The Danish brick brand has something for every interest (The Independent)

Lego has had something of a renaissance over the past few years, with the Danish brick company expanding its collections to have something for every age, ability and interest.

From its Technic car range that’s perfect for petrolheads to its galaxy explorer spaceship, Harry Potter sets, “beatifically realistic” flower bouquet and advent calendar range, there’s a build for every type of Lego fan.

But given the intricacy of many of the sets, they can often be pricey. Which means it was music to our ears when the brick brand launched a stellar sale with up to 40 per cent off selected products.

In the sale, you’ll find savings on Mario sets, “hard to find” products and smaller builds that are ideal for entertaining little ones.

Whether you’re after a complex construction to engage the entire family or a birthday present for budding young builders, here are our top picks from the chock-a-block Lego sale.

From hairdresser Jonathan’s swivelling salon chair to culture expert Karamo’s couch and a clothing rack for fashion designer Tan, the TV-inspired set is perfect for bingers of the cult show – and now, you can save 40 per cent too.
