OK, there are no Lego deals for International Lego Day, but I've found some savings on awesome Lego alternatives
These are the top deals that I've found to mark the occasion, but they're not official Lego sets, as Mattel's Mega Bloks brand steps up instead.
Today officially marks International Lego Day, celebrating the almost 70-year anniversary of when Lego first patented its LEGO bricks design in 1958. Lego has since become a global phenomenon, and some of the best Lego sets for adults tie in with popular culture trends, and have evolved far beyond the category of toys, now acting as profound works of art and even home decor.
We're big fans of Lego at Creative Bloq, although I am surprised that there's not more hype around International Lego Day, and from an e-commerce perspective, I haven't been able to find so much as a single promotional offer or sale to celebrate the occasion. What's up with that?
All is not lost, however, as Mattel's own Lego alternative brand, Mega Bloks, has some generous discounts over at Amazon right now, and I've rounded up some of the best sets for you below, including several that I own like the Pokémon Snorlax set. For some more Lego inspiration take a look at these 40 impressive Lego Art designs celebrating the Lego legacy ( or should we say Lego-cy).
