After carrying our childhood and inspiring out-of-the-box architectural thinking, LEGO has never failed to bring new, exciting sets to the table that are sure to help us reminisce about our youth. In the past few years, LEGO has worked hard to create quite a number of sets that are geared toward adults. However, some of the sets tailored to children are still very much a classic that you may want to see, and perhaps even build. Whatever your preferences and interests may be, this list includes it all.
Carl’s House from ‘Up’
Based on the heartfelt Pixar film beloved by many, this set is sure to bring some nostalgia and might even be the perfect thing to build while watching the movie itself. The set features the inside of Carl and the late Ellie’s home, even including the iconic mailbox and Ellie’s famed “Adventure Book”. If you’re looking for something to build with a significant other, this may be a great set to represent your committed love.
Twirling Rapunzel
This music box Rapunzel set is a personal favorite, as it features a classic character from our childhood and is also relatively inexpensive considering its features and pricing compared with similar sets. Whether it be a gift for a child in your life or to your own inner child, this set hits the nail on the head.
A-Frame Cabin
For any outdoorsy type, this A-Frame Cabin set is a dream. The side of the cabin opens up to reveal an upstairs bedroom and a downstairs kitchen, and the set includes an arrangement of trees, a cozy porch, and even a kayak to further entice those who love the outdoors. This cabin makes the perfect decorative piece for anyone with a woodsy vibe to their home. It’s a very popular set, so it’s best to snag it while it’s still in stock!
Wildflower Bouquet
In the last couple of years since the initial release of the classic flower bouquet in 2021, many LEGO fans have been clamoring for more flower arrangements and bouquets. The new wildflower bouquet provides just what these fanatics are looking for. This may be the perfect date or even solo activity. Building it is not only a great way to engage in some creativity, but it also creates an undying bouquet for you to display as a centerpiece after the building process is complete. What more could we ask LEGO for?

This modular building set really goes above and beyond and is perfect for the musician who also has a knack for constructing. The jazz club set features a nightclub with a jazz singer, bassist, and drummer, a rooftop garden, a pizzeria, and an office space. Not to mention how aesthetically pleasing this set is, making it all around the perfect trophy for a musician to have to highlight their talent and express their creativity.

One is the classic buggy camper van complete with two outhouses. The second is an ice cream shop + a sand beach buggy, and the third is a double-decker beach villa. This set is incredibly unique, and having versatile ways of building guarantees that you will never lose a place or purpose for it.
