A LEGO enthusiast's latest search for deals at Walmart turned up big savings on fan-favorite sets.

Shopping expert Angel Madison spotted popular sets on sale for up to 62 percent off.

Some, including a personal favorite of Madison's, were down to as little as $5.

'I've done the work of scouring the Walmart website for deals at all price ranges, so you can grab a birthday gift or treat yourself in a major way,' she wrote for Country Living.
'If you are a truly last-minute shopper (like me) and even two-day shipping is too long, you can order most of these online, and pick it up at a store near you without leaving the car.'

In-store, Madison follows a simple rule of thumb for LEGO sales: Aim for over 20 percent off on small to mid-size sets under $100, and look for 10 percent or more off on larger sets.

'LEGO sets are typically priced based on how many bricks are in the set, and for me, this over $30 and under $100 range is the sweet spot,' she explained.
'They are easy enough to build in a night, while still making an impressive addition to any book shelf.'

Most of Madison's must-have LEGO toys are on sale at Walmart for 10 to 36 percent off.

The 62 percent off star of Madison's list is the Botanicals Field Flowers.

'I love dandelions, and currently have four of these in a bouquet because I buy them whenever I see them under $10,' she revealed.

Customers looking for a more adult botanical set may also be interested in the plum blossom, a popular pick available for $24.

'Right now they are $5, and can be assembled in just a few minutes. I've already added another set to my cart.'

She also praised the Peppa Pig DUPLO set, the $24 item suitable for children ages two and up that can float.

While Madison did not reveal if she owns the Peppa Pig product, she proudly showed off two other favorites: the Disney and Pixar Up House and the Moana 2 HeiHei, which start at $38 and $32 respectively.

'The Up house proudly sits by my desk, and looks so fun with the colorful balloons on top,' she wrote, adding that the Moana HeiHei was 'a blast to assemble.'

LEGO fans who aren't interested in Disney films can also purchase the Wicked Elphaba and Glinda duo, which costs $44 now that it's 20 percent off.

  • Lilo & Stitch beach house set $59 (was $99.99)
  • Shop Star Wars dark falcon $145 (was $180)
  • Shop Artificial wildflower bouquet $47.98 (was $60)
  • Shop Porsche 911 RSR $170.95 (-$19.02)

Besides the simple products, Madison revealed the must-have products that are worth looking at.

'The hard-to-find Back to the Future DeLorean is on sale, and it is one that I've seen sell out before,' she revealed.

She also praised the Harry Potter castle set, which costs $141 when its 17 percent discount is applied.

Out of all the products Madison has mentioned, the $180 A-Frame Cabin is her dream come true set, with 'charming details' like trees and animals.

If Walmart sells out, shoppers can still find these sets at LEGO stores and Amazon.

While LEGO has survived its 2025 price hikes, Hasbro could be in trouble now that it plans to raise product prices from August through October.
