Parents, listen up: If there's only one thing you grab during the Amazon October Prime Day mega sale, you're gonna want to make it these coveted LEGO Advent calendars. While there are tons of other viral LEGO sets and included in the sale, too, they'll love the added excitement of getting to open a different collectible mini-figure (or mini-build) each day with an Advent calendar.

Both the LEGO Friends Advent Calendar (was $33, now $26) and the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar (was $45, now $36) are recommended for kids age six and up, but I have a feeling the whole family will want to take take part in the fun. The only bad news? Prime Big Deal Days ends tonight, Oct. 9, so I suggest getting them in your cart ASAP to score the savings.

The LEGO Friends Advent calendar comes with festive characters and accessories that can go together—think a cookie baking setup, snow catapult, holiday letter station and more. Considering the calendar's under-$30 price tag, plus the fact that it includes limited-edition pieces (including an entire mini-figure family and their pets), I have a feeling this won't be around for long. So if you're eyeing it, act fast.

If your family's made up of big Star Wars fans, don't hesitate to grab this version of the buildable Advent calendar while you still can. In this fun gift, you can expect to find surprises like mini-figures and vehicles, ranging from the 1999 movies up to 2024 (such as  Luke Skywalker’s landspeeder and the Mandalorian's Gauntlet). The mini-builds are substantial enough to enjoy on their own or they can be paired with other LEGO Star Wars sets if you really want to up the fun.
