LEGO has been around since 1949, and in that time has released some incredible tributes to pop culture. Here are 11 great ways to incorporate your favorite television characters into your building sessions. You probably can’t rebuild the whole town of Springfield (without a lot of creativity and resources, at least) but you can bring the Kwik-E-Mart and the Simpsons’ iconic home to life with official LEGO sets. If you do decide to create the whole town, LEGO also sells minifigs of all your favorite characters. You can’t take down Splinter without the right set of wheels. This turtle van will get Raphael and Michelangelo to the scene of the crime in no time. Donatello and Leonardo are sold separately, but you’ll at least have Vern there to film the action. Thanks to LEGO Ideas, fans have the opportunity to design and suggest different sets for the company to produce. One submission that made it all the way is Leonard and Sheldon's living room from The Big Bang Theory.
Some fun details include Chinese takeout, the instrument panel, and a white board you can play Pictionary on. There are seven minifigs included, so you can probably act out almost any episode with your kit. Mickey Mouse has had a ton of careers over the years, so I guess it makes sense for him to be a mechanic. This set was released in 2000, and at the time cost $20. Today, it’s something of a collector’s item and costs anywhere from $75 to $400. LEGO has a number of sets that include characters from DC Comics, so it’s easy to recreate all your favorite Justice League moments. In this set, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash can save an innocent truck driver from Captain Cold and Gorilla Grodd. Wonder Woman’s ship might not truly be invisible, but at least it’s see-through. Scooby and the gang need their iconic Mystery Machine if they ever want to get to their next haunted location. The set comes with a zombie, spooky tree, and sandwich—the makings of a good mystery.
But Velma and Daphne are unfortunately absent from the kit, so don’t expect it to be solved anytime soon. Viewers of the Nickelodeon cartoon know that Prince Zuko never manages to catch Aang in the show, but when recreated with LEGO pieces, anything can happen; build Zuko’s ship and decide on your own ending. The 722-piece set comes with Aang, Katara, Prince Zuko, a firebender, and a fire nation soldier to help you set up endless scenes of cat and mouse. Ever want to run your own underwater fast food joint? Now you can, and SpongeBob’s your trusty fry-cook. The only thing you need to watch out for is one of Plankton’s crazy schemes to get the secret formula; the set comes with two different robotic minions, so Mr. Krabs has his work cut out for him. Build and race the Mach 5 and Snake Oiler cars that were featured in the Casa Cristo Classic cross-country road rally. The race might be a close one—there’s no Spritle Racer or Chim Chim in the truck to help. OK, so you can’t buy this set just yet.
But it is definitely in the works. The LEGO Group struck a deal with BBC and is moving forward with creating a Doctor Who themed set. Though we don't know what it will look like, one possibility is the LEGO Ideas proposal submitted by Andrew Clark (seen above). The fan realized that a TARDIS could be built using many pieces that already existed in other sets, making it a snap to produce. The Lone Ranger has starred in every medium of entertainment, from radio to international movie. Now you can create your own adventures using this LEGO set, that is technically based off the Disney movie from 2013. It comes with the Lone Ranger’s trusty steed, Silver, and three cavalry soldiers to battle.This website no longer supports Internet Explorer 9 or below, please upgrade to a newer browser.
