Today's Verified Deals: Bambu Lab's Black Friday 3D Printers From $199.99, and Apple's AirTag 2 at a Record-Low $23

Checked live on the retailers' own pages overnight: Bambu Lab's Black Friday sale — already live — drops the A1 Mini to $199.99, the dual-nozzle X2D AMS Combo to $789.99 and the flagship H2C AMS Combo to $1,899.99, while Best Buy matches the weekend's headline tracker deal with AirTag 2 at $23 for one and $89 for four. Woot's laptop event is deliberately not repeated here: those laptops were already featured in ThingDaily's October 26 deals roundup.

  • The headline sale, verified on Bambu Lab's own store and at Best Buy: Bambu Lab's Black Friday sale runs October 27 at 8:00 AM ET to December 1 at 2:00 AM ET, with free shipping and a 2-year warranty on printers at the US store. The A1 Mini is $199.99 at Best Buy ($199.00 at Bambu's own store) against $219.99, and every model below shows an Add to Cart button at both retailers.
  • The biggest cash saving: the H2C AMS Combo at $1,899.99, $300 under its $2,199.99 comparison value — the largest dollar cut in today's set.
  • The tracker deal, now verified without Amazon: Best Buy's own product pages list AirTag 2 (2nd generation, 2026) at $23.00 for one ($29.00 comparison value) and $89.00 for four ($99.00) — the same record-low prices reported over the weekend, confirmed here on a retailer page that could actually be checked.
  • No fake sales here: every "regular price" below is the comparison/typical price shown on the retailer's own listing — Best Buy's Comp. Value and Bambu Lab's Typical Price agree within $1 on every printer.
  • What is not repeated: Woot's "Big Deals on Laptops" event (code TENOFFLAPTOP, valid through October 28 at 11:58 PM CT, event ending October 29 at 12:00 AM CT) was re-checked live, but its headline laptops were already featured in ThingDaily's October 26 deals article, so they are not listed again here.

3D printers — Bambu Lab's Black Friday sale is live, a month early

Bambu Lab's own US store Black Friday page states the sale runs from October 27 at 8:00 AM ET to December 1 at 2:00 AM ET, with free shipping and a 2-year warranty on 3D printers. Its listed prices are $1 lower than Best Buy's on every model below ($199.00, $359.00, $519.00, $649.00, $789.00 and $1,899.00, against typical prices of $219.00, $399.00, $569.00, $749.00, $899.00 and $2,199.00). Best Buy's pages, reached through the October 27 9to5Toys roundup, show the $.99 prices in the table, with Add to Cart enabled on all six models and no sold-out flag on any of them. Either retailer gives the same deal within $1; the table uses Best Buy's prices because those pages also carry the comparison values.

A1 Mini — $199.99. The entry point, and the cheapest way into Bambu Lab's lineup. Who should buy: first-time printer buyers and gift buyers who want a low-cost start. Who should skip: buyers who need a large build volume or multi-colour printing out of the box — the A1 Combo, below, adds the AMS unit.

A1 Combo — $359.99, and A2L Combo — $519.99. The Combo bundles add multi-material capability, and the A2L is the larger-format option in this sale. Who should buy: buyers who already know they want multi-colour prints, or a bigger build area than the Mini offers. Who should skip: anyone who has never printed before and is unsure the hobby will stick — start with the Mini at $199.99.

P2S AMS Combo — $649.99. The workhorse of the range, $100 under its $749.99 comparison value. Who should buy: regular makers who want a reliable multi-colour machine without stepping up to the dual-nozzle flagships. Who should skip: buyers chasing the newest dual-nozzle hardware — that is the X2D, below.

X2D AMS Combo — $789.99. Bambu Lab's dual-nozzle model, with a 256 × 256 × 256 mm build volume, a closed enclosure, closed-loop servo extrusion and AI filament-path detection, per 9to5Toys' summary of its features. This is the first deal tracked on this fairly new model, which launched at $899.99. Who should buy: buyers who want dual-nozzle printing — for support material, for example — in a closed machine. Who should skip: buyers on a strict budget — the P2S AMS Combo does multi-colour printing for $140 less.

H2C AMS Combo — $1,899.99. The flagship-class multi-material machine, $300 under its $2,199.99 comparison value — the largest dollar saving in today's set. Who should buy: serious makers and small workshops that will actually use its multi-material and nozzle-changing capability. Who should skip: everyone else — $1,899.99 is a workshop purchase, not a first-printer price, however large the discount looks.

Trackers — AirTag 2 at $23, verified at Best Buy

Best Buy's own product page for the Apple AirTag 1-pack (2nd generation, 2026, model MFE94LL/A) lists $23.00 as a Top Deal, saving $6 against a $29.00 comparison value, with Add to Cart enabled. The 4-pack (model MFEA4LL/A) is $89.00, saving $10 against $99.00 — $22.25 per tag, the cheaper per-tag price if you actually need four. No sale end date is shown on either Best Buy page.

The second-generation AirTag carries a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, which coverage cites as extending Precision Finding range by roughly 50% over the first generation, with a louder speaker, a user-replaceable CR2032 battery rated for more than a year, and sharing with up to five people.

Who should buy: iPhone owners who want a tracker for keys, bags or luggage — $23 is the lowest single-tag price tracked for this model, and the 4-pack is the better value per tag. Who should skip: buyers who do not use an iPhone, or who already own first-generation AirTags that work for them — the range and speaker upgrades alone are not a reason to replace working tags. Note also that the expanded Precision Finding range needs a compatible recent iPhone, per Apple's own footnote as reported in coverage.

What we dropped, and why

  • Woot's laptop event, not repeated. Woot's "Big Deals on Laptops" page was checked live: code TENOFFLAPTOP is displayed on the event page itself, valid through October 28 at 11:58 PM CT, with the event ending October 29 at 12:00 AM CT, and prices including the Alienware 15 at $1,549.99 ($1,394.99 with code), the Alienware 16 Aurora at $2,239.99 ($2,015.99 with code) and the Galaxy Book5 Pro at $1,599.99 ($1,439.99 with code). Those prices are real, but ThingDaily's October 26 deals article already featured exactly those laptops, so repeating them here would duplicate yesterday's roundup. Buyers who want them should read that article — and note the code expires tonight.
  • All Amazon-only prices. As in the October 27 roundup, no price is published here on Amazon's say-so alone. The AirTag 2 prices above are published because Best Buy's own pages show them — not because Amazon lists them.

The verdict

  • Best deal overall Best pick → the Bambu Lab A1 Mini at $199.99, the cheapest entry to a well-regarded printer lineup, with the sale running to December 1.
  • Best mid-range printer → the P2S AMS Combo at $649.99, $100 off, for regular multi-colour printing.
  • Best flagship saving → the H2C AMS Combo at $1,899.99, $300 off — but only for buyers who will use it.
  • Best small saving → AirTag 2 at $23.00 for one, or $89.00 for four ($22.25 each) at Best Buy.

Pricing verified as of Q4 2026. All prices above were checked live on the retailers' own pages (us.store.bambulab.com, bestbuy.com and computers.woot.com for the dropped Woot event) on October 28, 2026, around 00:45 ICT. Bambu Lab's own store prices are $1 lower than Best Buy's on each printer; the table uses Best Buy's prices.
