The festive season is creeping up, and if you’re looking to do some early shopping for a thoughtful gift, then Lego is always a good idea. Universally adored and suitable for almost any age, one imaginative set that you can buy this week is a celebration of childhood secret bases. That’s right, the humble treehouse has been given a Lego makeover, and this particular set has been discounted from its usual price of $250 to just $175.
This will probably appeal to older Lego fans in your household, as this is a nostalgic celebration of high-rise timber from the Lego Ideas line. Inside the box, you’ll find 3,036 pieces that can be used to construct a treehouse, and this attention-grabbing set has a few extra details as well. The plant and leaf elements are made from plant-based plastic, you can swap between autumn and summer foliage, and the cabins are packed with a wide range of extras.
The main bedroom cabin features a buildable bed and a hidden pair of scissors–a reference to the fan creator’s day job as a hairdresser–a ship in a bottle, compass, clock, and a balcony. Additionally, there’s a wind-up crane that can be constructed, the cabin rooftops detach easily, and the landscape base can be populated with a picnic table, swing, and bonfire. For the mini-figures, you get a full family of four and a bird figure that can be placed in the treehouse.
For a few more toy ideas, several pieces of high-end Star Wars merchandise are still on sale at Amazon. Just in time for Halloween, you can grab Star Wars Stormtrooper helmets at a sizable discount.
