Lego Rivendell, my all-time favorite set, is still at its lowest ever price

Now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are in our rear-view mirror, this offer has unfortunately come to an end - Rivendell is back up to full price. With any luck, we'll be able to get it for less before too long... Original story follows.

I've been lucky enough to review a lot of kits over the years, but few have ever impressed me more than Lego Rivendell. It's just... well, I mean, look at it. 

All that means I tend to take notice of any deals on the kit. And luckily, the Black Friday offer that knocked Lego Rivendell down to its lowest ever price is still kicking around this Cyber Monday.  So long as you don't wait for too long (because it's been live for a few days, I imagine its time is short), you can pick up the set for £389.98 at Amazon instead of almost £430

OK, so this isn't a huge reduction of the face of it. But that's still the cheapest Lego Rivendell has ever been. As such, it's a contender for our list of the best Cyber Monday Lego deals.

Considering how this is one of the few kits I'd say is borderline perfect, it's definitely worth a look.

Save £40 - We've never seen this sprawling kit this cheap; before now, it didn't really dip below £415. And seeing as it has a Black Friday label, I doubt it'll fall any further before the sale is done.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure that I've ever seen or built a cooler kit. Besides being a dream for fans of the franchise, it's crammed with detail in the model and instruction book. Everywhere you look, there's something new to see. 

Sure, it'll take you a long time to build. It needs a lot of space to display, too. But it's an immensely satisfying process, and as my Lego Rivendell review pointed out, it's comfortably one of the best Lego sets overall.
