What can FLL Teams expect in this season Exploring the relationship between people and animalsOr you could bark, quack, or squeak, because the 2016 ANIMAL ALLIESSM season is all about our furry, feathered, and finned friends. In the 2016 FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge teams of students age 9 to 16 will look into the eyes of our ANIMAL ALLIESSM. What might become possible when we learn to help each other? FLL challenges kids to think like scientists and engineers. During the ANIMAL ALLIESSM season, teams will build, test, and program an autonomous robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS® to solve a set of missions in the Robot Game. They will also choose and solve a real-world question in the Project. Throughout their experience, teams will operate under FLL’s signature set of Core Values. From August 30th, 2016 the detailed challenge missions will be published for FLL Robot Game & FLL Research Project on our websites. Sign up for this years challenge from April 4th to Oct 14th online.

We're constantly thinking of serving you better.In an online auction house far, far away, a model of the Millennium Falcon is about to become the world's most expensive Lego set. In the Star Wars films , Han Solo’s beloved ship is often dismissed as a 'piece of junk' but in the real world it’s proved a good investment. The limited edition Lego model of the Millenium Falcon from 2007 is expected to make between £3,000 and £4,000 on an online auction site - more than 10 times its original price. The iconic set - unopened and in mint condition - was originally priced at £340 and has shot up in value since because it was never played with. Read more: What are the best Lego sets for 2016? This 5,195-piece set,the largest Lego Star Wars model ever sold, was released as part of the “Ultimate Collector Series”. Investment experts have suggested that Lego sets represent a better investment than gold, with average prices increasing 12% every year since 2000. Billed as the Ultimate Collector’s Edition when it went on sale in 2007, the iconic Lego Falcon has become become highly sought thanks to the release of Star Wars: The Force Awaken in December.
The ship, a fan favourite, plays a prominent role in the new film. Gerben van Ijke, web auctioneer Catawiki’s specialist Lego expert, said: “This particular set is a collector’s dream as the 2007 Millennium Falcon is not only one of the most spectacular pieces ever made by Lego but also one of the most sought after. "To find one that is still in a mint condition, unopened box is incredibly rare and makes this lot particularly special. We expect to see a flurry of bids when this goes to auction." All this, and it can still do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs... The auction will run from February 19 to the 26.LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3product_label_list_price_accessibility 30 Reviews12345678910111213141516171819201Warning!DanishEnglishFIND MORE PRODUCTS LIKE THISMINDSTORMS®RoboticsCreate and command robots that do what you want with LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3! LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 Reviews - page 2In order to compile a list of the biggest and most challenging Lego sets, it was necessary to narrow down the criteria.
First, the sets have to be mass produced by LEGO. In other words, we’re not considering any giant custom sets like the 6-meter Death Star Trench or insane 150,000 piece recreation of Helm’s Deep from Lord of the Rings. Second, we excluded expandable sets such as the Modular Building series that you can keep adding on to like the Town Hall (10224), Green Grocer (10185), and the newly released Palace Cinema (10232) that can be combined together to lay out enormous Lego city scenes. Furthermore, to define what we mean by “biggest” the list considers those Lego sets with the largest amounts of pieces and/or final completed size of the set. As far as “challenging,” most of the sets listed below are suggested for builders aged 16 or older, although I’ve personally seen kids half that age cranking out 1,000+ piece sets with hardly any difficulty. Some of the sets listed below are still available at Lego stores worldwide, while some are out of production. But you may find retired sets listed for outrageous prices on Amazon or eBay, though, those ones are arguable the best LEGO sets.
Once Lego stops selling an item, or if produced in limited quantities, third parties grab those products and jack up the price depending on demand. You’ll find Lego sets a purchase limit per customer on certain items. Last week we created a list of must-have movie-themed Lego sets. Now, here’s a list of the most challenging and biggest lego sets, ordered somewhat subjectively but with consideration of total number of pieces combined with level of difficulty. By the way, the number in the parenthesis represents the Item Number in case you decide to go on a hunt for one of these Lego sets. It’d be hard to argue against Lego’s Star Wars Collector’s Millennium Falcon as being one of the most challenging and largest Lego sets (it also probably ranks as our #1 LEGOs for adults). The $499 Millennium Falcon is suggested for ages 16-years and older but younger kids can probably get through it with some supervision. The highly detailed scale model is made up of a whopping 5,195 pieces but only 5 mini-figures including Luke, Princess Leia, Han, Chewbacca, and a stormtrooper.
Why the set doesn’t include C-3PO and R2-D2 mini-figures is sort of a mystery (weren’t they on the Falcon during the mission to rescue Leia?), but nevertheless the ship itself is more than enough to focus on. The Collector’s Millennium Falcon was released in 2007 and retired in 2010, but remains the most-expensive mass-produced Lego set to date. If you need a little break from science fiction-based Star Wars sets you can jump into an architectural project building the Taj Mahal. The $299 set gives you more bang for your buck than the Collector’s Millennium Falcon, boxing a total of 5,922 pieces (about 700 more than the Falcon). What also makes this set a bit more of a challenge for builders is that all the pieces are all generally the same color. This makes it especially difficult for those who like to dump all their Lego pieces into a pile rather than build bag-by-bag. Puzzle builders will attest to the difficulty of puzzles that don’t vary too much in color or patterns.
