Lego has launched its highly anticipated Black Friday promotion, featuring significant discounts on some of its most popular sets including retiring McLaren Formula 1 models and beloved Star Wars collections. The sale offers savings of up to £72 on selected items, making it the perfect opportunity for Christmas shopping.
Star Deals in the Lego Black Friday Sale
The standout offer in this year's Lego Black Friday event is the McLaren Formula 1 Race Car, now available at £169.99 instead of its original £199.99 price tag. This represents a substantial 25% discount for general customers. However, Lego Insiders members can secure an even better deal at just £127.49.
This impressive Technic set was developed in direct partnership with McLaren to ensure complete accuracy. Measuring 65cm in length, it features authentic branding and intricate details including a V6 engine with moving pistons, functional steering, suspension system, and differential components. Lego has confirmed that this product is being discontinued soon, making this potentially the final chance to purchase it.
Star Wars and Star Trek Collections
Science fiction enthusiasts have plenty to celebrate with the Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter now reduced to £149.99 from £146.99. This adult-oriented set contains 1,953 pieces and includes mini-figurines of Luke Skywalker and R2-D2. The model boasts updated wing and engine designs along with a completely new cockpit.
For Star Trek fans, the massive U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D set is available for £349.99. This colossal build consists of 3,600 pieces and features Starfleet's iconic flagship with a detachable command saucer, secondary hull, shuttlebay, two mini shuttlepods, and the famous warp nacelles. The set includes nine minifigures featuring Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his crew, plus a display stand.
Advent Calendars and Special Offers
Shoppers looking for Christmas countdown options can take advantage of discounted advent calendars. Both the Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar and the Lego Harry Potter Advent Calendar are now priced at £20.99, reduced from £29.99. Each calendar contains 10 mini builds, six buildable figures, and eight mini-figurines from their respective franchises.
The Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory set is another highlight, currently available for £199.99.

Customer reviews highlight the popularity of these sets. One McLaren Formula 1 buyer commented: "I really enjoyed the build, the push rod suspension was really well implemented. Being a huge F1 fan this was a must - the end product looks awesome."
Another customer purchasing the Willy Wonka set remarked: "I absolutely love this set. It is such a staple moment in the film, so to have it brought to life by Lego is amazing. I am a sucker for small details and Easter eggs."
The Lego Black Friday sale represents an excellent opportunity to secure premium sets at reduced prices, particularly with the McLaren F1 model facing imminent retirement. Customers can register for the Lego Insiders scheme to access additional member benefits, reward points, and priority access to selected collections.
