LEGO isn’t just for kids. It never was, but now, LEGO knows that, too. So, it’s making more sets with adult builders in mind. Here are the best adult LEGO sets available for the 2019 holiday season.
For these selections, we focused on sets that appeal to adults, either due to the subject matter (NASA history, old spy movies, and so on) and/or because the building process is too difficult for most kids under 10 years old.
Note that LEGO prices are pretty fluid, as they’re in high demand, and some of these sets are very rare. We’ve ordered them, roughly, from least to most expensive. If there’s a specific set you’re looking for that’s out of stock, try different online stores, LEGO and independent retail stores, or secondary markets, like eBay—but watch out! LEGO toys are popular items for counterfeiters.
Best Stocking Stuffer: Ideas Women of NASA
This cute little set is the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone interested in the history of space exploration. Women of NASA features three vignettes: Apollo mission programmer Margaret Hamilton with her stack of codebooks, Hubble program leader Nancy Grace Roman with a model of the satellite, and astronauts Sally Ride and Mae Jemison with a mini Challenger shuttle.
These make great desk decorations, and the included booklet has lots of historical context for each scene. This set is technically out of print, but it’s common enough that it should be easy to find at low prices before the end of the year.

Best Budget Set: Technic Corvette ZR1
The Technic series is jam-packed with unconventional designs and complex little mechanisms that make even relatively small sets, like this one, fun and challenging to build. This officially-licensed Corvette is a faithful recreation of Chevy’s top-of-the-line racer.
It’s almost one-foot long and has advanced features, including a working steering wheel and pistons that move when you roll it. At under 600 pieces, it’s a surprisingly fast build—you might even have time to break it down and build the alternate “hot rod” configuration!
