Black Friday is the best time to score some really great deals on themed LEGOs, and each year there's a new set that hadn't been discounted before. This year it's the LEGO Ideas The Insect Collection 21342, which is down to just $40 after a 50% discount. At a mere 3.6 cents per brick, this is one of the best values I've seen for a set. It's also refreshingly unique, fun to build, and looks great to boot, so long as you don't have a bug phobia.
50% Off the LEGO Ideas The Insect Collection 21342
The LEGO Ideas The Insect Collection 21342 is a collection of three separate builds comprised of 1,111 brick pieces in total. Each build is modeled after a real insect: the blue morpho butterfly, Hercules beetle, and Chinese praying mantis. They're all roughly the same size, with the mantis measuring 7 inches high, 6.5 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. These are fairly large, lifelike models and you'll definitely feel like you're getting your money's worth.
Each bug build is poseable and includes additional elements like leaves and branches, flowers, mushrooms, and even a buildable honeybee. LEGO collectors will also be delighted to know that there are some unique printed pieces, like the 7-spotted ladybug. There are no stickers in this set, and there's plenty of variety and color, making it a perfect example of what a LEGO "Ideas" set should be. It's also one of the best $40 sets I've seen.
