LEGO sets often earn a spot on our annual Good Housekeeping Toy Awards because of their durability and quality, and because they make great gifts for kids. In recent years, LEGO has also created sets that appeal to adults who haven't grown out of their love for the building blocks. Some of the sets designed for ages 18 and up are made for display with intricately detailed pieces, including nostalgic movie tie-ins and gorgeous botanicals.

If it's been a minute since you've constructed a LEGO set, the step-by-step visual instructions make it straightforward to put together. Trust us, if you can handle a puzzle, you can build a cool LEGO piece that can be shown off on a shelf. Below, we list Amazon's best-selling and editor-favorite LEGO sets that will make a great standout piece for a collector or a beginner builder.
