One of my favorite childhood memories has to be putting together LEGO sets with my brother. We only had some basic sets, but we spent hours building and rebuilding our designs.
Since then, LEGO sets have come a long way, and they're not just for kids. In fact, I have several family members and friends who spend weekends obsessively building new sets. If you're searching for a new activity or the perfect gift for a loved one, these are the best LEGO sets for kids and adults, and they will sell out.
From LEGO Harry Potter to LEGO Star Wars, there are sets for every interest. Even kids as young as 1.5 years can get into the fun with large LEGO Duplo blocks or advent calendars, and 18+ adults can spend hours unwinding with more complicated builds, like the Mona Lisa or a festive holiday wreath.
Whether you're looking to proudly display LEGO Architecture or just want a gift idea, these are the best LEGO sets for fans, collectors, kids, and adults alike. Brick by brick, you might just get obsessed, too.
The Best LEGO Sets That Will Sell Out
LEGO Art: Modern Art
This modern art set from LEGO isn't just a fun build, it also makes a striking piece to leave on your desk or as home decor. It includes 802 pieces, includes a hanger element for displaying, and is a trendy abstract masterpiece.
LEGO Icons: Poinsettia
Tired of caring for real plants? Then you need this LEGO poinsettia flower. It comes in its own pot and the flower is the perfect holiday addition.
LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle & Grounds
Find yourself in the Venn diagram of Potterheads and LEGO fans? Then you need this Hogwarts castle and ground set. It includes underground rooms (like the Chamber of Secrets), the Great Hall, and more memorable locales from the Harry Potter series.
LEGO Marvel Endgame Final Battle
Act fast, this Avengers Endgame Final Battle set is going to be retired soon. It's great for ages 10+ and includes hidden surprises like Captain America's shield, Thor's hammer, and more. Plus, there are 5 minifigures, plus a Thanos big figure and The Wasp microfigure.
LEGO Star Wars Desert Skiff & Sarlacc Pit
Recreate your favorite moments from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi with this LEGO set. Featuring Lando, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, Han Solo, and more, plus moving Sarlacc tentacles, it's fun to build for fans and collectors 9+.
LEGO Friends Advent Calendar 2024
From Disney to Harry Potter to Star Wars, there's a LEGO advent calendar for almost everything. This adorable LEGO Friends set for kids 6+ creates a festive holiday scene with characters, toys, and even a marshmallow roasting station.
LEGO Art Mona Lisa
Measuring 17 x 11.5 inches, when you complete this Mona Lisa LEGO set, you truly have a piece of art. Not only is it fun to build (especially with friends), but it also looks amazing to display in any home or office.
LEGO Icons Wreath
This LEGO wreath is striking, whether you hang it up or put a candle in the middle for a holiday centerpiece. Best of all, you can use it year after year as a new festive piece of decor.
LEGO Duplo Number Train - Learn To Count
I tried to buy this Duplo set for my son last Christmas but I was too late -- don't make the same mistake as me! It's perfect for kids 1.5+ and can easily get them into building, stacking, and learning numbers.
LEGO Harry Potter The Burrow – Collectors' Edition
Snag this Harry Potter Collector's Edition set while you can. Open up Ron Weasley's home (The Burrow) and you can see all the fan-favorite details, like enchanted dish scrubbers, crooked windows, and more.
LEGO The Botanical Collection Dried Flower Centerpiece
All of the LEGO Botanical sets are breathtaking, but one of the most popular (and giftable) is the dried flower centerpiece. Fall-inspired, it's the perfect tablescaping accessory.
LEGO Ideas Tales of the Space Age
This is the space-age set that I bought for my brother-in-law, and started him on a LEGO spree. With an Art Deco-inspired design, it doesn't even look like a LEGO set and looks so cool on your desk or hung up on the wall.
LEGO Architecture Notre-Dame de Paris
Even if you've never been to Paris, you can stare in awe at this LEGO Notre Dame Cathedral. Remove the roof and you can see the intricate architectural detailing, like the columns and arches. This set may take you a bit (there are over 4,000 pieces), but it's worth it.
LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr
OK, this set is a bit of a splurge, but it's worth it for the ultimate Lord of the Rings fan. The Eye of Sauron is illuminated by a light brick, plus there are 10 detailed minifigures -- this is the LEGO set to rule them all.
LEGO Fortnite Supply Llama
Fortnite fans and kids 12+ will love building this Supply Llama. There's space for cool gear and you can add supplies like Slurp Juice, Dynamite, and more.
What age group is LEGO aimed at?
Kids as young as 1.5 years and adults over 18 can all enjoy LEGO sets. From LEGO Duplo to LEGO Architecture, there are builds for every age. Check out the recommended gifts and age ranges at the LEGO store.
Are LEGOs good for adults?
Oh, yes. LEGOs can be a great activity for a group of friends or a solo night. Play some music, set up some snacks, and get building. There's something for everyone, from your favorite movie to your favorite piece of art.
What is the most popular kind of LEGO set?
We've listed some of the most popular LEGO sets on this list (including ones that we always see sell out). The best LEGO gifts (or gift for yourself) will usually revolve around popular franchises like LEGO Marvel, LEGO Star Wars, or LEGO Harry Potter, and unique builds like LEGO Architecture, LEGO Botanicals, and LEGO Art.
