Some Animal Crossing Lego sets are cheaper than ever

I don’t know about you, but I’ve gotten back into Animal Crossing: New Horizons in a pretty big way since the Switch 2 arrived. I’ve started a new island (the game loads faster and runs better on that console), and I’ve been doing house chores to the relaxing music. The natural progression of my invigorated fandom will likely lead me to buy Lego’s Animal Crossing-themed sets — and what great timing, as some of them are discounted.

You can build some of the most iconic landmarks from your island, brick by brick. The one with the most notable price cut is a diorama of a K.K. Slider concert in the plaza, which is my favorite of the lineup. This set comes with K.K.’s music equipment, his stylish camper van, plus numerous trappings from the plaza, including a cart full of treats, an autumnal tree, some minifigures of notable residents, and the facade of Resident Services where you can complain about your neighbors in-game. This 550-piece set typically sells for around $50 (originally $80), but you can snag it at Amazon for $41.98.

Some more deal recs for today

• Motorola’s Edge from 2024 is probably the best-looking phone you can get for $249.99. That’s how much the 256GB version in midnight blue costs today only at Best Buy, where it originally sells for $549.99. The device is slim, with a 6.6-inch “waterfall” style OLED display (with a fast 144Hz refresh rate) that curves slightly along the left and right sides. The Edge is unlocked, and can be activated on any major US carrier or MVNO.
• Apple’s 2024 13.6-inch MacBook Air with the M3 processor, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage is cheaper than ever at Amazon and Best Buy. This configuration hasn’t previously sold for less than $999, but today you can grab one for $899. For context, a similar model with 256GB of storage costs $799 at B&H Photo, so this deal makes it somewhat affordable to double the internal storage.
