The LEGO Early Black Friday 2018 shopping event is now live on LEGO Shop@Home. From now until the end of Sunday, VIPs can earn double points on every purchase.

The offers also stack with the LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289) so that’s good because LEGO usually doesn’t stack three good offers at the same time.
