There were many, many years when a Christmas without LEGO would’ve been unthinkable in our house. Truth be told, I kind of miss it. (I don’t miss stepping on pieces, though. Just the excitement part.)

I’ve got a couple of LEGO deal options for you today: First, there’s all kinds of deals on LEGO happening today at Toys ‘R’ Us online (meaning you don’t have to go to the store on Black Friday, praise the heavens above), and it looks like in addition to free shipping on $29+ there, all LEGO construction sets are shipping for free.

However, you may be able to do even better than those deals—it turns out that Toys ‘R’ Us is also a Rakuten seller, and although they’re offering the same prices over there, Rakuten also has coupon code BF20 for an additional 20% off there, today. The one catch is that I can’t seem to figure out what gets you free shipping on the Rakuten sets. Some of the pricier ones seem to ship for free, sometimes putting three in your cart gets you free shipping… it’s hard to tell, is all. So look around at both sites and see where you can get the better deal.

Also, may I then suggest a pair of slipper with a study sole? You’ll thank me later.
