If you have a Buzz Lightyear fan at home, this Lego deal for Black Friday just might send them to infinity (and maybe beyond).
You can save up to 40% on the XL-15 Spaceship from Lego.com, but note that the product is backordered, so it won't ship for 60 days. If this is a Christmas gift, fear not - you can still get it quicker for 38% off at Amazon.
The Lego XL-15 Spaceship is a Disney/Pixar set that includes all the pieces you need to build Buzz Lightyear's spaceship, as well as four minifigures (the Space Team and their robot cat Sox) and two weapons (a rocket launcher and a harpoon gun). In our review of the Lego XL-15 Spaceship, we loved the set's sleek look, display stand and its faithfulness to the film (plus Sox, the cat!).
We featured it in our best Lego space sets guide and rated it 4.5 stars - even at full price, it's great value for money! It's suitable for children 8 years and older, so it's a great gift for the space fans in your family.
This Lego set has never been cheaper at Amazon, so we'd recommend jumping on this hot deal if you were looking to buy it as a gift. That said, it's worth mentioning that the discount is slightly better on the Lego website, and buying it from there means you can collect loyalty points if you join the free Lego Insiders rewards program. So if you're not in a rush to receive it and don't mind the 60+ days wait time, head to Lego direct to get the set for under $30.

When we reviewed the Lego XL-15 Spaceship, we were really impressed by the value you can get from this set, even at full price. Once the 497-piece build is done, you get a solidly-constructed spaceship that you can display on the stand included, or play with.
It comes with three character minifigs and their helmets (Darby Steel, Mo Morrison, and Buzz Lightyear), their robot cat named Sox, two weapons, a laptop and a fuel cell. It's even built with a cockpit that opens up so Buzz Lightyear can ride his spaceship.
Key Specs: 497 pieces, 4 minifigs, 2 weapons. Suitable for ages 8+.
Consensus: This fun Lego set comes with character figures and is easy to play with once the build is done. At around $30, we think it's a great gift for the Lego lovers around you!
Buy if: You're looking for a gift that a child will have fun playing with for hours after they've built it.
Don't buy if: You're shopping for an adult or kid younger than 8-years old.
