The TOP 10 Best LEGO Sets of 2024!

[@jtslegovids1217]

I have to say the Lego DnD deserves to be in the conversation for the best set for the year!

[@eternalgamer9270]

I can see it😌

[@pinobluevogel6458]

The CMF series as a whole is my best set of 2024 easily. Only 2 of the figures are not something I would buy if I'd choose them, but they aren't that bad either. While the 10 other figures are just chef's kiss good.

[@KingChedda]

No it’s trash

[@maaarte23]

Notre Dame is top 3 for me personally. Such a beautiful set when finisht and I loved how the building experience was exactly like they build it in real life. And it’s was fairly cheap too.

[@PrickGrimes]

Its so unappreciated

[@BlueGloveBricks]

“Cheaper Lego sets…” Also, I think another honorable mention would be the nightmare before Christmas set, and maybe even the pealy bone?

[@HondaOhnaka]

@@BlueGloveBricks #1 thing I'd buy way more lego if it was probably 20-30% cheaper

[@IvanAntolic]

Interesting, I buy if it’s more expensive since the sets are better

[@IvanAntolic]

There are enough cheap sets

[@gmooney77]

Pealy bone to me is a 10/10 set. For the price it might be one of the best things I've seen in the last couple years. I have ZERO interest in the theme, but that thing is an awesome display piece

[@captainsaveahoe976]

Thank you

[@shaynepd]

Thanks 🙏

[@armaanchorpa6739]

tysm

[@TakeraYT]

so glad you gave the kingfisher some love, for the price its one of the best sets weve gotten, build is awesome and its very awesomely priced

[@GreatShinob1W0lf]

1) Dune Ornithopter 2) Baradur 3) Jaws

[@beng9520]

Can we have a ‘If Lego didn’t send me all these sets’ opinion please lol

[@pinobluevogel6458]

I agree with this sentiment, though we have to cut him some amount of slack for reducing the overall average set price from ludicrously expensive, to just very expensive. And he even included the Camera, which was the only value set on the list at just 20 bucks.

[@Zagiii18]

Nah we cant this chanel is the biggest lego extension on youtube. Everything is awesome🤷‍♂️

[@SO-ym3zs]

I don't take anything a Lego Advertising Network KZbinr says too seriously. They're essentially getting paid by Lego to promote Lego.

[@grahamnlegos]

@@pinobluevogel6458dawg he did that so he could say they’re not all expensive

[@pinobluevogel6458]

@grahamnlegos It's a popular set for sure. I don't care one bit about sets that cover real life objects, or Brickheadz, or any IP based Lego except maybe LotR, but they are for sure things other people do enjoy .. even this dinky camera.

[@Confusedwolf]

Just bought Barad Dur today!

[@colbyentzminger217]

Enjoy! I prefer the finished build over Rivendell tbh

[@Lego_Lab_Productions]

Congrats, loved it myself.

[@moonshoes11]

I finished building mine last week. So much fun to build. Enjoy! ✌️

[@JustAGuy4U]

Bara dûr so cool

[@mikelillyart]

The Top Ten '24 Lego... - The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr (incredible looking fantasy build with great details). - NASA Artemis Space Launch System - The Milky Way Galaxy (a beautiful pleasant surprise, with so many unusual elements and colors coming together to form an interesting relief sculpture). - Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter - Modular Space Station - Tuxedo Cat (sculpting and shaping just excellent). - The Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron (all the Avengers in one nice battle playset). - Millennium Falcon (midi-scaled and a beautifully detailed desktop model. Top notch!). - Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit (great build orrery - science, learning, engineering all in one!). - Imperial Dropship vs. Rebel Scout Speeder Honorable Mentions... - War Machine Mech Armor - Micro Rocket Launchpad (just TOO cute!) - Batman vs. The Joker Gift Set (GREAT price and set of Batman models).

[@thomasbossie2174]

Tuxedo Cat was by far the best value and also a good build

[@pinobluevogel6458]

If you count building experience, display value and the number of unique pieces I think the value is there. Still expensive though, not exactly what I would call a set with great value. More like a great set, where value is one of its lesser qualities.

[@tommurto9258]

For me, Notre Dame was easily the best set of the year.

[@Gusten1986]

Its really good. Top 5 for me

[@sedrikberger7550]

Was just thinking about when this is gonna drop!

[@SolidBrixStudios]

Exactly a year from last year's Top 10!

[@pinobluevogel6458]

@@SolidBrixStudios It's a little early, it's not even December yet?

[@zemo8214]

Titan Dragon Mech snubbed 😔

[@DarthTach]

On yet another LEGO channel. Just because it's a Ninjago set doesn't mean it isn't worthy.

[@SolidBrixStudios]

Ninjago < Monkie Kid 🫣

[@glukkogobrrr]

Woah, rage bating much? (Also i fully agree too many people clance over that set)

[@is_cleetus5445]

why is the Cole titan mech so underrated, like even tho its the most impressive mech its just viewed as "some other ninjago set"

[@jakey007]

Perfect list as usual, only one of these I have is the dune ornithopter, fantastic build, basically a technic set, more complex than expected, that would be my no.1.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

That is the only thing holding me back, that it's a technic set most of all. I love Dune as a setting, read all the books multiple times and saw the movies, but this feels like a one-off thing that I wouldn't do anything with once I built it. Having a theme you can expand and collect over a longer period of time seems like a better investment and then the technic seems like it is something I don't enjoy building too.

[@ClickWithBricks]

I agree on many sets you mentioned but I would definitely add the iconic Endurance! It’s beautifully made and an homage to Ernest Shackleton - an exceptional Leader.

[@thewoodster2005]

I also really liked the Family Tree once I populated it. I thought the black and scooby doo colors were so weird. But with these little pictures everywhere it’s so sweet and really lets the pictures shine.

[@burakbener4843]

1. Barad-dur 2. Jaws 3. Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter 4. Jabba's Sail Barge 5. Dungeons and Dragons Red Dragons tale 6. Milano 7. Botanical Garden 8. Artemis Rocket Launch 9. Invisible Hand 10. The Burrow

[@nikulus2840]

The Invisible Hand is a perfect display set.

[@Gusten1986]

Really good list!

[@joehutson4928]

The Costco Lego suitcase is also a full sized carry on case. I bought one and used it for Thanksgiving. Got a lot of giddy smiles and conversations from people while we waited for the flight.

[@popcornvader2145]

1. Clone Trooper vs Droids battlepack 2. Captain Rex’s Y wing microfighter 3. Battle Droid carrier

[@Genie_Weeny]

Only the battle pack deserves to be the list the other two are good but not nearly as good as other sets

[@popcornvader2145]

@ nah this is a personal list, accessibility is big for me, and the battle droid carrier wins tons of points for nostalgia for me.

[@BrickinRidiculous]

We have to let some sets SIT on shelves next year to get them to lower their prices!

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Seeing how many people love these overpriced sets and still buy them on day 1, this is not going to happen sadly enough.

[@BrickinRidiculous]

@@pinobluevogel6458 If only 😭

[@margaridatorres1273]

From this list I have the camera retro 📷 really great for display. My favourite set from this year that I would love to have is the Notre Dame. My jaw dropped when I first saw it displayed in a Lego store

[@thomasedwards6641]

I really like the botanical garden just not for that price.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Now this is exactly my thought. It is about 100-150 dollars too expensive for my liking. Good looking set though. Maybe get the 50 dollar friends version and modify that, seems like a better option if you like modding existing sets.

[@therandomnarwhal]

Suitcase giveaway goes crazy 😭 nice top ten list though

[@User_Error385]

This is agreeeable except the botanical garden

[@abelbogale6806]

Near perfect list

[@lssproductions3180]

While I got a lot of sets, and we still have a month to go, my top 10 are (in order I got the sets) - Shadow's Escape - Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter - Dragon Stone Shrine - Forest Animals: Red Fox - Wolf Mask Shadow Dojo - Bumblebee - Source Dragon of Motion - Wild Safari Animals - Lord of the Rings: Barad-dur (My top set) - Imperial Star Destroyer The two sets that could make it into my top 10 for me are The Milano and the Great Deku Tree (2-in-1)

[@QuiGonJeans]

I only purchase LEGO SW sets but these other sets from other themes are awesome, really liked a lot of the sets LEGO put out this year! The suitcase is sick… I’d buy one in a second.

[@samsufy8945]

Construction sets are very good, nice to put them on this top.

[@a.r.canlas5433]

The Construction sets 👍👍

[@TheCoreyHallPodcast]

Solid list. Have a happy new years!

[@jonasl6545]

The Nightmare Before Christmas and Dune is my favourite sets of the year! :)

[@AguBricks]

The sets brought a ton of new pieces too! Especially Barad'Hur with the Orcs helmets.

[@kidcollectable4043]

Awesome picks! What stand do you have for your Star Destroyer? It looks awesome!

[@Adontahulio.882]

the cole titan mech is one of the best mechs of all time, and honestly one of the best sets of this year in my opinion

[@Cyaaaaaaksmsm]

9:42 waht stand are you using thinking about buying it

[@dglaze2265]

Using my bright yellow Costco suitcase this week while going with my family to Lego land lol

[@elliotpalmer271]

My 2024 Top 10: 1. Barad-dûr 2. Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale 3. The Milky Way Galaxy 4. Medieval Town Square 5. Jaws 6. Atreides Royal Ornithopter 7. NASA Artemis Space Launch System 8. Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull 9. Forest Animals: Red Fox 10. Millennium Falcon (75375)

[@pinobluevogel6458]

My respect goes out to you for putting 2 of my favorites on your list (which are unexpectedly absent from many here, different crowd) Those are the Medieval Town Square, the ONLY castle themed release this year if we discount a few CMF figures. And it was a banger too, a few minor downsides, but still a top set. Then the Red Fox, that one had 3 great modes you could build and I love all of them. Lots of great detail pieces included too.

[@neilrusling-je6zo]

The Cat, the cat was packed with interesting building techniques and had me convinced 2 or 3 times that they had it wrong, plus it was all quality building with no endless repetition. And it was just 90 smackers, cant go wrong!

[@pinobluevogel6458]

90 smackeroos is a reasonable price for such a good building experience and great end result. Some of the pieces itself are quite unique too.

[@vhacker71]

I was all about GWPs this year as I am running out of room for my sets. So the micro houses of the world and micro sets are great. My number one set I bought was the Friends Botanical Garden.

[@AleksaKoprivica-Adams]

(Mordor music sets in) YES I am a major Lord of the Rings fan but missed my chance with the OG sets and can't afford the new ones so im really happy seeing them back

[@pinobluevogel6458]

There's always hope that they will revisit the theme with a small line of inexpensive sets. It is what everyone wants basically, they cannot keep on refusing to release what everyone wants, right?

[@Mahtioh]

Not sure if its top 10 worthy but I think the Creator 3 in 1 Giraffe set is worth an honourable mention. All 3 of the builds are very convincing and scale well together.

[@slaviclad9705]

Barad dur is the best without any doubt, it was such a fun build

[@PhotoCNC.allday]

Great list! Def agree with the city ranking! I don't even do construction and I want them! My favorite I got this year was the lighthouse!

[@dfwbricks7053]

I think my favorite set this year was Mountain Fortress!

[@pinobluevogel6458]

This would be my favorite set too if I'd be able to buy it. The price though, it is insane.

[@louhimus]

Only set I bought this year. And only set ive bought in many years was dune ornithopter and it was amazing. Loving it still

[@robin1158]

glad to see a top 10 list thats not just limited to expensive 18+ sets, pretty good spread here overall. city really surprised me this year with how good its lineup was so i was happy to see a couple sets get a shoutout here. some other highlights from this year imo that didn't get mentioned were the dnd set and cmf, the fortnite battle bus, shadow the hedgehog bike, modular natural history museum (up for debate whether it counts as a 2024 set but whatever), and the friends bed and breakfast (another theme that continues to hit it out of the park and get little recognition).

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Love some of the mentions here. The battle bus was a bit expensive, but has a ton of unique minifigures. Not bad for a new theme. Also, shouting out that friends set is good. Just like the friends Botanical garden, it might have minidolls and some kid-like elements, but it can be easily modded to fit a lego minifig scale city and you can probably get it at a discount quite easily.

[@generalgrievous4267]

This year there is one set to rule them all

[@masquatch]

Barad dur is awesome. I have that and Rivendell paired together! I got mine on release night and luckily my eye isn’t drooping at all

[@Felix-w4b6n]

I’m VERY glad that you chose barad dur as best set of the year

[@reubenmitchell5269]

Shackletons endurance surely?

[@tomasfavetto5040]

Is it just me, or did this feel like a Lego ad perfectly timed for black friday?

[@bobbyc912]

No surprise with #1 just a sight to behold. Not crazy about the botanical garden and ornithopter. Replace them with Jabba’s sail barge and Endurance

[@franekpyka3356]

Yes, definitely Barad-dur is the best set which was made to rule them all like Rivendell before!🥇 And only 4 days left to grand finale of building geonosis! Can't wait! 😁 To be sure. What time will you upload the last episode?

[@BeardedBrickHead]

I do like your choices but I would have included Jabba's Sail Barge in the conversation as well. I know it is pricey but it is a really incredible looking set. Great video.

[@Alex-zi1nb]

I was so excited for barge but ended up passing. It's cool, but for that price the sarlac pit should have been included..not 80 dollar extra. And the mini figs should have all been movie accurate

[@neilrusling-je6zo]

That Jaws set though...to have Robert Shaw my hero in minifigure, that might just win out over the cat.

[@chuckturdburger4612]

Your personal choices are MUCH better than Tiago's personal choices. That is a fact.

[@drdking0]

The Lego McLaren P1 and D&D Castle make my list, both were amazing, super fun builds.

[@fabriziogiovinazzi744]

Not having the lego D&D set and minifigs in there is wild

[@pinobluevogel6458]

Especially the D&D CMF minifigures. This list doesn't really look at price or value for money either, so including the Red Dragon set too should have been a doozy.

[@MileHighJedi303]

Seriously incredible suitcase. Definitely feels more adult than the ones at costco. The dungeons and Dragon's set and C.M.F's are my choice for set of the year.

[@plpa8250]

I share the same opinion about the Family tree. It's underrated.

[@Ducky_Gamer-f]

Honorable mention the Tudor stile house its an amazing set especialy If you have a citit like me. The minifigures and build are amazing and the play features and interior are really good

[@drbaggy]

For VFM - you should have included Giraffe and/or red fox...

[@J-loopes]

We need a Death Star UCS and a regular one as a Lego

[@imagesbyrina]

Great diverse list! Thanks for this. Botanical Gardens is top! C400 is on my top list too 🤓 ha ha! A different list! 😅🎥

LEGO should make Isengard if they haven't already.

[@Peter_nzl97]

Cole's Titan Dragon Mech (71821)! I'm normally not one to purchase Ninjago but if you like practical mechs and grew up with Exo-Force or Gunpla...for what you get with the price too. Amazing! 😎🤙

[@DarkTakanuva]

No Cole's Titan mech? even as an honorable mention? damn

[@SneezingEagle]

Currently building Barad-Ur great set, excellent building process so far. The biggest set I've bought so far and definitely delivers value for money

[@Kopaka-ep7ug]

My jaw dropped when I saw the DUNE ornithopter for the first time

[@michaelme1548]

This is probably not a popular view but I don’t care for the Barad-dur model. It looks pretty accurate but I don’t think it works well with lego. When I saw it I didn’t think “that looks great,” I thought “why does that not look right?”

[@richgilmore3499]

Long time watcher (and subscribed), first time commenting. Love your review, and agree with LOTR as number 1. Suggestion…would love to see you do a ‘category’ based top 10…but to save time, maybe Top 5. Sub $100 $100-$200 Then $200+ Not sure how many sets you’ve built this year, but I’ve built maybe 100 sets. Star Wars, LOTR and cars are my thing for LEGO. I always look forward to your reviews before I make a purchase.

[@garypoppe5312]

I was curious do you save the boxes your sets come in and how

[@Gardi93]

A lot of collectors have storage units for their boxes and extra sets

[@elliott934]

Hey David was curious where you got your shelves behind you. Would love to get them to display my collection. Thanks!

[@8XHuXBgkok]

I bought AT-AT at full price a few months ago, and now it's on sale. I'm mildly pissed :( Anyway, a great list! I love my Ornithopter. Its incredible functionality will not see its peers anytime soon.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

To be fair, if you can actually afford to buy the AT-AT at full price, you should be happy that you have so much disposable income. It sucks that you missed the sale, but if you were going to buy it anyway, there was a risk it was going to dissappear from the shelves without ever getting a discount. (causing you to have to spend even more on the aftermarket)

[@Tomillios]

For the clone trooper battle pack I am definitely picking up 3 or 4, the star destroyer I am not so sure about yet? Because of the flat bottom and I am not super amazed by the minifigs. They're good but could be better, I'm more leaning towards buying the coruscant gunship!

[@micahthiele1360]

That's interesting about the eye. I bought the set when it released, so it's been on display for over 5 months and I haven't experienced this. I wonder if I will have to deal with this sometime down the road.

[@M0torsagmannen]

top 3 sets for me that i bought and built this year. "VTOL Heavy Cargo LT81" great value functions and looks. Ornithopter, a very solid mix of display and play, some of the best functions integrated in a systtem set UCS Tie Interceptor, is a bit biased since it is my favourite SW fighter. but i think it is a great model that i had much fun building. Barad-Dûr would pobably be up there, but im waiting for a good deal on it since it is so pricy
