Lego's getting some rare discount thanks to Prime Day — here are our favorites
Any good Lego fan will know that those sets are not cheap, especially if you want the big, beautiful licensed editions. Sales are also pretty rare, especially on the biggest and grandest sets that you'll want to decorate your home with.
Fortunately both Prime Day and Lego Insiders Day have knocked down the price tags on some of the best Lego sets you can buy. For instance, the Marvel Daily Bugle set is now just $279/£239 at the Lego Store for Insiders members, down from $349/£299. Meanwhile Brits can pick up Lord of the Rings Rivendell for £365 at Amazon, which is 15% less than the usual £429 price tag.
Lego is also offering Insiders double reward points on select sets. How many points you get differs by region, but it's equivalent to 10% cash back. A few even offer quadruple points, which is like getting 20% back.
If you're not a member of Lego Insiders, the company's in-house loyalty program, now's the time to sign up. Not only is it free to join, but you also earn reward points for every purchase you make from the Lego store or website.
Points are worth roughly 5% of what you paid at normal times. You can then redeem them to earn money off future purchases, or gain access to exclusive sets and gifts in the Lego Insiders Rewards Center.
Double Insiders Points on select themes @ LegoRight now Lego is offering double Insiders points on selected themes — which is the equivalent of 10% cash back. Themes included in this offer include City, Creator, Dreamzzz, Friends, Ninjago, Duplo, Minecraft, Animal Crossing, Wednesday, Wicked and Lego Classic
Quadruple Insiders Points on select sets @ LegoIf you're looking to stock up on Insider's Reward points, then be sure to check out these sets offering 4x the normal number of points — equivalent to 20% cash back.
There are only 5 sets in this deal, 3 of which are cars, but if you've always had an eye on the Technic Mercedes G-Wagen then now's the time to buy.
Free gifts with purchase @ LegoSpend enough at lego at any given time and you'll be given some free gifts to go with it è and Insider's Day is no exception. Spend $150/!35 and you'll nab this cool African Savanah set.
Meanwhile if you've also spent at least $65/£60 on City, Classic, Creator, Duplo, Friends, DreamZzz or Ninjago you'll get an iuce-pop tray that lets you make Minifigure-shaped popsicles.
Save $70 on this giant 3,789 piece recreation of the Daily Bugle from Marvel's Spider-Man comics. But that's not all; this set also comes with 25 minifigures, some of which can't be found elsewhere, like Daredevil and Punisher, plus classics like Spider-Man, Doc Ok, Miles Morales, and J Jonah Jameson himself.
Lego's been going all in on helping its bricks decorate your home, with artwork and flowers. The Milky Way Galaxy might be the most extravagant pieces yet. This set recreates our home galaxy in meticulous detail using over 3,000 individual pieces. And while it may be a long process, you still get an excellent piece of wall art for your home in the process.
I've always had a soft spot for the real-life space sets, but the NASA Lunar Rover has always felt a little expensive to me. Fortunately it's now 30% off at Amazon, netting you the buggy (and its associated accessories) for just $153. It's also roughly the right scale the the Lego Creator Astronaut, if you want to kit out your lunar rover with some actual space explorers.
If you're more of a classic Lego space fan, then the Blacktron renegade will probably help tickle your nostalgia sensors. This modern recreation of Classic Space's bad guys is a great build with 1,151 pieces, featuring the Blacktron ship itself, a buggy and three minifigures.
Animal Crossing is one of the biggest new licensed sets to hit store shelves, and this one gives you the home of the series' most recognizable character — Tom Nook. There's no Timmy and Tommy, but you do get Rosie the cat and both characters' respective houses.
One of the most iconic ships in the Star Wars franchise, now on sale for Amazon Prime Day. Not only does this get you a playable Star Destroyer ship, you also get Darth Vader, a handful of imperial officers and soldiers, plus the exclusive 25th anniversary Cal Kestis minifigure.
Brickheadz aren't as common as they once were, but Lego is still making them. In fact, the latest batch is this 6-figure set from Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace. In it, you get Podracer Anakin, Queen Amidala, Jar Jar, Darth Maul, Qui Gon Jinn and Captain Panaka.
Not all Lego has to be from big licensed brands, and the Motorised Lighthouse is a great example of what Lego can make on its own. Not only is it a great display piece by itself, but the top of the lighthouse actually lights up and spins just like the real thing.
Lego and flashy cars go together really well — and for most of us it's the closest we'll get to owning such extravagant vehicles. It helps that sets like the Lamborghini Sián also look really nice, but like its real life counterpart the price can sting a bit. Fortunately it's now on sale for Lego Insiders — with over £110 off.
The Great Deku Tree is a just-own for Zelda fans, and the Prime Day sales mean that the usual high price tag is now 18% lower than normal. While still a pricey set, the new £212 price tag is a lot more palatable — especially when you remember there are two possible builds. So whether you're a fan of Ocarina of Time or Breath of the Wild, this set is one for you.
Another pricey set that is getting a rare discount for Prime Day, the Lego Rivendell set is a gorgeous recreation of Elrond's home from the Lord of the Rings (and The Hobbit) movies. But with over 6,000 pieces and 15 minifigures, it's not for the faint of heart.
Skeleton Crew may not have got a lot of attention, but it still gave us this excellent set — featuring one of the most interesting-looking Star Wars ships in a while. With over 1,300 pieces and five minifigures, this is definitely one to add to the collection.
If you want to spruce up your home with plantlife, but can't be trusted to keep it alive, then the Lego Botanicals range is certainly the one for you. This buildable orchid is a personal favorite, since it's a lot less fussy than the real thing but looks just as nice.
You can't talk about Star Wars without brining up the most iconic droid in the series — R2-D2. So iconic, in fact, that Lego can't stop making brickified versions of him. The latest version is just over 1,000 pieces, and comes with a bunch of cool, accessories for the beeping-booping droid. Plus an exclusive 25th anniversary Dark Malak minifigure.

5 common Amazon scams and how to avoid them
Amazon is the the most efficient, popular online retailer. So maybe it shouldn't be surprising that it's a gold mine for scammers. These individuals, bless their blackened hearts, are adept at crafting new and increasingly plausible ways to trick the unsuspecting—and posing as Amazon is an easy way to attract attention. So, with a healthy dose of skepticism, let's examine a few of their more popular ruses. And, more importantly, how to avoid becoming the next victim. 'Your Account Is On Hold!' This particular chestnut arrives via email, often with a subject line designed to induce mild panic. It's adorned with a passable Amazon logo and a link, invariably urging you to verify your details or update your billing information. How to avoid it: Amazon, for all its technological prowess, rarely communicates critical account issues via unsolicited links in an email. Outsmarting this one can be done the same way you outsmart just about every other phishing email out there. Make sure to examine the sender's address. Does it genuinely end in '@ Or is it a peculiar string of characters, perhaps including ' somewhere? The latter is a strong indicator it's a scam. In the message itself, are there peculiar grammatical constructions or spellings that suggest English might not be the author's primary language? These subtle imperfections are often telltale signs, though they're getting harder to spot thanks to AI. And finally, resist the urge to click. If there's genuinely an issue with your Amazon account, manually navigating to in your browser and logging in will reveal all. Any legitimate alerts will be visible there. The 'Unexpected Refund' Text Message This rather sneaky tactic involves a text message, ostensibly from Amazon, informing you that a recent purchase of yours has failed some sort of routine inspection. Perhaps it's being recalled, or simply isn't up to Amazon's exacting standards. The good news, the message purports, is that a full refund is due, often without the hassle of returning the offending item. All you need do is click the convenient link provided to claim your compensation. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission, among others, has recently issued warnings about this particular brand of mischief. How to avoid it: Excitement for an unexpected windfall should be tempered with a healthy dose of doubt. For starters, while Amazon does send legitimate texts, an unsolicited refund notification, particularly for an unspecified item and without requiring a return, is highly suspect. Clicking the link in the text message will, in all likelihood, lead you to a meticulously crafted phishing page that looks just like the official Amazon login page—just waiting to collect your Amazon credentials, payment information, and any other personal details you're willing to volunteer. Should you harbor even a fleeting thought that the message might be legitimate, bypass the text entirely by logging into your Amazon account via the official website or the app. Any legitimate refund or recall information will be clearly displayed within your order history or official notifications. The 'Accidental Over-Refund' This is a somewhat more sophisticated deception. You might receive a call or an email asserting that Amazon has, through some inexplicable error, refunded you too much for a recent return. The request is for you to remit the 'overpayment,' often via the purchase of gift cards or a wire transfer. How to avoid it: Before doing anything, consult your actual bank statements or Amazon account to confirm the alleged overpayment. It's almost certain you'll find no such anomaly. When it comes to Amazon's refund protocol, the company's internal processes are reasonably sophisticated. Should a genuine error occur, the company would rectify it internally, not solicit funds from you via questionable methods— certainly not gift cards! And if anyone purports to be from Amazon and requests remote access to your computer to 'correct' a refund issue, it's time to end the conversation. Amazon will never, ever, ever ask for access to your computer. 'Your Order Has Shipped!' Wait, what order? This particular trick plays on a combination of alarm and curiosity. A plausible-looking order confirmation arrives in your inbox for an item—often expensive— that you most certainly didn't purchase. The objective is to prompt you to click the 'Cancel Order' or 'View Details' link in a state of agitation. How to avoid it: Bypass the email entirely. Log into your Amazon account and go to your 'Orders' section. If the supposed order isn't there, it's a fabrication. Though generally ill-advised, should you feel compelled to examine a link, hover your mouse cursor over it and observe the URL that appears. If it deviates significantly from then it's best left unclicked. The 'Mystery Package' Brushing Scam This particular oddity is less about financial theft and more about system manipulation. You receive a package from Amazon, addressed to you, containing an item you never ordered—often something inexpensive and utterly random. The purpose? A third-party seller is using your details to create fake purchases, allowing them to post fraudulent positive reviews under your name, thereby artificially boosting their product's standing. How to avoid it: While seemingly harmless, receiving free—albeit often useless— goods does indicate your personal information is being exploited. Do a good deed by contacting Amazon customer service and reporting the unsolicited package. The company takes a dim view of such practices. And given that your address is being used, a periodic review of your credit report for any other unusual activity is probably in order.
