Amazon launched its early Black Friday sale running through October 31 and bringing discounts across tech gadgets and popular Lego construction kits well ahead of the traditional holiday shopping rush.
Amazon Launches Early Black Friday Lego Discounts
Shoppers looking to get a head start on holiday gift shopping can find early Black Friday Lego deals with discounts. Availability and pricing remain subject to change before the October 31 sale window closes, and popular items face a history of vanishing quickly from stock.
The seasonal set features characters such as Moana, Cinderella, and Mulan. For adult builders and holiday decorators, the festive Lego Icons Poinsettia is available for $42.99 down from $49.99, measuring approximately eight inches in height and width and 6.5 inches deep.
Hardware Discounts Contrast Rising Storage Prices
Analysts point out that external storage prices have climbed steadily as artificial intelligence data centers absorb available memory chip supplies, making the reduced price a notable exception. The Seagate 2TB External HDD is listed at R1,200, reflecting a 52% discount.
On the technology side, Amazon’s early sale event features markdowns on hardware that techeditors and reviewers have tracked over previous months.
Portable displays and computing options also see price cuts during the promotional window. The Packard Bell Silverstone T18 tablet, featuring an 11-inch display and a 7,000mAh battery, is marked down to R2,500 from its previously reviewed price of R4,300. Meanwhile, the Asus ZenScreen MB169CK portable USB monitor is available for R1,425, representing a 40% reduction.
