These 25 incredible LEGO sets inspired by franchises and fandoms of every kind are a must-have for every LEGO collector.
LEGO fanatics are always looking for the next great build, the next cool set to add to their collection. Whether you like playing or displaying best, the following 25 LEGO sets will wow you with their size, their details and the sheer fun of putting them together.
Without further ado, let’s get started!
25. Star Wars Death Star – 4,016 pieces
Your living room will be the ultimate power in the universe when you build this mega-sized LEGO Death Star in it. But this set is not just powerful; it is also ridiculously fun. At just over 4000 pieces and a size of 16 inches by 16 inches, the Death Star will keep LEGO and Star Wars fans alike working hours, even days putting it together. The space station design is a combination of the plans of the First Death Star from Star Wars: A New Hope and the Second Death Star from Return of the Jedi. Each of the open spaces depicts a scene from one of those two films. For example, one space depicts the detention block where Luke Skywalker and Han Solo battle stormtroopers to rescue Princess Leia. Another one shows father and son duo Darth Vader and Luke dueling with their lightsabers in the Emperor’s throne room. The open areas also serve a practical function: they allow you to build and play with the interior scenes without having to take off an outer shell.
With 23 different minifigures, it is easy to recreate or make up any Star Wars adventure you desire. The set also comes with minifigure-sized weapons such as the lightsabers, blasters and Chewbacca’s bowcaster, as well as an extra vehicle in Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced.
The creative possibilities with this set are endless! And it’s all available for a small fee of $499.99! Yeah. Hopefully, your wallet is endless, too.
