It’s a shame that many grownups forget to play and allow their creativity to atrophy. Play is a fantastic method to boost your mental health. And, with an extensive selection explicitly designed for grownups, you can focus your creativity while having fun by bringing LEGO sets back into your life. Adults can benefit from playing with LEGO in various ways, including as a means to cultivate mindfulness. There are a few more mental health benefits as well.
LEGO is for everyone; there is probably even Lego for cats! The point is these ten Lego sets below are the best Christmas gifts you can give the LEGO-loving adult in your life.
Nintendo Entertainment System – Is it really necessary to explain this? It’s the most beautiful thing we’ve seen this year, and it’s a perfect complement for any tech cave setting. This accurate copy of Nintendo’s world-dominating machine is made out of 2,646 pieces. It includes everything from a genuine cartridge to a small Mario. He traverses a scrolling LEGO level with the turn of a handle.
James Bond Aston Martin – This fantastic LEGO set is an exact recreation of the 1964 Aston Martin DB5 sports automobile made famous by James Bond in Goldfinger. Drum-lacquered silver front and rear bumpers, molded silver-colored wire wheel rim inserts, and opening boot, bonnet, and doors are all part of the iconic design. Inside, you’ll discover a functional ejector seat, revolving number plates, a bulletproof rear-window screen, front wing machine guns, and wheel-mounted tire scythes, among other James Bond gadgets.
Adidas Originals – Who’d have guessed you could make your own Adidas trainers out of LEGO? Of course, wearing them outside the house is optional; the kit includes a stand, so you may proudly exhibit them within your home if you choose. In addition, LEGO has included actual shoelaces as a finishing touch, which you can thread through the blocks to complete the look.
Flower Bouquet – The fact that the newest Instagram-worthy kit is already temporarily sold out on the LEGO website didn’t surprise us. You may acquire it for a little higher price from an eBay seller until it comes back into stock.
Diagon Alley – For Harry Potter enthusiasts, this massive LEGO Diagon Alley set is a must-have. Ollivander’s wand shop, the Weasley Brothers’ joke shop, the Quidditch supplies shop and Flourish & Blotts bookshop, the Daily Prophet’s office, and an ice cream shop are included in the wonderfully detailed set. It can be constructed in four different ways; the main drawback is the lack of a cauldron shop. It isn’t cheap, to be sure, but it measures over a meter wide when finished, and constructing it is likely to be a lot of fun. Four new characters, including Lucius Malfoy and Gilderoy Lockhart, are among the 14 mini-figures featured.
Friends Central Perk – It’s a complete recreation of the famous coffee shop from Friends, complete with every little touch you could hope for: the menu, the wall hangings, the muffin display, the carpet… It’s been a smash hit for LEGO since it came out, and it’ll probably be one of the most popular sets this Christmas. LEGO has even made it look like a TV program set, complete with supporting pillars and studio lighting. But, most significantly, it includes all six of your buddies in lookalike versions that range from amusing to bizarre.
Empire State Building – The Empire State Building is, without a doubt, the most famous piece of architecture in North America. This beautiful Art Deco masterpiece is in the heart of midtown Manhattan. It is one of the world’s most recognizable structures. The LEGO version of this skyscraper will tower over your desk by 21 inches. This LEGO set comes with 1,767 pieces and is jam-packed with details that LEGO fans will love. It’s also reasonably priced, unlike some of the more complicated LEGO models below.
Bonsai Tree – LEGO is undoubtedly leading the toy business in the sustainability game. It is committed to making all of its packaging non-plastic by 2025 and every single block the same by 2030. The botanical range is one of the plant-based bricks made from sugar cane. It is one of the varieties that commemorates a journey towards this non-oil-based future.
UCS Star Destroyer – This is the largest LEGO Star Wars set ever released, second only to the 2017 75192 Millennium Falcon. It catches all of the crucial elements of the actual spacecraft, which can be seen in the Original Trilogy films or, more precisely, in the opening scene of A New Hope. This LEGO Star Destroyer kit will pique the interest of even the most uninterested person, thanks to its nearly 5000 parts and enormous size. As long as you don’t binge-build it without taking a break, it will keep you entertained for days.
Ducati Bike – Ducati’s 2020 Panigale V4 S proved to be its best bike, barely a year ago. The V4 R has been immortalized in LEGO block form, capturing all of the spirit and design of the model it’s based on. In addition, it’s the first LEGO Technic set to feature a working gearbox.
