It’s been a memorable year to say the least. We saw the launch of the biggest Star Wars LEGO set ever (which was also the most expensive set ever), a Nintendo Game Boy replica, a new Pirates of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow Pirate ship, and much more. Indeed, LEGO probably launched around 1000 new sets this year, but we’ve selected a handful that we consider to be the best of the best.

Our Favorite LEGO Sets of 2025

LEGO Icons: Star Trek: USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D (10356) / $399.99 / November 28, 2025 / Order at LEGO: The first-ever large-scale LEGO set from the Star Trek universe (The Next Generation, specifically) released for Black Friday 2025 and was a massive hit, selling through its initial stock quickly. That’s no surprise as this 3,600-piece set looks amazing and features a detachable saucer section, an opening shuttlebay with two Type-15 shuttlepods, and the full Next Generation bridge crew as 9 minifigures: Picard, Riker, Data, Worf, Geordi, Dr. Crusher, Troi, Wesley Crusher, and Guinan.

LEGO Star Wars: UCS Death Star (75419) / $999.99 / October 1, 2025 / Order at LEGO: The new Death Star set revived its fair share of criticism for the cross section design and the price (mostly the price) but we couldn’t make a list without including the largest Star Wars set and most expensive overall set that LEGO has ever released. The set clocks in at approximately 9,023 pieces and basically touches on all of the major scenes that take place on the space station. You’ll find locations like the Superlaser control room, the trash compactor, the Imperial boardroom, Princess Leia’s cell, and the Emperor’s throne room. There is also a hangar bay, complete with a Lambda-class shuttle. A whopping 38 minifigures help you to relive the scenes.

LEGO Nintendo Game Boy (72046) / $59.99 / October 1, 2025 / Order on Amazon: We wouldn’t be surprised if the LEGO x Nintendo Game Boy replica is the best selling set of the year. It’s a near 1:1 scale replica of the original handheld console that features tactile clicking buttons, a slot for buildable cartridges (including Super Mario Land and Link’s Awakening), and lenticular screens that simulate gameplay / the start screen. You can check out our review of the set right here.

LEGO Icons: Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship (10365) / $379.99 / September 12, 2025 / Order at LEGO: I’m a sucker for LEGO ship builds, and this detailed recreation of the Black Pearl comprising 2,862 pieces is spectacular. It features a dial that can be rotated to deploy the port or starboard cannons and a a rudder that can be turned with the ship’s wheel. You can also open the deck to reveal the detailed captain’s quarters, complete with furnishings. Additional elements include a detachable rowboat and a minifigure figurehead. The hull can also be separated at the waterline to depict the ship in full sailing mode. It comes with 8 minifigures including Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, Hector Barbossa, Gibbs, Cotton, Anamaria, and Marty. You can check out our review here.

LEGO One Piece: The Baratie Floating Restaurant (75640) / $329.99 / August 1, 2025 / Order at LEGO: I said I love ship builds, and the One Piece collection has a great one with the Going Merry Pirate Ship, but the crown jewel of the new One Piece theme is the 3,402-piece build of the iconic fish-shaped restaurant ship. The pier in front of the fish-shaped sea-born restaurant allows builders to dock the Going Merry and recreate Zoro and Mihawk’s tense sword battle, with unique play functions.

LEGO Ideas: Minifigure Vending Machine (21358) / $179.99 / June 1, 2025 / Order at LEGO: The licensed sets are all well and good, but I really love to see something new and creative now and then. The LEGO Ideas program delivered this year with a fully functional, retro-style vending machine built from 1,343 pieces. It uses a complex internal coin mechanism to dispense 16 capsules containing pieces to build a minifigure. The minifigures in the set bring the nostalgia with themes that include Castle, Paradisa, and Fabuland, Classic Space explorers (4 of the figures were selected via a LEGO Ideas fans’ poll). There’s even a minifigure of Rob Vangansewinkel, the LEGO Ideas Fan Designer behind this ingenious set.

LEGO Icons: The Lord of the Rings: The Shire (10354) / $269.99 / April 2, 2025 / Order at LEGO: Though not as elaborate as previously released LEGO sets in the LOTR lineup, The Shire is a beautiful 2,017-piece recreation of Bag End.
