44. Architecture London Skyline
For kids over 12 (and any desiring adult architecture geeks), grab one of these LEGO Architecture sets. The series celebrates the world’s most iconic landmarks and architectural wonders, like this wonderful London skyline. Kids can build the National Gallery, Nelson’s Column, the London Eye, Big Ben and Tower Bridge, all from scratch, including transparent baseplate tiles for London’s famed Thames River. With the set, you also get a collectible booklet with information about the design and history of the buildings for a rewarding and educational experience. It’s not a huge set, with only 468 pieces, but it’s enough to feel super accomplished once built. Makes a great addition to your display shelves and to any classroom.

Part of LEGO’s versatile Creator line, this expert-level Assembly Square set offers an elaborate city facade full of shops, a dentist’s office, a dance studio, and sidewalk with outdoor café furniture for all the minifigures to explore. Introduced in 2001, LEGO Creator sets are designed to inspire young builders to create a wide range designs from the same set of bricks. They come in various themes such as cars, trucks, planes, houses, animals, and more, often featuring realistic details and interactive parts to up the ante on play and craetivity.

46. Ideas BTS Dynamite
There is actually a LEGO set for just about every pop culture phenomenon, including major music icons BTS. Fans of the famous K-Pop band can recreate scenes from the music video for their global hit single “Dynamite” with this play-and-display model kit for ages 18+. And yes, I know that’s technically an adult, but LEGO transcends generations! This nearly 750-piece set includes seven LEGO minifigures of the band members: RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook, each with their own microphone. And you can bring them to life in brick versions of a disco, record store, and donut store. Or have them shoot some hoops and hang out at the ice cream truck. The options are endless. Oh, and don’t forget the detachable stage! Every band needs one.
47. Ideas Vincent Van Gogh The Starry Night
What a beautiful way to honor one of the most famous artworks in history! This LEGO Ideas set—a collaboration with The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and a fan designer—lets you recreate one of Vincent van Gogh’s most beloved paintings: The Starry Night. All in classic LEGO bricks, of course. The LEGO Ideas platform lets fans share their original design ideas and concepts for potential LEGO products. Other fans can vote and provide feedback. And then LEGO designers evaluate winning projects to put them into production. In this 18 and over set of just over 2,300 pieces, builders can assemble a 3D version of Van Gogh’s intense colors and brushstrokes, mirroring the original swirling clouds and rolling hills. There’s also a Vincent minifigure complete with paintbrush and palette and you can hang the finished piece on your wall or display it as a freestanding trophy with your other builds. Quite a win for any adult LEGO lover or fine art afficionado!
