The biggest LEGO sets of all time – June 2023

As another 6,000-piece heavyweight lands on shelves in 71799 NINJAGO City Markets, here’s where it fits in among the biggest LEGO sets of all time.

Month by month, the LEGO Group continues to adjust the standings of its biggest sets of all time, launching new, expensive and increasingly overwhelming products into the wild. Few of us will be lucky enough to own multiples in this list, and fewer still will have the space to display several of them simultaneously.

But if you are in the market for the ultimate LEGO challenge – a set that will take days and perhaps weeks to put together, rather than one rainy afternoon – these are the ones to aim for; the big dogs of the current LEGO portfolio. And with the introduction of 71799 NINJAGO City Markets into the list, each and every one of these sets is available right now.

Don’t forget that the latest LEGO double VIP points event is right around the corner, too, which is perfect for picking up some of the more expensive exclusive sets…

10 – LEGO Harry Potter 71043 Hogwarts Castle

Price: £409.99 / $469.99 / €469.99 Pieces: 6,020 Year: 2018 Available: Now

A smaller and more affordable Hogwarts Castle is arriving on shelves later this summer, but 71043 Hogwarts Castle is still the Wizarding World school to beat – at least in terms of piece count. It also happens to be one of the oldest LEGO sets on this list, but is now perilously close to being knocked off.

9 – LEGO NINJAGO 71799 NINJAGO City Markets

Price: £319.99 / $369.99 / €369.99 Pieces: 6,163 Year: 2023 Available: Now

The newest entry in these rankings slots in at a respectable ninth place, which isn’t bad going for a set from an original LEGO theme aimed primarily at kids. 71799 NINJAGO City Markets is the biggest NINJAGO set to date, adding to the wider NINJAGO modular building collection across two 32×32-stud baseplates.

8 – LEGO Icons 10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell

Price: £429.99 / $499.99 / €499.99 Pieces: 6,167 Year: 2023 Available: Now

The only other 2023 set to join the top 10 biggest LEGO sets of all time (so far), 10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell is a triumphant comeback for the Middle-earth theme, a full decade since its most recent play-scale sets. Building into a detailed landscape that’s surprisingly conflict-free, this 6,167-piece set also includes the entire Fellowship of the Ring in minifigure form.

7 – LEGO Star Wars 75331 The Razor Crest

Price: £519.99 / $599.99 / €599.99 Pieces: 6,187 Year: 2022 Available: Now

Last year’s flagship LEGO Star Wars set brings Din Djarin’s ship to the Ultimate Collector Series, almost two years after it was unceremoniously blown to smithereens on screen in The Mandalorian Season 2. No matter: for how heavily it featured in the 13 episodes leading up to that moment, 75331 The Razor Crest is a worthy addition to the theme at 6,187 pieces. This is the way.  

6 – LEGO Star Wars 75313 AT-AT

Price: £734.99 / $849.99 / €849.99 Pieces: 6,785 Year: 2021 Available: Now

They said it couldn’t be done, that elusive ‘they’, but the LEGO Star Wars team finally proved the doubters wrong in 2021 with 75313 AT-AT. A formidable feat in engineering, this mighty Imperial walker is – for our money – still one of the greatest LEGO Star Wars sets money can buy in 2023, and should be top of your wish list if you don’t own it already.

5 – LEGO Star Wars 75192 Millennium Falcon

Price: £734.99 / $849.99 / €849.99 Pieces: 7,541 Year: 2017 Available: Now

The oldest set on this list also happens to be the biggest LEGO Star Wars set of all time, and given it depicts perhaps the most iconic ship in the franchise, it’s hard to see anything toppling it (at least from a galaxy far, far away) any time soon. 75192 Millennium Falcon remains the holy grail of the LEGO Star Wars theme some five and a half years on at 7,541 pieces.

4 – LEGO Icons 10276 Colosseum

Pieces: 9,036 Year: 2020 Price: £474.99 / $549.99 / €549.99 Available: Now

There are no two ways about it: 10276 Colosseum is a repetitive set. But the reward for persevering with that mostly monochromatic build is a majesty of Roman architecture, reflective of its state in the 21st century. It was also the first set to break the 9,000-piece barrier in 2020, but three years on has been topped three times over.

3 – LEGO Icons 10294 Titanic

Price: £589.99 / $679.99 / €679.99 Pieces: 9,090 Year: 2021 Available: Now

If not for the first-placed set on this list (which is a contentious gold medallist, as we’ll see), 10294 Titanic would have been the biggest LEGO set of all time when it sailed on to shelves in 2021. In 2023, it has to settle for bronze – but that doesn’t detract from how much of an incredible achievement this set is, coming in at a blistering 1.35m long.

2 – LEGO Icons 10307 Eiffel Tower

Price: £554.99 / $629.99 / €629.99 Pieces: 10,001 Year: 2022 Available: Now

Do you like Paris? Great. Do you like it enough to dominate your entire living space? Hmm. Tougher question. Let’s just say it’s no wonder the LEGO Group’s official lifestyle photos of 10307 Eiffel Tower display it in a cavernous room, which has the effect of making it look strangely small. At 10,001 pieces – the first non-LEGO Art set to break the five-figure barrier – it’s anything but.

1 – LEGO Art 31203 World Map

Price: £214.99 / $249.99 / €249.99 Pieces: 11,695 Year: 2021 Available: Now

Told you this was going to be contentious. The current biggest LEGO set of all time by piece count is 31203 World Map, clocking in at 11,695 elements. But so many of those are tiny 1×1 tiles and plates that nobody could blame you for ignoring this one altogether, and just classing 10307 Eiffel Tower as the true champion of large LEGO sets. Regardless, this is still a stunningly ambitious display piece from the LEGO Art range – but it’s due to retire in 2023, so grab it while you can…
