1. Grand-Prix Racer
You’ll probably never be able to drive a real F1 car, so the
next best thing, surely, is it to build a Grand Prix racer out of blocks of
Lego. Super detailed, this model features an opening engine cover, adjustable
spoiler and realistic steering, plus it measures a whopping two foot long.
What’s more is you can even pop in a Lego motor and increase your fun no end.
Total number of pieces: 1141
Price: £79.99
2. Star Wars Super Star Destroyer
Darth Vader’s home away from home, the Super Star Destroyer,
has been faithfully rebuilt in Lego, weighing over 3.5 kilos and measuring
124.5cm in length, this model is something to behold. It also is far from
cheap, costing £350, but for that price you do get a stand to place your
creation on and five minifigures – including Darth Vader himself.
Total number of pieces: 3152
Price: £349.99
3. Star Wars Ewok Village
Many criticise the cute little bear like creatures that
inhabit the forest moon of Endor, but c’mon, when they’re recreated so
fantastically in blocks of Lego, what’s not to love? There’s 16 minifigures in
this set, along with a speeder and the beautifully detailed Ewok treehouse.
Total number of pieces: 1990
Price: £199
4. Tower Bridge
The classic London landmark looks great in Lego, full of
detail and accurate touches – a true opening draw-bridge for one. It’s over
a
100cm in length, making this a truly mammoth build and one you’ll never want to
take down. Red double-decker buses, a black cab and a yellow truck all add to
the authenticity.
Total number of pieces: 4295
Price: £209.99
5. Star Wars Millennium Falcon
Lego and Star Wars is a partnership that has spawned so many
great models and games, yet the Millenium Falcon is probably our favourite
purely down to the intricate details. They’ve included a fully kitted out
interior, laser cannons and you can remove the cockpit cover, to get right up
close to Chewie and Han. Measuring 38cm wide and 10cm tall, this model will sit
proudly on your mantle – much better than some old vase.
Total number of pieces: 1254
Price: £132.99
6. Sydney Opera House
Lego can be designed for adults too, with no set proving
that point more than this recreation of the Sydney Opera House. Constructed out
of tan bricks and sitting on a blue plate, this model is almost photo
realistic.
Total number of pieces:: 2989
Price: £249.99
7. Minecraft
Minecraft seems ripe for a Lego version, as it’s already
pretty blocky in its original form. Again chosen by CUSOO, this model has a
particularly smooth finish to it, mimicking the actual Minecraft pixelated look
down to a tee. Two characters, Steve and Creeper, are included, so you can even
play your own little game.
Total number of pieces: 480
Price: £34.99
8. Jabba’s Sail Barge
If there’s one place you don’t want to be in the Star Wars
universe it’s aboard the sail barge of Jabba the Hut – as Princess Leia will
testify. Jabba himself looks great in Lego form, as does the barge, which can
be opened up to reveal another area to play in.
Total number of pieces: 850
Price: £99
9. The Batcave
Classic comic book locations don’t come anymore iconic that
Batman’s lair, the Batcave and Lego obviously seem to agree. This model depicts
a scene between Batman, Robin and the Baaaannnnnneeeeee (say that in your best
Tom Hardy voice) yet set in the classic DC Universe, rather than the one seen in
Christopher Nolan’s trilogy. There are little details everywhere, from the lift
where you can transform Bruce Wayne into the Batman, along with the section
devoted to Bat-Gear.
Total number of pieces: 690
Price: £69.99
10. Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar
In only a mere matter of months the Christmas countdown will
begin and, as they have done for the past few years, Lego will be producing an
advent calendar. This Star Wars themed version features a new figure every day,
from the December 1st up until Christmas eve.
Total number of pieces: 254
Price: £24.99
11. Bane vs Batman
“I broke you. How have you come back?” Bane definitely
proved to be a great villain in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, with a load of
memorable lines to boot. The best way to enjoy this Lego set is to put on your
best Bane voice and just go for it. Figures of Batman and Commissioner Gordon
are included as well.
Total number of pieces: 367
Price: £39.99
12. Mindstorms EV3
Far from sticking a few faded coloured bricks together, the
newest addition to the Mindstorms line-up is a robot that you can build,
program and control yourself. Comprising of a programmable brick, an ARM9
processor and a variety of sensors and remotes, this is about the most
customisable Lego robot we can think of. There’s a downloadable app, for both
iOS and Android, which works as another remote and it even has included Wi-Fi
for connecting to the internet. Now, that’s one tech fuelled robot.

Price: £299
13. The DeLorean from Back to the Future
Lego Cuusoo is almost like Kickstarter for plastic bricks,
allowing fans to create their own models and hope enough people like them so it
can be put in production. This particular model, the classic DeLorean from Back
to the Future, is one of the lucky ones. Mini figures of Marty McFly and Doc
Brown are included, and the DeLorean itself looks great, packed with intricate
details and little touches fans will love. One for collectors, we’d say.
Total number of pieces: 401
Price: £34.99
14. Lego Marvel Quinjet Aerial Battle
Lego has now infested the Marvel Universe of superheroes,
bringing some classic Avenger’s scenes to plastic model form. This particular
set takes place mid-air, with the Quinjet – a plane type thing engaging in
battle with the villainous Loki. There are five mini-figures included, multiple
customisable sections and a special prison to house Loki once he’s captured.
Total number of pieces: 735
Price: £69.99
15. Technic Mobile Crane MK II
Lego claims this is one of the biggest and most complex
Technic models ever created, and going by the looks of it, we tend to agree.
This motorised mobile crane behemoth has eight wheels, five axles and a
detailed V8 motor with actual moving pistons. The crane itself can be extended
to nearly 80cm and there are even instructions on how to build a completely
different model included. This is Lego building, on an industrial scale.
Total number of pieces: 2606
Price: £149.99
16. Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400
Pneumatically powered, articulated cranes and Lego don’t
often go hand in hand, but in this instance, they work perfectly together.
Modelled on a Mercedes-Benz Unimog, this vehicle packs in Lego Power Functions,
a detailed engine with moving pistons and even realistic suspension.
Total number of pieces: 2048
Price: £154.99
17. Lord of the Rings - The Tower of Orthanc
Standing 73cm tall, this faithful recreation of the Tower of
Orthanc from the epic Lord of the Rings, is one of the finest Lego builds we’ve
seen. All six floors have been given the plastic block makeover, with
everything from the library to the alchemy room included. Naturally, both
Gandalf and Saruman make appearances, as do the tree like Ents and you even get
a great eagle to play with.
Total number of pieces: 2359
Price: £169.99
18. Rescue Helicopter
Vehicles have always been our favourite thing to construct
out of Lego and especially ones that could fly. This rescue helicopter is
fantastically detailed and just looks heaps for fun to swoosh around with. The
rotor spins, the winch lowers and you can aid the injured Lego people with ease
thanks to the opening bay door.
Total number of pieces: 1056
Price: £69.99
19. Express Train
Calling all you trainspotters out there, this set could be the
newest addition to your growing collection of railway themed memorabilia.
Modelled after a typical high-speed train, this set features a removable upper
layer, detailed interior and it works with Lego’s range of train tracks.
