From Lego Star Wars to a haunted mansion, it's a great time to stock up on Lego sets at a discount.

Oct. 6 is the first day of Amazon’s Big Deal Days sale. We’re looking forward to dramatic discounts on everything from Apple products to bargains under $50. With Black Friday looming as the next big shopping event, the October sale brings a great opportunity to get a jumpstart on holiday shopping. But that doesn’t mean you have to wait until October to save.

In fact, you can grab a ton of Lego sets at significant discounts right now, so if you’ve got a Brickhead in your household, now is an excellent time to pick them up ahead of the gift-shopping frenzy.

What could be better than a beautiful butterfly orchid that doesn’t die when you go on vacation? And this Lego orchid has some hidden pieces — for example, minifigure shields and dinosaur tails are used to make up the sepals and roots. It stands about 15 inches tall, making it ideal for sitting on a table or desk. 

Everybody’s favorite astromech in brick form, this 1,050-piece set has a 360-degree rotating head, a detachable third leg and other cool attachments. Plus, you get a 25th anniversary Darth Malak minifig. 

When I was a kid, this was the only form Lego bricks came in: a menagerie of pieces (and no instructions), so you just had to get extra creative making that car or house or spaceship. At just barely over $20, this kit is great for pure creativity or for add-ons to existing sets.
