Designed to be a more challenging build than your average Lego set, Lego Icons are a delight to build if𓆏 you’re looking for something a little more involved than superhero or movie-themed sets. With a pleasant mix of classic Lego sets, massive architecture, and natural life to be found, the variety of builds here will give you a ton to assemble.

These Lego sets aren’t for the faint of heart. However, with some of the most complicated builds around, and a hefty price point to match, you’re going to want to make sure you find the set right for you. Don’t worry about being too intimidated though, there are plenty of sets in the 𝓰Lego I😼cons line for everyone.

Based on a classic Lego set, the Medieval Town Square is a gigantic kit, complete with multiple buildings and villagers to work and reside in them. You can explore and build upon the village of Felsa with this set, making it a great starting point for any looking to build their o▨wn Lego diorama.

Pros & Cons
  • Contains multiple buildings to build your very own town.
  • Comes with some lovely designs and minigs to bring the village to life.

This set is based on the Lego Castle set, specifically the Medieval Market Village set, though with plenty of upgrades to make it feel like its own build. Its size means it might 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:take up a fair amount of table space, so keep that in mind when you're off to display it.

The little village of Felsa has everything you’d want from your medieval town, an old farm house, an inn, a shieldsmith’🍸s workshop, a huge watchtower, and most importantly, a cheese factory. This set comes with eight minifigs, each with their own backstory. There are also lots of little secrets and easter eggs to find in this set, making it a delight for everyone.

Are you a Dune fan or do you𒀰 have one in your life who has been non-stop talking about how great Spice is and how they want to ride a worm? They might enjoy a massive Royal Ornithopter instead and, thanks to Lego, they can spend their time crafting their own Dune adventures.

Pros & Cons
  • Comes with some amazing minifigs from the 2021 film.
  • Get to experience Arrakis but without all the sand.

This Icons set is a little different from others on this list, with extra attention paid to the eight flappable and foldable wings, movable landing gear, and a cockpit that can be opened to place your favorite Dune characters.
