As a lifelong Lego fan, I can wholeheartedly confirm that you can never have too many Legos. That being said, the cost can add up if you lead with your heart and not your bank statement.
So, I’ve made it my mission to track down the most affordable Lego sets on the market right now. Stores like Target, Walmart, and Amazon are replete with an eclectic array of builds from seasonally appropriate critters to gorgeous botanicals that act as verdant home décor. Keep scrolling to shop some of my favorite under-$10 picks.

Creator 3-in-1 Surprising Spider
Amazon
Alongside festive wreaths, a seasonally inspired Lego set is a creative way to spread Halloween spirit throughout your home. This popular set, which has been purchased more than 10,000 times in the past 30 days, provides ample entertainment as it transforms into three creepy crawlers: a spider, snake, or scorpion. Each build includes posable limbs, which one customer praised as it “adds a nice touch for imaginative play.” Parents appreciate that the build allows for multi-use play and that children as young as 4 years old need minimal help during assembly.
Harry Potter Quidditch Practice
Walmart
Apart from watching the films and rereading the books, another way to relive the magic of Harry Potter is by recreating iconic scenes via Lego builds. The quidditch pitch at Hogwarts is especially legendary with its rotating platforms adorned in house colors, Golden Snitch, and minifigure of character Cho Chang on her broom. There’s only 55 pieces in total, so it makes for a speedy construction. “It’s compact so you can just slip it in a small backpack pocket,” shared a pleased customer.
Daffodils
Amazon
These vibrant daffodils are the perfect way to arrange a bouquet for your home that’ll never wilt or die. The set includes four yellow and white flowers connected to green stems with adjustable leaves. My favorite ways to display these blooms are either in a glass vase or nestled into the soil of one of my house plants. One over-the-moon shopper poetically mused, “The daffodils have brought fresh energy, like an enthusiastic aunt at a village fête with a lemon drizzle cake and a raffle ticket.”
