Bluey Lego set drops to less than £3 for Argos shoppers with clever deal stack

Wales Online4 days ago
LEGO sets cater to a wide range of interests, with models based on popular films like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, as well as sets designed for younger audiences. One such set is inspired by the much-loved children's TV show Bluey.
Suitable for children aged four and above, the Bluey LEGO Playground set usually retails for £18. However, we've discovered a way for parents to purchase it for less than £3 using a trick at the Argos checkout.
LEGO lovers 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, which also qualifies for a further 1.5% off all items from Argos, resulting in a saving of £15.22 for shoppers, taking the price to just £2.78 for the set.
The Bluey set comprises 104 pieces in total, making it an accessible set for younger builders. It includes both Bluey and Chloe mini-figures, along with a Playground scene that's perfect for fuelling their imaginations, reports the Manchester Evening News.
LEGO has designed this set with plenty of bright colours which not only make the set more fun to play with, but also make it easier to build with clear and simple instructions.
Once built, the set makes for an excellent display model or the characters and scenery are sturdy enough to withstand being played with on repeat.

If your children are more into Disney films rather than Bluey, there are several other sets for them to choose from. The LEGO Disney Moana 2 Heihei Building Toy 2, for example, is reduced to £24.99 on Amazon, while the Stitch LEGO set is also heavily discounted to £42.99.
Smyth Toys also has a range of MEGA Blocks for £19.99 per pack. While slightly less complex than a standard LEGO set, they're ideal for little ones who want to get stuck in and play.
There's only one review of the Bluey LEGO set at Argos with the buyer rating it five stars. "My 4 year old daughter loved this for her first LEGO set. She is a huge Bluey fan," their review reads.
Over on the LEGO site, another five star review reads: "That was awesome and easy to build."
Another reviewer left a three star rating on the LEGO site, but didn't elaborate with a description of why they gave that score.

Ibiza Final Boss slapped with dire warning as he 'must make important decision'

'Ibiza Final Boss' Jack Kay is enjoying the summer of a lifetime, seizing every opportunity his newfound fame has brought him. However, an expert has warned that he now has three major pitfalls to avoid 'Ibiza Final Boss' Jack Kay will remember the summer of 2025 for the rest of his life, but an expert had warned it might come at a cost if he's not careful. ‌ The ordinary lad from Newcastle is currently the man of the moment after footage of him dancing away on the famed party island earned him legions of followers. His distinct Lego-style haircut means he likely won't be slipping under the radar anytime soon. ‌ While riding the high of becoming one of the most recognisable viral sensations in recent years, 26-year-old Jack has been seizing every opportunity that comes his way. ‌ Rave icon Jack has already released his first dance track in collaboration with music artist Carnao Beats. He's also announced an upcoming nightclub tour and there have been reports of a potential Big Brother appearance, much to the delight of fans. Overnight, Jack has entered a life where he flies by private jet and gets DMs from the likes of and Durex. But what does it mean for the party animal long term? The Mirror spoke with Mayah Riaz, PR to the stars and all-around expert on the highs and lows of fame. Jack's situation, Mayah says, is "a textbook case" of what she refers to as "flashpoint fame". Explaining this definition, Mayah explained: "That sudden viral moment that feels unstoppable, until it isn't. This type of fame in 2025 can arrive overnight, without warning, and without a manual." It's hard to think of a better example of just how transformative viral fame can be. Jack flew off on a mates' holiday like any other British twentysomething, on a budget airline. Just days later, he returned via private jet. ‌ It's not surprising, then, that 'Ibiza Bob' can be seen grinning from ear to ear in every photograph he posts. But how long can this rush last, and could the winds of fortune change once more for Jack, just as quickly? Mayah, who is currently writing a book on "all aspects" of fame, said: "Viral fame is that it is a sugar rush as it's fast, intoxicating, and feels like it will last forever. But in reality, the public's attention span is shorter than ever now. Unless someone has a clear plan and a way to keep themselves relevant, the spotlight can fade in weeks, sometimes days. ‌ "This is where having a good team around you is key. But when you're thrown into overnight fame, Jack has found himself in, it's difficult to know who the right people are and figure out what you need, as often you find yourself surrounded by people who want to cash in on your fame." With this in mind, the expert has warned of three major pitfalls which may well trip up the Ibiza Final Boss as he continues his summer of a lifetime. She advised: "Firstly, burnout from overexposure is very common. When every waking hour is an opportunity, it's tempting to say yes to everything. The danger is that he will exhaust himself, lose perspective, and make choices for quick wins rather than sustainable growth. ‌ "There is also financial whiplash. The money from club appearances or collaborations can feel like it will keep coming, but unless he diversifies his income and thinks long-term, he can end up with a higher lifestyle and no means to support it once the hype dies down. "And then comes the 'now what?' moment. When it does die down, going from constant attention to near silence can be a huge emotional adjustment. Without a plan for what comes after, it could leave him feeling lost or chasing riskier stunts to stay in the headlines." Thankfully for Jack, there are plenty of stars who have managed to build something more long-lasting after finding overnight fame, sustaining their profile over many years. So what separates the stars that soar from those that flicker and burn out all too quickly? Mayah revealed: "The people who turn a viral moment into a career are the ones who treat fame like a business, not a party. ‌ "They have a vision beyond the headlines, they know their audience, and they align every appearance with their long-term story. Now, Jack isn't going to necessarily know this himself, as this has literally been overnight for him. As he has an agent, this is why it is important for him to put that support in place for Jack. "Jack's challenge and opportunity is to decide if this is something that he wants to continue after Ibiza's summer season. If he wants it to continue, my advice to him would be to treat it as a springboard, not a peak. This would mean that, in between partying, he plans his next move before the first wave of attention is over, builds relationships in the industry, and aligns himself with opportunities that make sense for his brand." ‌ Offering some pearls of wisdom, Mayah continued: "As I always tell clients: fame is a spark, not a fireplace. If you want lasting warmth, you have to build the fire. "There definitely could be something lasting here if Jack treats this as the start of a story rather than the whole story. But if it's all lived in the now, the spotlight will inevitably move on - and it always does!"

Why grown-up toy lovers are buying Pokémon, plushies and Raleigh Choppers

From retro bikes to plush toys and Pokémon cards, these are just some of the kidult favourites flying off shelves right now. | NationalWorld This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement. I went looking into the £1bn kidult toy boom and ended up with Pokémon cards in my basket and serious nostalgia for the summer of '75.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... I've been intrigued by reports of the kidult phenomenon – adults buying toys for themselves in record numbers – so I decided to dig in. Ten minutes later I was in a full-on nostalgia spiral and my online basket was suspiciously full. (I'm 59, by the way.) It turns out I'm not alone. According to consumer analysts Circana, UK shoppers aged 12 and over – including a rapidly growing number of adults – are now responsible for almost £1 in every £3 spent on toys. That's a whopping £1 billion in sales over the past year alone. And it's not just for gifts. We're talking grown-ups proudly buying Pokémon cards, Lego sets, and collectible figures for themselves. It makes sense. We've all lived through enough stress lately. If a squishy plush or an old-school trading card brings even a flash of comfort or joy, what's the harm? In fact, Circana says these toys are part of the 'joy economy', helping people cope with modern life through nostalgia and escapism. So, in the spirit of festive fun and self-gifting, here are five of the hottest kidult toys right now – the ones everyone's talking about, and yes, the ones I'm seriously considering buying for myself. 1. Pokémon Holiday Calendar 2025 – a nostalgic countdown with serious card loot The Pokémon Holiday Calendar 2025 is packed with cards, stickers and festive exclusives – a daily dose of nostalgia for collectors and fans alike. | Pokemon Let's be honest: advent calendars have become a thing for grown-ups – and this one's a winner if you're a millennial who remembers your first Pikachu. The 2025 Pokémon Holiday Calendar is packed with cards, stickers and exclusive festive goodies that make it more than worth the price. You get six full booster packs, eight festive-stamped foil cards, and even three-card fun packs for that little daily hit of excitement. It's like a Christmas countdown and a childhood flashback rolled into one. 2. LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 – the droid that's stolen my heart (and my basket) This LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 set is packed with features and collectible extras – a centrepiece build that hits the sweet spot between nostalgia and display-worthy design. | LEGO As 'research' (honest), I entered my age and interests into LEGO's online gift finder – expecting maybe a keyring or two. What came back was a full-blown temptation assault. From retro icons to architectural marvels, it's clear they know exactly how to lure in the kidult crowd. But the one I couldn't resist? This LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 set. At £89.99, it's not cheap – but it's a glorious, display-worthy tribute to everyone's favourite astromech droid. It's got a rotating head, working periscope, hidden tools, a stand and plaque, and a bonus mini R2-D2. There's even a 25th anniversary Darth Malak figure thrown in. 3. Squishmallows Ambergris – the goblin king of cuddle culture Squishmallow I'll be honest – I hadn't really clocked the whole plush toy thing for adults. But the more I looked, the more I realised half the people I know probably already own one. These are not your childhood teddies. Squishmallows have become a full-blown adult fandom, thanks to their oversized designs, quirky backstories and ridiculously soft texture. I stumbled across Ambergris, the 16-inch Goblin King, on Amazon – and suddenly I got it. He's burgundy, weirdly majestic, and apparently collects porcelain pig figurines. No notes. Whether it ends up on your bed, your desk, or your sofa, this plush is part toy, part comfort blanket, and part conversation starter. 4. Bandai Dragon Ball Super Blue Goku – the anime icon striking a pose on my desk The Dragon Ball Evolve Blue Goku figure offers fully poseable action at a pocket-friendly price – a must-have for anime fans and collectors alike. | Amazon Even I've noticed that anime has taken over – not just streaming platforms, but merch shelves, gift guides and collector wishlists across the world. Its roots may be in Japan, China and South Korea, but anime's bold art style and sprawling fantasy universes have made it the global fandom of the moment. If you're dipping a toe into the world of figures, Bandai's Dragon Ball Evolve range is a good place to start. This Blue Goku action figure, currently Amazon's top anime toy, is fully articulated, surprisingly detailed for the price, and just £9.99. You get 15 points of movement, iconic poses from the Dragon Ball Super saga, and a character that's been powering up since the '80s. 5. Raleigh Chopper Fizzy Lemon – the ultimate throwback to my Evel Knievel days It's back! And yours for £999. | Raleigh Back in 1975, I ruled the streets on a gleaming purple Raleigh Chopper. Perched high on the banana seat, arms stretched to those ridiculous handlebars, I felt like Evel Knievel pedalling into history. It wasn't just a bike – it was freedom. And danger. I once launched off a brick ramp in our back garden and came down minus most of the skin on my knees. Now, the Chopper's back – and I'm seriously tempted. The new MK4 edition has all the retro glory of the originals: oversized seat, sissy bar, working 3-speed shifter and those iconic U-bars. The Fizzy Lemon version is a sunshine yellow time machine, right down to the vintage decals. At £999, it's no casual purchase – but for collectors and die-hard fans, it's a piece of living history.

Retro gaming expert's verdict on new 'surprisingly affordable' Lego Game Boy

Experts have reviewed the much-anticipated product ahead of its October release, and it is available to pre-order now. Retro game fans are champing at the bit to get their hands on the upcoming Lego Game Boy model building kit, which is currently available to pre-order on Amazon for £54.99. And ahead of its long-awaited release on October 1, experts in the field of old-school gaming have given their verdict on the product. LEGO have teamed up with Nintendo to bring fans the new building set for adults that holds an uncanny resemblance to the original Game Boy. And one expert at GamesRadar wrote that they 'can't get over how accurate' the Lego Game Boy is, drumming up yet more excitement for the upcoming product. The games reviewer was also impressed by the '"surprisingly affordable" £54.99 price tag. The Lego product, which is for adults only (18+), contains 421 pieces and measures over 5.5 inches (14cm) high, 3.5 inches (9cm) wide and 1 inch (3cm) deep- a near 1:1 ratio to the original console. The Lego Game Boy includes all the memorable features from the original console, including the +Control Pad, A and B Buttons, and SELECT and START, alongside other iconic Game Boy details, such as the contrast adjustment and volume dial. And the GamesRader experts were blown away by the Lego version's accuracy to the retro gaming device. They said: "As someone who spends a lot of time fixing old Game Boys, I was also concerned the Lego set would miss the mark. "In theory, recreating the portable console out of blocks should be a challenge since it's practically a grey brick, but the construction toy pioneers have created a model that's smashed my expectations in terms of detail." Those shopping for other Lego Nintendo products that are available now may opt for the Lego Super Mario Piranha Plant Set for £58 on Argos, or the Lego Super Mario Adventures with Interactive Mario for £45, also on Argos. But another show-stopping feature of the Lego console is that it comes with a cartridge slot that users can insert fake games into, which appear on the 'screen' of the console as if the real game was running. The reviewer said: "It's hard to get a proper sense of the lenticular effect from photos, but Lego's example shots already look impressively convincing. "Not only are the inserts the same color of green as the Game Boy's polarizing filter, but the lens helps it catch the light in the same way as the old non-backlit LCD." But while it may look ready to switch on and play, there are no light, sound or display play functions in the set. And although this expert is thrilled with the product, other gaming fans have taken to X to air out their grievances with the un-playable toy. One said: "That stinks. I would rather have a real Gameboy and play the real games." A second wrote on the social media platform: "So, it's not playable for that amount of money?" But other fans are looking forward to the set, with one saying: "Brilliant, I hope this becomes a whole series of portable console Lego sets!" The Lego Game Boy is available to pre-order on Amazon.
