The era of basic advent calendars with a picture or a small chocolate behind each door is long gone. Nowadays, there are numerous exciting ways to count down to Christmas, ranging from beauty essentials to beer, tea to toys. LEGO’s advent calendars are always a popular choice each year, but they often come with high price tags. This year, the renowned toy brand has unveiled Star Wars, Harry Potter, LEGO Spider-Man, and LEGO Disney-themed calendars, along with traditional LEGO Friends and LEGO City versions. These festive countdowns can be priced up to £30. However, smart shoppers have found a way to purchase these calendars for as little as 20p by combining an Argos pre-Black Friday deal with a limited time offer from the popular bargains website TopCashback.
The LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, initially priced at £30 on Argos, has been reduced by 20% to £24. With TopCashback offering new members a £15 sign-up bonus and extra cashback for shopping from Argos, new customers can grab the calendar for £7.80, while existing customers can get it for £8.80. This year’s calendar includes Star Wars vehicles and six limited edition collectible mini figures, featuring Christmas-themed characters such as Luke Skywalker in a Christmas jumper, Ahsoka, Princess Leia, a battle droid, a Stormtrooper, and one of the evil Emperor’s private guards. There are also 18 different mini-builds to complete each day, including an X-Wing, AT-AT, Jabba’s Barge, and more.
The space-themed calendar is one of six LEGO calendars currently available, which could be purchased with the discount. The LEGO Friends and LEGO City versions, originally priced at £20, have been reduced to £16, meaning new Argos customers can snag them for just 20p, while existing customers can get them for 87p. For those not into LEGO, the deal can also be used to purchase other items such as a cute Bluey advent calendar for £4 for new shoppers or £4.83 for existing ones, or a Disney charm bracelet jewellery calendar for just under £15 after cashback. Alternatively, for those who are already TopCashback members or prefer not to sign up for membership, Amazon has reduced the cost of the LEGO Star Wars calendar to £19.99 in one of their early Black Friday deals.
To claim the new member bonus and cashback for the advent calendar, new members of TopCashback need to sign up via the provided link, search for Argos, click ‘Get Cashback Now’, shop and checkout as usual. The cashback will then track and appear in the TopCashback account within 7 working days of the purchase. TopCashback has an average 4.5 out of 5-star rating on Trustpilot, with most customers praising the service. However, some have reported issues with tracking and receiving their cashback, as well as occasional delays in receiving funds from merchants. For those facing such issues, TopCashback recommends visiting their help page to ensure purchases track accurately.
