5 Ways to Save on LEGO: Where to Find Discounts and Alternatives.

According to The Sun: LEGO is becoming increasingly popular among children and adults who spend hours creating miniature worlds.

Although branded building blocks are not cheap, there are several ways to save on their purchase.

Money-Saving Tips

BECOME A MEMBER: Sign up for the free LEGO Insider club to earn bonus points when purchasing or registering sets.

You will receive special discounts and codes for LEGO, as well as free gifts with selected set purchases and early access to limited series.

CASHBACK: When buying from the LEGO website, don't forget about the cashback program.

TopCashback currently offers participants up to 8.5% cashback on purchases in the online store.

Additionally, you can get part of your expenses back when buying LEGO from retailers such as The Entertainer and Hamleys.

USED BRICKS: You can always buy and sell used LEGO through webuybricks.co.uk.

The site features a set of 700 pieces that includes at least two mini-figures for £19.99 — a significant saving compared to £44.99 for a new LEGO creative brick box set.

FREEBIES: Register children for the free LEGO magazine on the website.

This magazine is aimed at children aged five to nine, released four times a year, and contains comics, building ideas, and posters.

Occasionally, the toy store The Entertainer offers free LEGO sets or “make and take” events. All details can be found on their website.

SUPER ALTERNATIVES: You don't necessarily have to buy LEGO to engage in brick building. Wilko offers a range of blocks compatible with LEGO, allowing for easy connections.

Moreover, Wilko's versions are significantly cheaper. For instance, the city police station Imaginate block set can be purchased for £14.99, while a similar LEGO set will cost £59.99.
