14 best Lego sets for adults to build in 2025

There's no denying that most kids love LEGO – but what happens when those kids grow up? Generally, they become adults who still love LEGO – and now thanks to so many amazing adult-friendly LEGO sets, they're able to continue building, creating and having fun. 'There is something special about the LEGO brick that has meant it has a vast fan base,' says Angie Tutt, Senior Director Head of Marketing at LEGO Australia. 'The versatility and enduring appeal of the LEGO play system transcends language, culture, age, gender and interests. According to Tutt, grown up LEGO fans weren't always grown-ups. 'We often hear stories of parents and grandparents passing on their LEGO bricks to their children, grandchildren, neighbours and friends,' she says 'There is a clear spark of joy when people are able to share memories with someone and something they love.' And now there are so many great ways for adults to build with LEGO. You can assemble your favourite car from the TECHNIC range, recreate an iconic architectural building, even produce a bouquet for your upcoming wedding. The choice is endless. In fact, the challenge is not so much trying to build the 9036-piece set of The Colosseum – but deciding which LEGO set to do next. Fans of the iconic LEGO Star Wars range will love LEGO's newly released building sets including the exciting Jango Fett's Firespray-Class Starship. Already attracting rave reviews, builders have left glowing comments such as 'Fantastic set' and 'You won't be disappointed.' Or what about LEGO's Wildflower Bouquet users saying they are 'obsessed'. So, whether you're needing mindful down time, revisiting childhood memories or simply looking for your next exciting project, there's a LEGO set to suit every occasion and obsession. OUR TOP PICKS BEST LEGO TECHNIC SETS BMW M 1000 RR, $389.99 at LEGO What You Need To Know The TECHNIC range, developed back in the 70s is less about brick building and more about engineering and creating cars, trucks, motorbikes and planes, with lifelike working parts and mechanics. The options are plentiful, however one super popular choice is the BMW M 1000 RR. Motorbike enthusiasts can create this 1:5 scale replica with details including a functional three-speed, gearbox, steering, front and rear suspension, chain transmission and inline four-piston engine. You also get two display stands to show off your creation once it's done. One LEGO fan was thrilled with this set and left the following five-star review: 'This set is everything you want out of a Lego Motorcycle. The gear box from 1st, neutral, 2nd, and 3rd gear is impressive along with a visually appealing presentation display once completed. It was cool to have a set from a motorcycle manufacturer such as Yamaha, who also have a good reputation on their dirt bike side of things with their yz selections. All in all loved the design and building experience of this Yamaha bike from Lego!' What You Need To Know A collaboration between LEGO experts and McLaren Racing, this racing car was created in time for the 2022 racing season and captures its many authentic details such as a V6 cylinder engine with moving pistons and a unique gearbox that allows the driver to shift gears using the paddles on the steering wheel. An absolute treat for all LEGO fans of Formula 1 car racing. One happy builder left a review saying, 'I was so beyond excited when I saw McLaren F1 and LEGO teaming up to make this set, I stayed up release night just to assure I could get my hands on it and it was the best 8-10 hours I could have spent money on! Don't hesitate if you're a fan of F1, it was so fun and cool to get a deeper look into the technology of formula 1 albeit in LEGO form. I'm looking forward to hopefully more sets in conjunction with F1 in the future!' Jango Fett's Firespray-Class Starship, $499.99 at LEGO What You Need To Know To celebrate a hugely successful LEGO Star Wars collaboration, LEGO has released a range of exclusive building sets that fans will love to get their hands on – including the Jango Fett's Firespray Class Starship. This exciting new creation features an authentic interior, a movable main entrance, adjustable blasters, a seismic charge and, for when you're finished the build, a sleek display stand to show it off. With an impressive 2970 pieces and two redesigned minifigures, you can live out your favourite movie scenes, flying through asteroid fields and chasing Jedi masters. And LEGO Star Wars builders the world over are thrilled. 'What an amazing set you won't be disappointed,' wrote a five-star reviewer. 'The build was great with some interesting techniques to create the shape of the ship and it definitely deserves its 18+'. 'Fantastic set,' said another happy builder. 'It's a really enjoyable build and figures are great. Definitely will stand out on your shelf.' BEST LEGO CREATOR SETS Boutique Hotel, $349.99 at LEGO What You Need To Know This elaborate hotel, spread over three levels captures the charm of European turn-of-the-century architecture with beautifully decorated guest rooms, penthouse suite, lobby, terrace, staircase and roof complete with decorative dome and skylight. Pieces are all patterned, not a sticker in sight, and there are seven minifigures included to bring all manner of stories to life. (I'm thinking an Agatha Christie murder mystery …) One happy builder left a detailed review saying, 'The flooring on the main ground floor is exquisite, and I love the way the base plates are configured to achieve the shape of the building. The large flower pot is just elegant and absolutely love the Mondrian & the Picasso style paintings. It's so nice to see different ways of creating interior furniture, for example the various beds within the hotel and the cabinets. I am truly in my element! Other features I love are the mini figures especially the one with the pull along luggage, the coffee cart and the bath with the consideration for the plug hole. The mini figures within the Lego world are truly catered for in this well needed hotel …' What You Need To Know This is a new addition to the LEGO family and just as impressive as the other many members. Now you can recreate the iconic supersonic jet with all its amazing details such as a tiltable droop nose, functioning landing gear, a retractable tail bumper wheel, delta wings with movable elevons and hinged upper and lower rudders. There's also an accessible seating area and a stand for display in flight, takeoff or landing modes. Only new to LEGO, this set is already attracting favourable reviews, such as, 'If you're questioning whether you should get this set or not, stop thinking and buy it. I have bought lots of Legos throughout my life and this set just felt amazing building it, It is surprisingly very sturdy for the size of this set, just buy it you wont regret it.' BEST LEGO ARCHITECTURE SETS Notre-Dame de Paris at LEGO What You Need To Know This incredibly detailed LEGO Architecture building set captures all the history and beauty of the famous Notre-Dame, from the first stone laid, through to architect Viollet-le-Duc's redesign work in the 19th century before the fire of 2019. Perfect for lovers of history, travel or Paris – or simply those who relish hands-on creative activities. 'Wow … another absolutely beautiful build,' wrote a five-star reviewer. 'You will not regret this purchase … This particular build is amazing because you actually build it in the steps that the cathedral was completed in construction and the directions give you awesome history facts …' What You Need To Know Go back in time and recreate one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid of Giza. This set offers a cross section revealing all its inner chambers and tunnels, even a system that might have been used to move the heavy stones. You can also establish the surrounding landscape of the River Nile with ancient boats, two small pyramids, two mortuary temples, Sphinx statues and an obelisk. Just so you know, you only build half a pyramid with this set (some builders have bought two sets for this reason). One of many satisfied reviewers uploaded the comment, 'The building experience and complexity of its design makes me believe it could have been more expensive. It now sits completed as a gorgeous decoration in my home. I highly recommend getting it.' BEST LEGO CAR SETS LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sián, $699.99 at LEGO What You Need To Know Car enthusiasts have many amazing options when it comes to LEGO sets, such as this Lamborghini from the TECHNIC range, a faithful replication of the real thing. Features include eight-speed transmission, V12 engine with moving pistons, steering, and front and rear suspension. Of course, there are the cool classic scissor opening doors of a real life Lamborghini and when you open the hood, you'll see your own unique serial number. There are over 350 five-star reviews on this car set, one of which says, 'This car is brilliant value for money. My build time was around 30 hours and very satisfying when it was completed. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a challenging build. The engineering by Lego is amazing. I'm grateful for the printed pieces rather than added stickers. Furthermore, the time and effort put into the packaging and instruction book is justified by the price.' What You Need To Know Another fantastic LEGO car set, the 1:8 scale model of Ferrari Daytona from the TECHNIC range is a winner. With real life features such as butterfly opening doors, V12 engine, an 8-speed sequential gearbox with paddle shift, a removable roof and shock absorbers, you will be one step closer to owning your own version of this much-coveted luxury car. A little more expensive than other items, the TECHNIC car sets still continue to draw (and delight) the LEGO crowds with heaps of glowing reviews to prove it. One enthusiast left a review on the Ferrari saying, 'Build quality is a 10/10. This model is so visually pleasing and is easily the crown jewel of my collection!' BEST DECORATIVE LEGO SETS Wildflower Bouquet, $99.99 at LEGO What You Need To Know LEGO's floral arrangements are incredibly popular with builders, who love to create blooms to use as home decorative pieces. Which makes sense as they don't need looking after, they never die and they always look perfect. This set includes eight species of wildflower and can be assembled and arranged in many ways – or combined with other LEGO flower sets. The floral arrangements are endless and always everlasting. Makes a wonderful and more permanent gift alternative to the usual bunch of flowers. One customer left a review saying, 'I am a big fan of all of the different LEGO flower sets. This set is my favourite. These flower sets last a lot longer than real flower centrepieces, and they are always a conversation starter with our guests. Please make more!' What You Need To Know Have you ever longed to have your own beautiful and calming Bonsai tree, but have no idea how to look after it? Well, now you can build your own and have it on show forever with LEGO's Bonsai Tree set. Create a sense of harmony and balance in the home with the tree's green leaves that can be customer arranged, as well as detailed pick cherry blossoms to mark the change of season. 'I was so excited to get my own Lego set instead of a kids set,' commented one fan. 'This set didn't disappoint. The instructions are easy to follow and the parts are separated in numbered bags. I love that you can either have a green leave bonsai or pink flowers. I chose pink but it will be simple to change it to green when I want. This set took me about 2 hours to construct with interruptions. I do help put Lego together regularly with my kids so I have experience. And the best thing yet, the tool this set comes with to separate pieces put together incorrectly is a life saver. First set I've ever had it come with. I will be buying more of these adult sets. This tree looks so pretty on my dresser.' Eiffel Tower, $999.99 at LEGO What You Need To Know This collectable item comes at a high price but is worth every penny for the opportunity to have your very own Eiffel Tower on display in your lounge room. It includes faithful details such as arches, supports, cross bracing and railings and with over 10,000 pieces and an impressive height of 149cm, it is one of the tallest LEGO sets yet. The chance to have your own little patch of Paris in the comfort of your own home. Many reviewers loved this set, some have found it somewhat repetitive – but that's the challenge of such a large build. One left the comment, 'When I heard Lego was going to be releasing a new Eiffel Tower, I started saving up for it. Now I'm sure you're asking, is it repetitive? And the answer is yes but it's not as irritating as you think. I built this set over the weekend and I added the fair lights the following weekend but I honestly didn't find the repetition bothersome at all. I saw a lot of bad reviews on this set online but It's not nearly as they have suggested. But this is my personal experience. However even if you do find it extremely dull to build, you will be left with one of IF not the most beautiful set in Lego history. Plus the size of it makes it an excellent conversation piece. Overall I am extremely HAPPY and pleased with this set.' What You Need To Know Looking for another iconic LEGO build to create and keep forever? The Titanic is definitely one to consider with all the authentic detail and grandeur of the real thing. Create the ships bridge, promenade deck and swimming pool and via a cross section, appreciate the layout including the grand staircase, boiler room, smoking lounge and much more. A significant purchase and a remarkable addition to your LEGO collection. One happy reviewer uploaded the comment, 'I love my Titanic. It is such a beautiful tribute to the victims of that terrible disaster. The set itself is absolutely exquisite. LEGO did such an amazing job with this. It is a worthy display piece in any collection. I added some LED lights to my set though and it looks even more amazing. If you can get your hands on this set, I'd highly recommend this!' BEST LEGO STORAGE What You Need To Know There's nothing worse than misplacing a brick that is crucial to your build, especially in the final stages. These cute stackable boxes are ideal for keeping all your precious bricks together and away from dogs, small children and whoever else should not be touching them. Buy a collection to separate bits and pieces for each section in your build – while creating a fun aesthetic in your home. HOW WE CHOOSE PRODUCTS To help you find the best ADULT LEGO for your needs and budget, we asked Angie Tutt, Senior Director, Head of Marketing at LEGO Australia for her expert advice and recommendations on what to look for. In addition, we examined all the available options and read countless LEGO-devoted customer reviews in order to identify the best LEGO sets for adults from premium to budget to help you find the right one. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT'S SO APPEALING ABOUT LEGO? LEGO is universal with something for everyone, so naturally it appeals to a wide range of people. One day I was carrying LEGO's Disney 'Up House' on the way home from work and I was surprised by how many times I was stopped by not just kids, but adults as well, all wanting to know where I got it, how much it was, and what it was like. It took me ages to get home, let me tell you. According to Tutt, the reasons for adults wanting to build are varied. 'For many of our grown-up fans it is the nostalgia of play, others the incredible creativity and imagination they can display,' says Tutt. 'For some, we know that LEGO building can be a focused, hands-on mindful practice, whereas many of our fans enjoy deep diving into their passions, whether that be a love of architecture or vehicles, there is something for almost everyone.' HOW DO ADULTS BENEFIT FROM LEGO? LEGO offers so many benefits, and according to Tutt, research shows that much can be gained when families play together. 'As well as helping children develop key life skills like creativity, communication, problem-solving and confidence, play has a whole range of benefits for adults too,' she says. 'It has the power to help adults unwind and find relief from their busy days with 87 per cent of adults (2022 Play Well Study) saying play helps them relax and feel calm, which is important in our busy lives.' Adult-friendly LEGO is created specifically for adult hands and minds, so yes, if you're a young child, these sets won't appeal. Adult builds are aimed at those of 18 years and beyond, however there are many that you may be able to build together with older teenage kids. HOW MANY PIECES ARE USUALLY IN AN ADULT SET? In short, a lot! But each set varies depending on its size and complexity. The iconic Orchid has 608 pieces while the massive Eiffel Tower has over 10,000 – both are for adults with a certain degree of difficulty that is aimed at those over 18 years of age. However many adult sets such as the TECHNIC car range contain an average of 2000 – 3000 pieces. Which is why LEGO storage is such an important consideration – as well of course somewhere to display your masterpiece once it's done!

Now that is what we call a cool hidden Easter Egg. Another impressive set that was released for Star Wars Day is the Jango Fett's Firespray-Class Starship, the latest in the Lego Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series. Measuring an impressive 44 cm long, the model can be displayed in either the landing position, or the more iconic upright flight mode. It also comes with updated Jango Fett and Young Boba Fett minifigures, and play features such as a press-down main entrance, a compartment containing the seismic charge (which you can deploy if a Jedi starfighter ever gets on your tail), and adjustable blaster cannons. There will be no disintegrations when this set is finally built. — Photo: Lego Feel the Force at Royal Selangor Sure, it may be happening a week AFTER Star Wars Day, but everyday is Star Wars Day if the Force is strong with you! On May 10, 2-4pm, the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre will be turned into a galactic playground of fun and fandom, as the centre hosts a celebration featuring a variety of activities. From a trivia challenge for the ultimate Star Wars experts and a giant graffiti wall, to special appearances by cosplayers from the Star Wars Malaysia Fan Club, there's something for every Star Wars fan here. You can even dress up as your favourite character and enter the Star Wars costume contest to win cool prizes. One of the highlights of the day will be the Peperangan Bintang show,, a one-of-a-kind wayang kulit performance by the acclaimed Fusion Wayang Kulit troupe, which brings the Star Wars movies to life through shadow puppetry. This Royal Selangor Darth Vader bust is impressive. Most impressive. — Photo: Royal Selangor Last but not least, Star Wars collectors will be able to preview the all-new Star Wars collectibles that are part of Royal Selangor's Spring Summer 2025 releases, which celebrates one of cinema's most formidable villains - Darth Vader. The new range includes meticulously sculpted busts to striking collectibles capturing his most iconic moments, each celebrating the Sith Lord's legacy of power, fear, and redemption.

Elite Squad goes hot (toys) In other Star Wars toys and collectible news, Hot Toys recently announced a new figure to its Star Wars range – an Elite Squad Trooper from the Star Wars: The Bad Batch animated series. Elite Squad troopers never miss! Or do they? — Photo: Hot Toys According to a press release, the Elite Squad was a 'select group of top soldiers from across the galaxy. 'Envisioned as a way to generate loyal soldiers for the Empire without relying solely on clone soldiers, a small sampling of highly skilled, enlisted recruits tasked with neutralizing anti-Imperial insurgents throughout the galaxy." This new 1/6th scale collectible figure of Elite Squad Trooper is available in a limited quantity of only 1,500 units, exclusively in selected markets.

What is Star Wars Day and when did it start? Here's what to know

Fans of the 1977 classic movie, "Star Wars" have been celebrating an unofficial holiday since 1978, and that holiday is coming up again. Over the years, May 4 became known as "May the Fourth Be With You," or Star Wars Day, as it is now referred to. The day has evolved into a universal celebration of the "Star Wars" world, and everything in it. But when did it start? And what are some things that occur that day? Here's what to know. According to the "Star Wars" website, the unofficial holiday "has no single point of origin. It has no official commencement year, no formal dedication. It is a grassroots phenomenon that now transcends the English language pun that inspired it." The "Star Wars" website stated that the earliest time it was celebrated was in 1978, one year after the original film was released. The website explained that in 1978, different journalists used the phrase, "May the Fourth Be With You" as a quip to celebrate July 4, adding that newspapers in the UK began using the phrase the following year in 1979. There was also an incident that happened in 1982 that added some fuel to the phrase's fire. The "Star Wars" website stated, "Randy Thom, who today is the director of sound design at Skywalker Sound and has been with the company for over 40 years, worked as a location sound the production unit in northern California as they shot in the redwood forest doubling for the moon of Endor. "May 4, 1982, happened to be a working day, and Thom recalled thinking of the pun on his own when contemplating the date. He shared it with others on the set, and would continue to write an annual message to the company declaring 'May the 4th Be With You' for years to come." The "Star Wars" website stated that the following are some ways to celebrate the day: Movie marathons: Many people enjoy watching the movies and shows in the "Star Wars" saga on the unofficial holiday. Themed parties: Some people host "Star Wars" parties, with decorations, costumes, food, and activities. Dress-up day: Some fans like dressing up as favorite characters, from Darth Vader to Baby Yoda. "Star Wars" crafts: Activities can include making lightsabers, droids, or other "Star Wars" themed crafts. Trivia and games: Playing "Star Wars" trivia or engaging in themed games like galactic egg races or obstacle courses are popular activities. "Star Wars" food and drinks: Fans of the film like enjoying Blue Milk, Bantha Kebobs, or other "Star Wars" inspired food and drinks. Social media: Posting on social media with #NationalStarWarsDay and sharing themed content is a way to connect with other fans. According to the Lego website, the new building sets, available on May 1, include: Jango Fett's Firespray-Class Starship (75409): A highly detailed and large-scale model of Jango Fett's Slave 1. Chopper (C1-10P Astromech Droid (75416): A buildable version of the popular droid character. Brick-Built Star Wars logo (75407): A decorative display piece featuring the iconic Star Wars logo. Jango Fett and Kylo Ren helmets (75408 and 75415): Detailed, buildable versions of these iconic helmets. Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle (75406): A mid-scale model of the shuttle. Rebel U-Wing Starfighter (75399): A set inspired by Star Wars: Andor season 2.
