LEGO Life Magazine
An easy way to score some Lego coupons is by signing up for the free Lego Life Magazine. While the magazine is aimed at children, it does contain news about upcoming sets, cool builds, and most importantly discount coupons which can be used online or in-store.
LEGO insiders program
The LEGO Insiders program is free to join and gives you access to a whole suite of perks including double reward points, exclusive discounts, and, early access to upcoming sets.
Another perk of being a part of the LEGO insider program is that LEGO stores often run points events where purchases made in-store earn you even more points. Points can then be redeemed for discounts, each 100 points can net you a £5 discount. These events usually run during April and October so it's worth keeping an eye out for more details during this period. While not a perk of the insider program specifically, purchases made through the LEGO store over the price of £75 also often come with a LEGO polybag.

Save with Pick a Brick
If you’re in the store anyway it's worth checking out the pick and build wall. Here you’ll be able to choose between two different containers, one costing £7.99 and the other £14.99. Obviously, the containers dictate how much LEGO you’re getting, but if you cram it in, shake the container, and let the bricks settle you can make this worth your while.
No need to worry if you’ve left the store though as the Pick and Build Wall is available online at the LEGO website. The website comes with the added perk of every brick being available meaning you’re not restricted to whatever's left at the store selection.
Something to be aware of when ordering online is the Bestseller and Standard categories that LEGO places some bricks into. Bestsellers have a quicker delivery time and lower service fee (£2.50 for orders under £10.) Whereas Standard bricks have a slower delivery time as they’re handpicked in Billund and come with a higher service charge (£5 for orders under £10.)
Creative Brick Boxes
The LEGO itch can be hard to stave off sometimes and even harder to scratch when popular sets often cost hundreds of pounds. So, if you’re just wanting to build then the LEGO creative build boxes could be for you.
While the builds aren't particularly exciting, each box comes with some builds that are possible depending on which size box you purchase. The Large Creative Brick Box comes with 790 pieces and a LEGO ideas booklet to get you started, but you’re only limited by your imagination.
Shop second-hand
Shopping second-hand for LEGO can be a cost-effective way of getting the set you desire, there are loads of open markets you can choose from such as eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and more. You could even try your hand at charity shops and thrift stores.
A main concern when buying second-hand is that sets may be incomplete, however, there are some sites available where you can buy specific pieces meaning it could still be cheaper.
BrickLink is one of the most popular LEGO resellers, here you can buy specific pieces and full sets. This is great if you’re looking for a discontinued set or minifig as the reseller lists sets for sale from all around the globe.
eBay also has several authorised LEGO resellers like BrickLink and RareBrix. The good thing about these resellers is that they are authorised meaning you’re going to get a legitimate LEGO set. These resellers also host their sales across the year and eBay discount codes can be used on purchases.
Where can you find the best LEGO deals?
An obvious way to save on LEGO is to shop during the sale season. The big ones to look out for are Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and, Christmas. However, LEGO hosts sales throughout the year, and the best way to stay in the know on when these sales are live is by signing up for the newsletter.
Another thing to bear in mind if you’re after a specific set is that the sale immediately after its release probably won't yield much of a discount, it's better to wait for the second or third sale after to see any real savings. If you want to look more in-depth at price fluctuations Camel Camel is great for tracking prices of specific sets over time.

May the 4th LEGO Deals
There's only one thing more iconic than LEGO and that's LEGO Star Wars. The two titans of pop culture have collaborated since 1991, and the collection remains one of the most popular to this day.
Luckily for you Star Wars fans LEGO also likes to celebrate the ad-hock holiday of May the 4th. Last years celebration saw LEGO giveaway specific Star Wars sets with purchases that met certain price thresholds. We expect this year to be much the same.
Do LEGO do Black Friday deals?
LEGO has a Black Friday sale every year where you'll find some of the best LEGO deals. The sale usually starts during the last week of November and runs through until Cyber Monday. During last year's Black Friday sale sets from the Star Wars, Ideas, and Icons collections were discounted by as much as 40%.
Are there any LEGO deals in Amazon Prime Day?
Obviously, when it comes to Black Friday we can't not mention Amazon. Amazon tends to have some of the most significant savings available during this period, meaning you can get a great deal on LEGO.
Amazon Prime Day also has some great LEGO savings on offer, with fan-favourite sets from the Marvel collection being discounted as heavily as 30%.
Use LEGO Discount Codes
You can head to our LEGO discount code pageto find yourself a saving. Of course, you aren't just limited to shopping at the LEGO store during the sale season. You can check out stores which we have discount codes for like Argos, Amazon, Smyths, andZavvi, which all have their own sales and exclusive savings.
These stores are even worth checking out when sales aren't going on as they often have sets available for a discounted price. For example, Zavvi at the time of writing has a LEGO R2D2 available for £169.99 whereas the LEGO store has it available for £209.99.

Supermarket LEGO Deals
While it may not be the first thing that comes to mind, Supermarkets are a great place to score some LEGO, with both Aldi and Tesco stocking the brick. While you won't find some of the bigger sets in supermarkets, you’ll still be treated to a variety of small LEGO sets that tend to be cheaper than in the brand's store.
Another perk of buying LEGO at the supermarket is that you can use your relevant rewards program to both earn points on your LEGO purchase and use reward point coupons to save on your LEGO purchases.
We stock discount codes for Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, andMorrisons to help you save even more on LEGO at the supermarket.

Exclusive Mother's Day Offer
In the run-up to Mother's Day, LEGO is running an exclusive event in its stores between the 2nd and 3rd of March. The event allows you to build your own mini LEGO photo frame and take it home for free. The frame is functional and can fit a small photo inside, there's only a limited amount of frames available, so you'll have to be quick on this one.
LEGO Student Discount
Students rejoice! We all know that being a student comes with the caveat of being perpetually skint (for most). However, that doesn't mean you have to miss out on the brick.
LEGO offers a unique discount for students who verify their education status with Student Beans. Right now, those who sign up for the discount can receive an Easter basket of LEGO when they spend £65 or more! The discount can change month to month so it's worth checking regularly.
Hey! I'm Josh and I started working at MyVoucherCodes in March 2023. Prior to this, I studied at Cardiff Metropolitan University where I completed a Master's degree in Specialist Journalism, I also completed a Bachelor's degree in History at Liverpool John Moores University. My interest in history ultimately rekindled my love of writing, which largely stems from the aspect of deducing motive and subtext from both historical sources and contexts. However, this fascination with critical thinking has now expanded beyond that of the historical, it now pervades many aspects of my interests from the film, video games, and technical fashion to larger societal issues and the efforts being made to combat them through technological advancements. It is my desire to produce media discussing these topics at length and apply critical analysis to them.
When I'm not working, I enjoy reading, listening to music, watching films, and playing games. I'm particularly interested in Welsh history and sci-fi and fantasy genres. I also love attending Europe's biggest gaming convention in Cologne every year and e-skating during the warmer months.
