Here's a great Cyber Monday deal on a LEGO set that was not discounted during Black Friday. Best Buy is currently offering the LEGO Ideas Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas 21351 for $149.99 after a 25% off discount (originally $200). This is actually a rather substantial Disney-themed build, featuring a total of 2,183 bricks and intended for ages 18 and up. Unliked set with a large singular model, this one is broken into three smaller sets that come together to create a charmingly spooky diorama. At 6.8 cents per brick, this deal represents a great value for a themed set.
LEGO Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Nightmare Before Christmas 21351 is a large diorama that's split up into three different locations. The three main set pieces are Spiral Hill (with a really great full moon backdrop), the Halloween Town Hall, and Jack Skellington's house. All of these places are chock full of adorable nods to the movie, like the walking bathtub, a chalkboard in Jack's house with his Christmas formula, and a lectern where Jack gave his speech about Christmas. There's also great use of interspersed color to break up what should be a monotonous gray and black build (the Star Wars sets should take notes). A total of eight figures are included as well: Jack Skellington, Sally, Santa Clause, Lock, Shock and Barrel minifigures, plus Zero the dog and a brick-built The Mayor figure with 2 faces.
Currently this looks like a Best Buy exclusive Cyber Monday deal because the set still retails for $199.99 everywhere else, including the official LEGO Shop. Best Buy's popular LEGO sets go out of stock very quickly, and I'd hate to see this one go before you can jump on it. This is such an uncommon set to go on sale that I don't know if we'll ever see it again.
Another Great Interactive LEGO Set for Adults
This popular LEGO Creator set rarely goes on sale as well. LEGO Shop is offering the LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery 10283 set for $159.99, or a savings of 20%. You'll need to be a LEGO Insiders member, but signing up is free. This impressive set consists of 2,354 bricks, which averages out to about 6.7 cents per brick. As its namesake suggests, this is a replica of the Space Shuttle Discovery, with a center compartment that opens up and houses a separate Hubble telescope, which can be deployed with a robot arm. It looks amazing as a display, but it's also very interactive.

Will the Deals Change for Cyber Monday?
In my experience, many of the same deals we saw on Black Friday will return for Cyber Monday 2024, including deals that were sold out or expired. Retailers usually release their hottest selling items in batches so that every sale event has at least some inventory reserved. That said, I also expect plenty of new, never before seen deals. Traditionally, Black Friday was known as the "retail holiday," where the best deals were found in-store, and Cyber Monday was known as the "online holiday," where the best deals were online only. Although today the lines have blurred, it is still true that many online only retailers still consider Cyber Monday the sale event of the year instead of Black Friday. Expect some amazing sales to come out of online-only sites like Amazon, Newegg, Dell, HP, Lenovo and several online-only deals from traditional retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. In fact, Amazon has taken the preemptive and already switched over to Cyber Monday.
