buying for adults or kids

Don't buy it if:
❌ You were hoping for a full Nook's Cranny

Price check:
💲 Amazon | $59.95
💲 Lego | $74.99

⭐ UK price: £64.99 £43.99 at Very

Lego Animal Crossing Isabelle's House Visit | $39.99 $31.95 at Walmart
Save $11 - While it isn't a massive price cut on the face of things, that's still the kit's lowest ever price. I'd say it's one of the best in the Animal Crossing range, so that discount is mighty tempting.

Buy it if:
✅ You want something iconic but affordable
✅ You're buying for adults or kids

Don't buy it if:
❌ You were hoping for Villager minifigs

Price check:
💲 Amazon | $31.95
💲 Lego | $39.99

⭐ UK price: £34.99 £25.99 at Amazon

I've been writing about games in one form or another since 2012, but these days you'll find me managing GamesRadar+'s tabletop gaming and toy coverage (I spend my time here handling everything from board game reviews to the latest Lego news). I've also been obsessed with Warhammer since the 1990s, and love nothing more than running tabletop RPGs like D&D as a Dungeon Master.
