LEGO Christmas gift guide: the best gifts for an unlimited budget

If the sky’s the limit for your LEGO Christmas shopping, here’s a guide to the very best LEGO gifts to delight your friends and family this holiday season.

For some LEGO collectors, money is no object. The proof? Just look at all those £500+ sets the LEGO Group is churning out on the reg these days. Someone has to be buying them, after all. If that’s you, and you’re currently pondering what to pick up for yourself, a friend, family member or loved one this Christmas, let us be your guide.

These are the best possible LEGO Christmas gifts for those shopping with an unlimited budget at LEGO.com, able to experience some of the most involved and comprehensive builds the company currently has to offer. Shopping on a more restricted budget? No worries: we’ve got you covered with the best LEGO Christmas gifts under £50 / under £100 / under £200.

76178 Daily Bugle

Theme: Marvel Price: £299.99 / $349.99 / €349.99 Pieces: 3,776 Available: Now

This year’s LEGO Marvel direct-to-consumer sets haven’t quite landed with as much might as 2021’s 76178 Daily Bugle, so this is a great time to catch up on last summer’s towering skyscraper if you haven’t already. Packed with more minifigures than you can shake a pair of spandex tights at, it’s the perfect playground for superhero adventures.

71411 The Mighty Bowser

Theme: Super Mario Price: £229.99 / $269.99 / €269.99 Pieces: 2,807 Available: Now

Possibly the best LEGO Super Mario direct-to-consumer set to date, 71411 The Mighty Bowser boasts a beautifully-constructed rendition of the King of the Koopas – and is still compatible with the digital Mario, Luigi and Peach figures. It’s a massive boss level for your interactive courses, or just a brilliant display model. Either way, you can’t go wrong for the Nintendo fan in your life.

75331 The Razor Crest

Theme: Star Wars Price: £519.99 / $599.99 / €599.99 Pieces: 6,187 Available: Now

There are arguably now far too many wallet-busting LEGO Star Wars sets to choose from, but we’re all about the newness this Xmas. If your budget really is unlimited, chances are your recipient already has 75192 Millennium Falcon, 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer and 75313 AT-AT, so expand their very grey display this year with the sublime 75331 The Razor Crest.

71741 NINJAGO City Gardens

Theme: NINJAGO Price: £299.99 / $349.99 / €349.99 Pieces: 5,685 Available: Now

Still available at LEGO.com is Brick Fanatics’ best set of 2021, 71741 NINJAGO City Gardens. It’s a little bit more expensive now, having jumped in price in August/September, but that shouldn’t matter to the shopper with an unlimited budget – particularly because it’s absolutely still well worth its asking price even now, with an unrivalled build experience in one box.

10305 Lion Knights’ Castle

Theme: Icons Price: £344.99 / $399.99 / €399.99 Pieces: 4,514 Available: Now

2022 is the LEGO Group’s 90th anniversary, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with its flagship 90th-anniversary set, 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle. This titanic ode to ye olde Castle sets is more than just self-indulgence from the LEGO Group, though: it’s arguably the best LEGO castle ever released, combining an awesome and detailed build with a nostalgic set of minifigures. It’s sure to keep whoever you’re shopping for happy over the festive season – and then some.

10307 Eiffel Tower

Theme: Icons Price: £554.99 / $629.99 / €629.99 Pieces: 10,001 Available: November 25

If your recipient is all about what’s hot and new, it doesn’t get much hotter and newer than 10307 Eiffel Tower. Case in point: it isn’t even out yet, and won’t be available to purchase until November 25 (or Black Friday). It could well sell out pretty quickly, too – at least if last year’s 10294 Titanic is anything to go by – so make sure you’re on the button as soon as it goes live. It’s as close as most of us will get to spending Christmas in Paris.
