This popular large chain offers a lot more than rotisserie chickens and larger-than-life flat screen TVs. The toy section is usually located near the center of the store and changes frequently throughout the year, adding more as seasonal items begin to fill the aisles.
Costco never disappoints with its wide variety of toys, from play kitchens to stuffed animals to rare Lego sets. When you visit our store, don’t miss our book table. With the busy holiday season approaching, now is the ideal time to explore all the services our club has to offer and get even more savings and convenience from your membership when you need it most. Do you need a membership? Don’t worry, we’ll even help you save on one.

Get even better deals on Lego at Costco
Costco is the best place to save on the most popular LEGO building sets. The retailer currently has several sets available in stores and online. If you buy online, most sets are sold in bundles of two or more, which can save you real money. However, if you purchase in-store, you can purchase the sets individually. Let me show you a few different scenarios.
lego talking sorting hat
Once assembled, this interactive hat comes to life with a moving mouth and 31 different sounds. The Sorting Hat contains 561 pieces and would make a magical gift for any Harry Potter fan. You can buy them individually for less than other popular LEGO retailers, both online and in-store.

Lego chrysanthemum, plum, and cherry blossom set
These stunning flower construction sets are part of the LEGO Botanical Collection. Colorful buds and flowers in flowerpots not only make the perfect gift, but also serve as maintenance-free floral decorations. The Chrysanthemum and Plum set is a bundle deal online, but you can also purchase it individually at our warehouse.
Individual set price at Costco store: $21.99
Discrete set of competing retailers: $29.95 on Amazon

LEGO Poinsettia and Christmas Tree Bundle
Lego’s seasonal limited sets have arrived, and given the popularity of last year’s Christmas trees, we’re sure they’ll sell out quickly. New this year is the gorgeous and easy-to-make poinsettia. It would be fun to make together as a family and display them during the holiday season. These two holiday sets are sold as a bundle online, but only the poinsettia set was available in stores.
