Lego Deals This Week 23rd August

Lego Millennium FalconThe online stores have had a fairly slow week, Lego Deals wise, but we can expect that to heat up as more retailers compete for post back-to-school dollars.

I imagine this is the start of the build up towards Christmas for many toy retailers. As I am combing online stores daily for Lego deals I will pass on any specials or deals I find.

Lego At Amazon This Week

Amazon.com is always an interesting place to look for Lego deals-though a bit temperamental.

The main issue is that a deal that comes up could last anything from a few hours to a few weeks; there is no rhyme or rule to Amazon’s discounts when it comes to Lego.

Despite this, Amazon have a great store with an awesome range of Lego sets. Their FREE shipping and excellent customer service is also one of the major reasons they are the kings of online retail.

This Week At Barnes And Noble

B&N Kids ClubBarnes and Noble is another of the kings of online retail but their approach to Lego is a little different.

They don’t carry a whole lot of stock and sets that come into stock today can disappear in hours. Having said that Barnes and Noble have a great Kids Club and coupon system where you can get 30% off an item of Lego and for every $100 you spend you receive a $5 voucher.
