That is how Lego made the Ghostbusters car.To end the celebration of the 50 years of the LEGO brick, here are the best sets in history. Handpicked from Lugnet—the biggest LEGO database—based on their popularity, these 229 sets belong to the most iconic lines—LEGOLAND Space, Town, Castle and Pirates—plus three of the most popular ones—LEGO TECHNIC, Star Wars and Racers. From the most significant to the most amazing and complex, from the late '70s to today. We can't get ourselves to pick the Best of the Best. Jump, see them all and decide for yourself (plus the official LEGO video of 50 years of the brick). I remember the first time I played with LEGO bricks. Shiny, perfectly smooth and with that unique smell of plastic, which back then I imagined was probably captured by magic elves in Denmark.
Today it's almost the same—shiny and perfectly smooth, except the elves are now blue-eyed buxom Danish Valkyries in skimpy LEGO swimsuits.As someone who grew in the Golden Age of LEGO, I just can't decide on any particular model as the Best LEGO Set EVER. I have to confess a soft spot for LEGO Space, yes, but also for TECHNIC. And of course, although this is way later in my LEGO career, Star Wars. But the soft spot for all those old models from the late '70s and early '80s is the key here: even if I sound like a total nerd, seeing some of these give me a warm, fuzzy feeling in my tummy—some even make me teary. It's not like the Galaxy Explorer, the Space Command or the big TECHNIC Helicopter were all that special. It's what happened around them what makes them special, the countless hours I spent with my brothers and father building a thousand combinations of vehicles and weird buildings. It's all that fun, all those days of complete and most absolute happiness which comes back just by looking at the box photos of those sets.
And that's what makes them so special, so emotionally charged. They bring back the best in me.Today I marvelled again at the popularity of that simple LEGO brick timeline, and I guess this, the emotional link, must be the reason why LEGO stories are so popular among all our readers. Not because LEGO bricks are cool, which they are, but because they are inevitably linked to intimate memories, to happy memories, the best memories, shared with family or friends or completely personal.For all that: happy birthday LEGO, and thanks for all the bricks. So what's your favorite set? If you can't find it, what are we missing? Tell us in the comments (and don't forget to check Lugnet for all the LEGO sets in all lines in history.

A quick browse of Lego Ideas will show a wide variety of brilliantly designed car sets; however, as any classic car fan knows, for every minute behind the wheel, five are spent in the garage! As such, I've decided to provide a set geared towards the maintenance and repair of your favourite Lego vehicles, including; A two-post vehicle lift, with variable arms and three different positions for your car to sit on,
A large mechanics toolbox, including an assortment of useful tools, A large air compressor, for touching up any damaged paintwork, A small car jack, A hydraulic engine stand, And finally (and most importantly!) a fire extinguisher in case of any small accidents! I think this set would be a great way to display your favourite classic car models (in their natural environment!). If you are a fan of classic cars and Lego, please like and share this set on any Facebook pages, Twitter feeds or websites that you are a part of. The 1990s saw the introduction of many new themes by LEGO, and also the re-release of several popular classic themes thought forgotten, such as Forestmen.LEGO Technic is a subset of LEGO System that, although 100% compatible with standard LEGO Bricks, is based on beams and pegs instead of studded components. The whole point of LEGO Technic is about creating complex, realistic, working machines like the one in this Top Ten List… What would be of a LEGO Technic blog without a top ten list?
I have built a list with the Technic sets I have been more impressed. I have a few of them and I will try for sure to get the rest. So here is the listBecause the Unimog 400 is a big big vehicle which includes Power Functions set and features a pneumatically powered, articulated crane with working grab and a recovery winch on the front. Read here my review of the LEGO 8110 Unimog. You can still buy LEGO Technic 8110 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400 at Amazon but you better hurry up because it is already retired.I could give you a thousand reasons why this model should be here, but you better read my review of this fantastic set and discover it by yourself. You can buy the LEGO Technic 42009 Mobile Crane at Amazon.Because it features a double IR control and lots of Power Function motors. You can buy LEGO Technic 8043: LEGO Power Functions Motorized Excavator at Amazon but the price is plainly nuts.Just look how cool it looks, I couldn’t but buy it. Also it has IR remote control, two L Motors and one of the new servo motors ( no more rubber bands on the steering ).
Read my review of this fantastic set here. You should definitively buy LEGO Technic 9398: 4X4 Crawler at AmazonAlthough it won’t take off the ground it is a really cool looking helicopter and you can add Power Functions so the rotor spins like a real helicopter. This is one of the next model I will buy. Here is my review. I really enjoyed this set. You can order LEGO Technic 9396: Rescue Helicopter now from Amazon. There has been a few great cars on LEGO Technic, like an Enzo Ferrari. This supercar is an example of how cool it can look… although if you google a bit you will see MOC by people that make this car look like a toy. You can buy LEGO Technic 8070: Supercar from Amazon.You won’t believe how big and cool this car is. When I built it I was simply amazed. In my opinion one of the best LEGO set I have ever built in price/quality. Don’t miss my review. It is not yet late to buy it at Amazon. I am sure you won’t regret it.This is maybe the coolest set ever released by LEGO in the Technic range.
With Mindstorms you can create your own robots and machines. It is so nice that I already have two EV3 and one NXT 2.0 Here you have some examples of robot I have built like the Line Follower or the Color Sorter Go and buy one before you regret about it at AmazonI am a 100% serious. This is one of the most enlightening Technic sets that I have touch. When you build it you have the sense of understanding. You are one with the LEGO. And what the hell… the experience only cost 9€. You must read my review of the Model A and Model B. Go and check if Amazon still has it in stock because it is worth every pound you spend on it.When LEGO retired the Unimog they had a new secret weapon. This is the new set that add Power functions and pneumatic pumps for a fraction of the price of the Unimog. Right now available at Amazon I couldn’t end this list without a bike. And this bike is at the same time wonderfull and affordable. You can’t be serious? Did you see this beauty?
