As far as Black Friday Deals, we don’t have any information on them yet, but if it goes like previous years, we should get freebies, sales, extra points, etc., and LEGO Insiders should have early access to these deals about a week prior. We will discuss them as soon as they are announced.

This is a great time to browse the Online LEGO Shop for holiday purchases as we have gotten so many great sets this year and most of them are still in stock. As we get closer to the end of November/ beginning of December, some shortages of the most popular sets as well as Christmas-themes sets should be expected. The early bird gets the worm!
