I love the Creator sets for kids (or adults) who simply love the process of building LEGO. The same bricks can be used to make a tiger, a red panda, or a koi fish.

I’ve had this one on my wish list for a while, and since it’s technically already retired, now is the time to make my move. It features Gru and five minion pals who can all move in unison with a twisting element. Did I mention that one of the accessories is a fart gun? Seems like something I need to own.

With dino footprints and a fossil skull, this could be the start of your very own LEGO Natural History Museum. You don’t even need to be a fan of the Jurassic Park movies to appreciate how cool this looks.
Ages 7 and up.
Go ahead and build a model car, but skip the glue and snap LEGO pieces together instead. There are moving wheels, an engine under the hood, and a roof that can be stocked with “gear.”

Roller coasters have been a staple of LEGO building for decades, and this is the only one you can easily find before it’s set to retire later this year. It’s got moving elements, a mech action figure, and dozens of small accessories to make it feel like it was ripped right out of an amusement park.
Ages 8 and up.
There are so many new Star Wars sets on the horizon, especially with the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu coming this spring. But if you’re looking to snag this Ahsoka ship, get it before it disappears into a galaxy far, far, away.

There are a lot—and I mean, a lot—of Harry Potter LEGO sets, but this model of Hagrid’s Hut is one of my favorites. It comes with five minifigures, along with Norbert the Dragon and Fang the Dog. The roof comes off, so you can actually play with this set when you’re done.
Ages 8 and up.
Another Peppa Pig set retiring soon, this supermarket play set is designed for toddlers. It has so many fun elements, like a drivable car, a self-scan checkout, a freezer with an opening door, and realistic-looking play food.

Great Scott! Not only is this set often sold out, but it’s available and on sale right now. It features the famed DeLorean from the Back to the Future films, and the car can be built in three different ways. It also comes with Doc and Marty McFly minifigures.

There are a lot of LEGO castles, but this mini one is covered with vines that grew while Princess Aurora was sleeping, waiting for her prince to come. It also includes the giant dragon version of Maleficent who has folding wings and fiery breath.

This jewelry box is perfect for your little princess to keep all her treasures inside. It has a locking lid, comes with a customizable bracelet (plus mini doll versions of Snow White and the Evil Queen), and has hidden rooms that open to reveal the castle and cottage.
Ages 6 and up.
Fans of Mario Kart won’t want to miss a chance to add this Bowser car to their collection before it retires soon. There are interactive elements to this set, like a lever that can make the hood ornament move.

This one is officially retired, but you can still find this dual build at regular retail prices… for now. Construct a replica of the Space Shuttle Discovery—the Hubble Space Telescope included.
Ages 18 and up.
The LEGO botanicals are all pretty popular, but this centerpiece is often difficult to find, especially closer to fall. This one was recently retired, so if you’re hoping to have it on your Thanksgiving table, get it while it’s still in stock. (Yes, even months ahead of time!)
Ages 18 and up.
