Everybody enjoys assembling a bit of Lego, but did you know that the legendary toy brand also caters to gamers? There are a good number of sets based on iconic video game franchises nestled among the company’s other offerings, including licensed products based on Sonic and Super Mario.

You can even find intricate recreations of popular retro consoles (like the Nintendo Entertainment System) aimed towards a more adult audience. Whether you’re shopping for a treat for yourself or for gifts to give younger fans over the holiday season, now is a perfect time to secure discounts on gaming Lego sets as part of the ongoing Black Friday gaming deals at a wide range of major retailers.

To save you the trouble of trawling through endless listings, I have embarked on the noble quest to seek out the very best discounts on all things gaming Lego that are available right now. While Lego model sets are traditionally very expensive, these savings can help bring those lofty prices down to more affordable levels. I have endeavored to include a fairly broad selection of themes here, so if you’re a fan of one particular line, like Lego Super Mario, then it may be worth taking a moment to explore some of the smaller discounts available on some of the line’s other sets at the retailers linked.

Lego Super Mario Adventures with Luigi Starter Course: was $59.99 now $47.99 at Walmart
Save $12 - This Lego Super Mario set is quite unusual in that it contains a high-tech electronic version of Luigi rather than a standard minifigure.

As a small Starter Course, this is best paired with an Expansion Set for even more interactivity.
