What were the best Prime Day toy deals in the UK last year?

Last year some of the best Prime Day toy deals and discounts were to be found on Lego toys. Amazon Prime customers could get over 40% off Lego toys including LEGO City Airport (£89.99), LEGO Star Wars sets, and Disney Frozen II Lego and Duplo toys.

Amazon has also revealed that some of the bestselling products during their Prime Day sale last year were games and puzzles. This is no surprise considering the site was offering up to 40% off Hasbro Games like Monopoly.  The most popular toys were family-friendly games to keep everyone entertained during lockdown. These included Jenga (£14.87), Monopoly (£18.99) and Guess Who (£13.10). Keep a look out for similar great deals in the toys, games, and puzzles Prime Day toy deals category this year.

Other big-name brands that slashed their prices across Amazon for the Prime Day toy sale included Nerf, Playmobil, BRIO, Hot Wheels, and more. We spotted deals of up to 30% Off Nerf toys including Nerf Fortnite, 35% off Barbie and Polly Pocket play sets, and up to 30% off Playmobil, BRIO, and Hot Wheels vehicle toys.
