Holiday Gift Guide: LEGO Sets That You Need
This holiday season, it’s important to never, ever let the child inside you die. That would be, like, totally lame. Anything we can do to foster that spark is worth the investment. Whether that’s with video games, board games, or epic Nerf battles, you need to encourage your youthful side to play. In my case, it’s LEGO.
Here are some LEGO sets that will bring you back to childhood
Star Wars: The Mandalorian The Child
The Child, Baby Yoda, or Grogu. It doesn’t matter as long as you can build him. This LEGO set, featuring 1,073 pieces, allows you to move his adorable little ears, posing you how you see fit. It’s impossible not to smile at a little LEGO Grogu, amirite?
Infinity Gauntlet
This 590-piece model of the iconic weapon from Avengers will have your enemies all over the known universe trembling that they may be reduced to dust. One snap, and the food crisis will suddenly become far more manageable.
Super Mario 64 Question Mark
Don’t smack your head on this. Nothing will come out. Well, money won’t. Instead, you can fold out microscale levels including Peach’s Castle, Bob-omb Battlefield, Cool, Cool Mountain, and Lethal Lava Trouble. Play for hours with 2,064 pieces or fold it up and leave it on display for your guests to go, “?”
Seinfeld Set
What’s the deal with this 1,326-piece set? You can recreate classic Seinfeld moments, but in LEGO. Elaine’s goldfish, Kramer’s thirst-inducing pretzels, or sit around and yada yada yada about nothing. For fans of LEGO and Seinfeld alike, this set is definitely sponge-worthy.
Adidas Originals Superstar Athletic Shoe
Maybe you’re not as amused by a giant LEGO shoe as I am, but this set comes with real laces. 731 pieces make up this buildable version of the iconic sneaker. Since real shoes are best used on feet, it makes much more sense to put a LEGO shoe on display.
R2D2
*excited beeps and whistles!* Recreate your favorite droid with this 2,314-piece set. This R2D2 is capable of head swiveling, periscope rising, and other gadgets and doodads so you can (kind of) pose him any way you choose.
Ship in a Bottle
For those of you who have always wanted to build a ship in a bottle but never wanted to dedicate that much time or patience, LEGO is offering you a consolation prize. This 962-piece rainy-weekend project is surely just as satisfying as the incredibly time-consuming nautical hobby counterpart.
DC Batman Batmobile Tumbler
If you like some hardcore goth-bro energy, then this LEGO batmobile set is for you. Boasting 2,049 pieces, the tumbler from the Nolan series is one of a kind. Featuring Batman and Joker minifigures, you can rule the night one brick at a time.
Titanic
Titanic-enthusiasts rejoice! Here is the most unsinkable model, a model that God himself could not sink. At a price more affordable than a one-way first-class ticket, you will spend as many hours to build this thing as it took to construct the actual Titanic. Featuring detailed interiors, you can build the famous Grand Staircase, smoking lounge, swimming pool, and much more. Just keep an eye out for that LEGO iceberg, roight ahead!
NASA Space Shuttle Discovery
Designed in collaboration with NASA, this Space Shuttle Discovery set coincides with the 40th anniversary of the very first shuttle flight. With 2,354 pieces, you can spend hours constructing this iconic piece of human aerospace history. There’s even a cute little Hubble Telescope you can build alongside.
Fender Stratocaster Guitar
Recreate this iconic 1970s guitar made famous by Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton played, only LEGO. Make your musician friends seemingly jealous with this nonmusical set.
Darth Vader Helmet – $69.99
Recreate the famous dark lord’s helmet and feel the power of the dark side. With 834 pieces, you can immerse yourself into the world of the Sith and feel what it’s like to rule the galaxy.
There are many, many more LEGO sets out there to choose from. But these are the sets we think are awesome. However, when it comes to LEGOs, everything is awesome.
