If you're the type that wants to snap things together and see what happens, the Crafting Box Set is a perfect addition to your Lego collection. From Redstone elements to TNT, every bit and block in this set can combine with other biomes to form something original and all your own. If you're in need of a gigantic set with everything from towns and monsters to heroes and watchtowers, the Village Building Kit might be calling your name. This 1,600 piece set may not take a village to raise it, but may very well require a lot of your time and dedication in the building process. With so many individual pieces and buildings, this set is perfect for custom builds and beginning new adventures with each tear-down. We all need a place to get away from it all once in awhile, so why not take a break from the world with the Snow Hideout Building Kit? This smaller, inexpensive set features a snowscape escape that can build directly into other sets or stand alone.
If the cold never bothered you anyway, grab your snow golem and set out for icy adventure. Every good adventure needs a fierce foe to overcome, and the Ender Dragon Set lets you build a villain worth its weight in Redstone. This set features a cadre of Endermen figures, a sandstone dueling ground to set the scene of battle, and the massive Ender Dragon, ready to defend the dragon egg clutch. The dragon itself is worth the price of admission, but the epic arena is just icing on the dragon-based cake. The Micro World sets are tiny bits of awesome, but none are as cool or haunting as The Nether Set. This micro-scale Lego model has flying Ghasts, patrolling Pigmen, and a compact size that combines in big ways with other sets. These micro-mobs pack a wallop, so be prepared for anything if you're planning to set foot through the portal and take on an adventure of a different size. Need a hero with fresh looks and brand-new weapons? Get yourself a Steve who can do both with this skin pack.
This pack includes additional shovels, axes, swords, and a few new looks to fit any adventuring occasion. Sometimes the only thing left to do is storm the fortress, or in the case of the Fortress Building Kit, construct the fortress before tearing it all down. Containing almost 1,000 pieces, the Fortress Kit has massive walls, looming watchtowers, and a plethora of skeletons ready to do battle. Tree-top adventures await those cracking open the Jungle Tree House Kit. This vertical abode features many crafting and accessory elements, trap-doors for fending off attacks, and multiple avenues of construction. Never has 700 pieces of blocky goodness felt like such an adventure. Customize this set to your heart's content, and prepare to keep the Creeper hordes at bay. Since we started at The End, why not end at The First Night? This set is as good as any to start your Lego Minecraft adventures, featuring all the essentials to begin a block-based quest.

VIP members in Australia and New Zealand couldn't enter for "unspecified operational reasons," and everyone was limited to just one entry per day, further limiting the pool of potential winners. In the end, only 750 were ever made. Released in 2007, the Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon is rare because it's the most expensive Lego set ever produced ($499.99) and the second largest (5195 pieces), meaning it's harder to find complete used sets. Lego stopped manufacturing it in 2009 and sold out of it in July 2010, meaning you'll have to pay about $4,000 to a collector to get a copy that's MISB (Mint in Sealed Box). See also: the 2008 Death Star, the second-most expensive set Lego ever offered ($399.99).Newer expensive sets include the The Disney Castle and the Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters, both $349.00. Like the Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon, this gorgeous Taj Mahal model is hard to come by mainly because it's so expensive. When Lego released it in 2008, it retailed for $299.99, which isn't that bad, really, considering it's the largest set they've ever produced at a whopping 5922 pieces (that's only 5 cents per piece).
Since Lego stopped making it in 2011, it will cost you at least $2,000 to get a mint set. So Lego probably just mixed their medieval "Castle" theme and their modern "City" theme here to unload some extra unsold parts, right? How else do you explain the reasoning behind this odd set from 1980 that has axe-wielding knights parading down a very 20th-century street. The posters on the castle say it's the "Legoland Carnival," so maybe it's a Renaissance Faire? That would explain the American stop sign. Regardless, the set looks like it would have been a blast to play with, right? Feeding your knights fish and chips after defending the book store from top hat-wearing thugs? Only 5,000 copies of this smug plutocrat were ever made, given away Willy Wonka-style in 2013 as a surprise in the tenth incarnation of Lego's Minifigures blind bags. Unlike regular minifigs made with Lego's standard acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic, Mr. Gold thinks he's better than everyone else and has a chrome gold finish.
Sometimes the rarity of a particular Lego set is all about the minifigs. That's the case with the elusive and now absurdly expensive 2003 Star Wars Cloud City, which features four minifigs found only in this set, including a unique printing of fan favorite Bob Fett. It's also the first time fans could get their hands on a tiny Lando Calrissian, one of the early examples of Lego making a black minifig. It's bad enough that only 20,000 copies of this sweet remote-controlled 2013 Lego Technic 4x4 were ever manufactured, but Lego also decided to give all 20,000 copies a unique numbered license plate. So even if you and your friends were fortunate enough to snatch one up, your buddy might have a more impressive plate, such as the incredible "1 of 20,000." 8 + - Photo: LEGO/Bricklink Only 10,000 lucky collectors found this shiny C-3PO in specially marked Lego Star Wars-themed sets back in 2007. Rarer still are the 14 karat, solid-gold C-3PO minifigs that Lego gave away to five fans in a contest that same year to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars.
