Labor Day: Lego Star Wars, Minecraft, Mario, more on sale at Walmart

This year, for Labor Day sales, we’re noticing that Walmart has a smaller selection of items for sale than on a typical holiday, but many of them are of exceptional high quality and on fun sets with quirky ideas. Here are the deals to check out from Walmart’s Labor Day Lego sale.
