We’ve been seeing occasional early Black Friday deals pop up at various retailers all month, but they've finally began in earnest. Both Amazon and Best Buy kicked off their official Black Friday sales on Thursday, November 20. Among the killer deals available at this early date are LEGO Black Friday deals at Best Buy. You can check out the full sale here, or read on for our recommendations.
LEGO Deals
The two biggest ones to consider for any LEGO aficionados out there are the Bumblebee Transformers set and the Fortnite Peely Bones set. The Bumblebee set is great because you can actually transform it from robot to car form without having to take it apart and rebuild it. It's also the lowest price we’ve seen yet. And it’s a killer set – just check out our experience building it.
As for the Fortnite Peely Bone set, it’s one of the many sets LEGO is retiring soon (you'll notice the “Retiring Soon” tag on the official LEGO Store listing). That means LEGO will stop making this set, likely within the next couple of months. After that, once retailers sell through their existing stock, it will only be available on the second-hand market, which is when prices skyrocket.
I have the Peely Bone set and can attest that it’s super impressive in person. It’s both taller and thicker than it appears in the pictures. It stands over 14 inches tall, and is super stocky and sturdy on its buildable base. It comes equipped with a Peely Pick Pickaxe, paint launcher, and Banana Bag back bling.
As for the rest of the sets on sale, some of the deals are better than others. As a general rule, you can save around 20% off LEGO sets in any old sale throughout the year, so a 20% discount isn't special on most sets. The real Black Friday-level deals are 30%, 40%, or even 50% off LEGO sets. You can use that as a guideline for whether a sale price is really worth picking up as Black Friday approaches. If you’re wondering whether a deal is worth picking up, you can also check on Camelcamelcamel, which tracks prices on Amazon and provides a good barometer of how often it drops to any given price.
If the sets you’re after aren’t on sale at Best Buy right now, you only need to wait a little longer. LEGO’s official Black Friday sale doesn’t go live until Black Friday proper, November 28. If you’re looking for deals sooner, this weekend the LEGO Store will host an Insiders Weekend promotion, exclusively for LEGO Insiders (you can sign up here for free). Black Friday is also the day LEGO will release the highly anticipated LEGO Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise, which looks incredible if you ask me. You can see that and more in our look at the LEGO sets for November 2025.
