We Scoped Out the Best Prime Day Lego Deals on Amazon

The only real issue with a Lego habit is that it gets expensive fast, no matter if you are trying to recreate the entirety of Middle Earth with supersized Lord of the Rings sets, or kitting out your model Formula 1 racing team at home. But Amazon is running some pre-Prime Day deals right now, so you can snag popular Lego sets for up to 30 percent off.

At under 700 pieces, the McClaren MP4/4 is a replica of the real deal with a moving steering wheel and rod suspension. We love that it's got every detail that makes this car so special like the slick tires, the V6 engine, and an adjustable rear wing.

If there's one thing I've learned in my years of scoping out LEGO deals, it's this: the bigger the set, the smaller the discount. Detailed sets that are $100+ at full price are worth grabbing whenever you see them for over 10 percent off, like this Back to the Future set that often sells out. But you can hold off buying smaller sets until you see them for at least 20 percent off, like this mini Millennium Falcon.

We're optimistic that prices will drop more once Prime Day goes into full swing July 8-11. But if you can't wait until then, these prices are in line with what we typically see in the lead-up to shopping events, especially for the larger sets.
