Prices on these are insane now, the UCS Falcon is $850 💀

parkranger_old

Pirates of Barracuda Bay converting from a shipwreck to a full ship is so clever

diner_detroit

Galaxy Explorer from 1979 on the list, nostalgia overload 🚀

Nikau Brown

NINJAGO City at #1, the detail in that set is insane. Every room tells a story.

V. Shetty

Rivendell is the most beautiful set I've ever built. 6,000 pieces of pure joy.

Kayla Ward

No Saturn V? It's the best display set LEGO ever made.

captainshopper

Also the Taj Mahal, the original 2008 one was legendary.

Marie Dubois

Assembly Square is the best modular, the dentist's office is hilarious
