Lego sets are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and cater to a wide range of interests. From Star Wars and Lord of the Rings film-based models to sets designed for younger audiences, there's something for everyone.
One such set is inspired by the popular children's TV show Bluey, featuring a Playground set suitable for children aged four and above. Usually retailing at £18, we've discovered a way for parents to grab it for less than £3 using a clever trick at the Argos checkout.
Shoppers can simply visit the TopCashback site and create a new account using our unique link to receive £15 back on qualifying orders over £15. This includes the Lego Bluey set, resulting in a saving of £15.22 for shoppers.
The Bluey set comprises 104 pieces in total, making it an easily manageable set for younger builders. The set includes both Bluey and Chloe minifigures, along with a Playground diorama for staging them.

Once assembled, the set serves as an excellent display model. Alternatively, the sturdy characters and scenery can withstand active play as playset models.
If your little ones are more into Disney films than Bluey, there are other sets that might pique their interest.
The Heihei model from Moana 2 is currently reduced to £24.99 on Amazon, while the Stitch set has also been heavily discounted to £42.99.

Autographed Lord of the Rings cards fetch nearly £3k
Autographed Lord of the Rings cards have bagged just under £3,000 at auction. The complete set of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring memorabilia cards was sold for £2,860 by Ewbank's Auction near Woking in Surrey. Auctioneer Andrew Ewbank told the BBC it was a "good result". "It is testament to the ongoing popularity of both the films, and the story itself." Mr Ewbank said two young children bid in the auction with their father and bought some Pokémon cards that were also on sale. "It is wonderful to see young people at the saleroom getting the collecting bug," he added. 'Quite unusual' The set contains 10 autographed cards, signed by actors including Sir Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood and Viggo Mortensen - who played Gandalf, Frodo and Aragorn in the film respectively. Cards have also been signed by the actors of Gimli, Pippin, Arwen, Bilbo, Galadriel, Sam and Boromir in the original Lord of the Rings trilogy, based on JRR Tolkien's fantasy novels. It also comprises all 162 base set cards, 10 prismatic foil cards, checklist cards, The Legend Comes to Life cards parts one and two, both bonus foils cards and three empty booster packs. Lord of the Rings tells Brighton bin firm to change name Mr Ewbank previously said it was "quite unusual" to have a complete set, which would have taken "quite a feat" to collect. "A lot of people in their 30s and 40s would've bought these cards when they were children in the 1990s and early 2000s," he continued. "Trading cards are an increasingly popular area of collecting, attracting a new generation of collectors," said Mr Ewbank.

'Harrowing' Netflix thriller leaves fans rolling their eyes despite Oscar worthy performance
The lead performance has made the film be dubbed must watch thanks to Marvel star Netflix subscribers are split over a new 'nightmarish' thriller based on a best-selling novel. Night Always Comes, which is now available for streaming on the platform from today (August 15), is adapted from the acclaimed and award-winning author Willy Vlautin's book The Night Always Comes. The original novel was hailed as a contemporary western, crime noir tale unfolding over two days and nights. The film adaptation, also showing on the big screen in selected cinemas across the UK, is directed by Benjamin Caron, known for his work on Star Wars series Andor, The Crown and Sherlock. Vanessa Kirby, star of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Mission Impossible franchise, takes the lead role as Lynette, a woman who risks it all to secure the funds needed for a house that could offer a brighter future for her family, reports the Express. Embarking on a perilous journey through a single night, Lynette is forced to face her dark past in a bid to finally break free from old habits. Kirby is joined in the cast by fellow Marvel actor Randall Park, renowned for his work in comedy series Fresh Off the Boat. There are also performances from House of Cards' Michael Kelly and celebrated filmmaker Eli Roth makes a brief cameo too. With the film only just released to the viewing public, reviews have just started to be published online. While it could change over time, it has not yet managed to achieve a rating on website Rotten Tomatoes worthy of the 'fresh' label. Netflix viewers and fans are currently divided over the film, although many concur that Kirby's performance is outstanding. One critic praised: "Vanessa Kirby commands the screen in a harrowing spiral of bad choices, delivering a performance as riveting as the story is nightmarish." Another reviewer enthused: "Night Always Comes is a gripping character-driven thriller that is also a powerful drama about how far one is willing to go for their family. Vanessa Kirby delivers a tour-de-force performance that is Oscar-worthy. It's a must-watch." However, some were less impressed by the film's plot or its ability to maintain the necessary tension for a successful thriller. One review noted: "Night Always Comes can get a little unrealistic with the peril we find her in, and sitting in that darkness for nearly two hours can get a little emotionally taxing, but even when it's too much to bear, you'll find a film that needs to be seen." Others highlighted that the film struggles to strike a balance between being an engaging crime thriller and incorporating social commentary. As one viewer put it: "Night Always Comes is almost two movies in a way, opening as a study of desperation before turning into a crime picture, and the mix of moods doesn't always work". On the other hand, a less impressed viewer wrote: "Kirby renders Lynette so fearless and compelling that you've no choice but to defy your better judgment and ride along. Just expect to be doing a lot of eye-rolling accompanied by incredulous exclamations of 'c'mon!' Yes, Kirby has game, but (director) Caron has no shame. Neither does (screenwriter) Sarah Conradt, whose adaptation of Vlautin's novel is nothing but episodic nonsense."
