We all remember how when we were kids, we spent endless hours building, constructing and demolishing LEGO sets! The choice was limited in those days. Today, there are so many LEGO themes and different sets to choose from, it can get confusing how to pick the right one! Here are some of the top LEGO building sets in the market today that your child will enjoy playing with.
1. Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive Booster Ring
The Jedi Starfighter ship comes with the Hyperdrive Booster Ring which is a pretty large structure featuring flick launching missles and opening starfighter connection plates. The ring measures approximately 11" wide, and 10" tall. You can fit in your Starfighter into the ring and pretend your ship is flying at even greater speeds! The Lego set includes figures of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto.2. Market Street
This wonderful LEGO kit, Market Street, was actually designed by a Lego fan. The Lego set has very innovative features like spiral staircases, street lights, striped awnings, a terrace roof and balconies. The Lego set includes three townspeople and can be put together one floor at a time. The top three floors can be lifted off to allow you to peek into the inside of the building and check out the rooms and stairways inside. The best part about this set are the unique colors featured.3. LEGO Mindstorms NXT
Lego Mindstorms is one of the best and most innovative product ideas that Lego has come up with. The ability to create programmable robots is fascinating and intriguing to say the least. In the Lego Mindstorms NXT set, you can now create a super advanced Lego robot, and that too in 30 minutes! The Lego robot has a new 32 bit microprocessor, ramped up memory, USB and Bluetooth capabilities. The instructions are in the step by step format and pretty easy to follow.The finished robots actually respond to sounds and lights. Another cool feature is the ability to control your robot via your cell phone. Now, can anything beat that??
4. Lego Death Star
The Lego Death Star II from Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi is an absolute must for all Lego Star Wars fans and will make an eye catching addition to your Lego collection. The Lego Death Star set is very intricate and detailed. The Lego Death Star II kit includes a display stand to hold the partially constructed Death Star II. There's also an Imperial Star Destroyer to scale included. The Lego Death Star II stands an impressive 25" tall.5. Lego Castle Chess Set
I picked this Lego set because it's so non-traditional. The Lego Castle Chess set is exclusive, and features 32 chess pieces including 24 minifigures like wizards, dragons and kings. No construction is needed, simply set up your pieces and you're ready to go. The Lego Chess Set can be stored in a handy carrying case.
