50 LEGO State Dioramas Take You on the Ultimate Road Trip Listen, Lego has always been cool, but the big success of The Lego Movie has only reminded us all that the brick-building line is more than just a toy -- it’s a way of life! The bottom line is we at IGN love Lego -- always have, probably always will. And while there are so many awesome Lego sets out there, past and present, the following 10 are the Lego sets that truly rocked our world. Imperial Flagship While Lego has been doing pirates since the 1980s -- as well as Pirates (the Johnny Depp kind) more recently -- this beauty is surely the, ahem, flagship of the theme. Like most of the items on this list, the Imperial Flagship makes for a great display piece (assuming you’ve gotten past the whole “I’m too old to play with Lego publicly” thing). It’s also a nice reminder that not all Lego collections need to be based on franchises. 9 Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon Look, there are a lot of excellent Star Wars Lego sets, and there are a lot of excellent Star Wars spaceship Lego sets.
Some would say the Star Destroyer should be on this list, or the Super Star Destroyer, or the Imperial Shuttle (sorry Peer!). But in the end, you gotta go with the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy, Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon! There have actually been about seven different Lego takes on the Corellian freighter, but the Ultimate Collector's set from 2007 and its 5100-plus pieces takes the prize. It also cost $500 at that time, which makes it the most expensive Lego set (in retail) ever. 8 The Batcave Lego has given us some really nice superhero sets over the years, with the company creating both Marvel and DC collections. But this Batcave set from 2006 is one of the finest examples of this partnership. Also called The Batcave: The Penguin and Mr. Freeze's Invasion, the set features over a thousand pieces, a chamber for Bruce Wayne to magically switch into his bat-costume, a bat-computer station, a vehicle repair bay, and of course several minifigures (good guys and bad). A different Batcave set was released in 2012, though this one remains a favorite if only because it was a nice preview of what the Lego Batman video game would be like two years later.
7 Technic Grand Prix Racer As part of the Technic Lego theme, the Grand Prix Racer -- which came out just last year -- isn’t simply a building set, but also features moving parts and “realistic functions” like independent all-wheel suspension, moving pistons, and steering capabilities. You can also power it up by adding a motor set (sold separately!) to this two-foot long baby, or convert it into a race truck. As for where you can play with this thing, you might need the Technic Mobile Crane to build some roads… 6 Galaxy Explorer Spaceship! While Benny “the 1980-something space guy” from The Lego Movie finally did get to build his ultimate spaceship during that film’s climax, for those of us who were around way back when, the original version of that vehicle still holds fond memories. The Galaxy Explorer, first released in 1979, was a jewel in Lego’s Space line of the era, though it must be noted that Benny was apparently not a part of that ship’s original crew, who were red and white spacemen.
But for those completists who need the movie version too, Benny’s Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! set is coming this June. Read on for more Lego goodness...

Caterham Seven 620R Reviews - page 2Home > Features > By Kyle Schurman on February 2, 2017 The Lego Movie was a popular movie for adults and children alike a few years ago. And although there were plenty of great characters, Batman stole the show. Any doubts about that were laid to rest when Warner Animation Group announced the Caped Crusader Lego character would be the headliner in his own show, The Lego Batman Movie, set to open Feb. 10. If you’re going to create a movie starring toys, you’d better have some cool companion toys ready to go with the movie’s release. And when you’re combining an iconic super hero character in Batman with an iconic toy brand in Lego, the options for movie related toys have a ton of potential.
Here are the best Lego Batman Movie toys available. If you’re looking for the most comprehensive Lego Batman Movie toy, Arkham Asylum is a great option. It ships with a police car, the asylum building, and a dozen figurines. And you’ll receive a collection of five classic Batman villain figurines in their orange Arkham jumpsuits, including Joker, Riddler, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Two-Face. There’s plenty of great detail in this Lego kit! The figurine for Batman’s sidekick, Robin, is included in the Batmobile Lego toy kit. The Batmobile has a monster truck mode and a removable cockpit roof, which allows the Dynamic Duo to join the fight in a hurry. However, the Batcave Break-In Lego toy is probably our favorite. Not only do you receive some of the cool tech featured in the Batcave, but you have access to multiple Bat suits and you can transform Bruce Wayne into Batman. The Penguin and his Duckmobile is included as well. Best of all, you’ll receive an Alfred figurine here.
(Who doesn’t love Alfred?) You also can purchase The Scuttler Lego kit, which is a Batman vehicle with a net shooter and hidden jet pack for Batman. Figurines included are Batman, Joker, Poison Ivy, the Gordons, and Dick Grayson. Additionally, Batman figurines are offered in nearly every Lego set related to the movie available, including the villain Lego sets. After all, each villain needs a super hero to battle against. Just to be clear, we’re not here to debate the best Catwoman portrayal of all time. (That’s because it’s Michelle Pfeifer, no debate required.) But in The Batman Lego Movie, we’ll entertain a debate about whether Catwoman has the best ride among the villains with her Catcycle. The fat tire motorcycle toy includes figurines of Catwoman, Robin, and Batgirl, but it’s one of the few kits without a Batman figurine. If ever there was a villain for whom Lego is the perfect medium, it’s Clayface, who’s supposed to have a blocky kind of a look.
You can swap out Clayface’s hands with a rapid shooter or a hammer with the Clayface Splat Attack Lego kit. Mayor McCaskill and Batman figurines are included with this kit. It’s no surprise the coolest villain in the Batman series has the coolest set of Lego toys for The Lego Batman Movie. The Joker’s Notorious Low Rider is a purple vehicle with a bouncing suspension and shooters in the trunk. And the Joker has a balloon backpack as another separate Lego set that allows him to use it like a jet pack. No other villain has two toy sets. Killer Croc rides in the back of its Tail-Gator vehicle, although there is room for a figurine in the cabin. In addition to the large Killer Croc figurine (who, thankfully, is wearing pants), you’ll receive Batman, Zebra-Man, and Tarantula figurines. The Mr. Freeze Ice Attack Lego kit includes a freeze gun and a power plant. The Mr. Freeze figurine looks nothing like Arnold Schwarzenegger. (However, don’t let that hold you back: You can still say ultra clever lines like, “You are not sending me to the cooler!” or “Let’s kick some ice!” while playing with the Ice Attack set.)
The Penguin has always been all about style, and his Lego vehicle, the Arctic Roller, fits him perfectly. The Arctic Roller includes spring loaded missiles as well as a mini-escape pod in the trunk. Additionally, the Penguin’s Duckmobile — yes, it looks like a rubber ducky — is included as part of the Batcave Break-in Lego set mentioned earlier. I freely admit the Riddler has never been my favorite Batman character. (I blame the creepy Frank Gorshin portrayal in the Batman TV series from the 1960s; scared the bejesus out of me as a kid.) I won’t hold that against the Riddle Racer vehicle Lego toy, though. The green car includes spring loaded shooters that flip up from the car as well as plenty of dynamite to launch. One of the oddest options among the best Lego Batman Movie toys is the Scarecrow Special Delivery Lego kit, which features the Scarecrow villain figurine driving a pizza delivery bike and cart. But instead of a large combo pizza with extra mushrooms to fill Batman’s craving for the munchies, Scarecrow is trying to deliver a fear gas canister.
The Batman figurine included in this kit has two Batarangs. If you want a large number of figurines from The Lego Batman Movie in one box, the toy maker is offering a set of mini figurines that has numerous limited edition characters, including multiple iterations of Batman. If you’re looking for a slightly less expensive toy option — or if you just have to have every Lego toy associated with The Batman Lego Movie — don’t forget about the Lego polybags. These scaled-down kits may work better for younger children, as they have fewer pieces, and they cost less than $15 … sometimes less than $10.
