If you’re waiting until after Thanksgiving to start shopping the hottest Black Friday deals, you’re already behind. Tons of retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and more already competing with each other to give you the best prices. Even LEGO is joining in — which is great news for anyone who loves to relax through play. This weekend kicks off LEGO’s Insiders weekend sale event. Lego is offering major savings off of Disney, Star Wars and Marvel themed sets, as well as other awesome sets that will provide a challenge and creative outlet.
Along with discounts on sets and toys, you can also score free LEGO items with purchase. And even better, you can earn double the amount of points than normal. With every $100 you spend, you get 1,300 points, that’s equal to $10. Members can also enjoy select rewards for only 100 points as well. It’s the perfect time to start on your holiday shopping list as these discounts are hard to beat.
To help you find the best offers, our CNET team of dedicated shopping experts has been putting in hundreds of hours each week sifting through pages and pages of early Black Friday deals. We focus on trusted brands and products we’ve reviewed to help ensure your hard-earned money goes a little farther this year.

When is the Black Friday sale?
Most retailers haven’t officially set dates for their Black Friday sales this year. However in the past, most sales kick off approximately a week before Black Friday. Black Friday is on Nov. 29 this year, so if the same pattern is followed, the sale should start around Nov. 22. But there are already tons of early deals you can start shopping now.
The savings will continue well after Nov. 29, too. The Black Friday sale takes us right into Cyber Week beginning on Cyber Monday, Dec. 2. You’re likely to see many of the same discounts continuing through Cyber Week and even some brand-new offers. However, there is no guarantee that deals live on Black Friday will still be available during Cyber Week. So if you see something you like, don’t wait.
Do I need to be a LEGO Insider member for the discounts?
Yes. In order to be eligible for almost all the discounts during LEGO’s Insider sale, you must be a member. A lot of the offers, such as extra points, are only for members as well. Good news is it is free to sign up for a LEGO Insider membership. And if you’re still not convinced, you can find some LEGO discounts for Black Friday at a different retailer like Amazon or Target, but keep in mind they won’t top these offers.
