Best LEGO Sets 2010

Top Favorites for Kids This Year from LEGO

Tonya Brisnehan
The best LEGO sets 2010 are actually in quite an elite position - there are so many different types of sets of LEGOs these days that it would actually be a bit tough to count them! So, then the "best of" must really be something special - right?

Right.

Here they are - from the list of the Top Ten LEGO Sets 2010, the top 3 in terms of overall popularity and sales:

1. LEGO Ultimate Building Set (for 4 to 12 year old kids) - I was actually happy to see this one at the top of the list due to the fact that it is probably the set that entices the most creativity in kids. It is extensive, with more than 400 blocks of different types and colors, as well as a minifigure and building plate. If a child (who likes LEGO sets) does not already have this, it is an excellent choice as a gift.

2. LEGO Toy Story Woody and Buzz Rescue Set (for kids age 6 and older) - With the new release of the Toy Story 3 movie, it is not too surprising that we would see this set toward the top of the most popular LEGO sets for this year. However, the set is actually based on a scene in the first Toy Story movie where Woody and Buzz are riding RC to try and catch up to a moving van, and to their owner, Andy. This is an extremely cute LEGO kit, complete with unique pieces to put together "RC" as well as a Buzz Lightyear and a Woody figure.

3. LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader TIE fighter set (for kids age 7 to 12) - This is a "must have" for any LEGO Star Wars fan - it has an impressive amount of detailing for Darth Vader's ship, the TIE fighter and is based on the very first Star Wars movie - a classic set to own - even for adults! Truly this set is deserving of being among the top of the list - although it could be said that it is "just one of many" LEGO Star Wars sets, it stands apart as one of the most creative and unique LEGO sets available.

There are most certainly additional choices among the best LEGO sets 2010, the above are simply the very top of a very long list. Other popular sets this year include versions for children who are toddler age and yet others are for older age groups with quite a bit more challenge.

    Yeah! You know, there are even computerized LEGO sets these days - kids can put together a robot and program it to do just about anything. All kinds of sets - really an amazing lineup of toys. =)

    Good article, Tonya. These are far more advanced than the LEGO sets of my childhood.
