Our January pick is LEGO Icons 11370 Stranger Things: The Creel House. Befitting a grand finale, the set features a whopping 13 minifigures as well as two vehicles – the WSQK van and Steve’s car. It’s a perfect companion to the first set – another iconic location with a mind-bending twist. Designed by LEGO legend Mike Psiaki, the house transforms when you pull the corners to reveal Vecna’s Mind Lair. As Jarret says in our glowing review, “The final set is a sight to behold. The transforming function works so well and is a feature you’ll want to show off to everyone who walks by the build.”

LEGO goes back to Back to the Future for a third spin on the iconic DeLorean-turned-time machine. This time the car falls under the Speed Champions label, and we couldn’t be happier. Great shaping, two new minifigs and incredible value.

LEGO Marvel
We had the chance to see this set up close at Fan Media Days, designed by Creator 3-in-1 wiz Aaron Newman, and it is a stunner. While not a fully articulated buildable character, the Mark 3 can rotate its arms and hips to achieve iconic Iron Man poses. The included minifig is also a new print, which should appeal to collectors.

After some pretty great tributes to the first two Sam Raimi Spider-man film, LEGO moves on to Spider-Man 3. It’s interesting (and welcome!) to see LEGO playing around with display models at a modest price point for a change.

We’re all big TNG fans in these parts, and the LEGO team did a remarkable job capturing the challenging curves of the Enterprise in a model that is substantial and sturdy, with a detachable saucer section so you can recreate those three times across the series where the function was used. What really sells the nostalgia is the incredible mix of minifigures. You can read our detailed review here.

A second ’80s themed fan-favorite Ideas project in as many months! This time it’s a large-scale model of One-Eyed Willy’s Inferno pirate ship that doubles as an elaborate playset recreating most of the key scene from the beloved film. For AFOLs looking for a pirate ship, we recommend sticking to Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship or the Going Merry from One Piece, but if you like adventure, the minifigs and booty booby traps are a delight.

The last time LEGO made a colorful fish tank, it was a $30 Creator 3-in-1 set. Now LEGO returns to the theme with one of the largest (and priciest) Icons sets to date with 10366 Tropical Aquarium. In our review, Theo loved the large mix of parts in new colors and the pleasing shelf presence, but we’re not sure about the price tag.

The LEGO Game Boy is a near-perfect 1:1 recreation of the landmark gaming handheld and is constructed using complex techniques that will make you appreciate LEGO geometry. Better yet, with the exception of the game cartridge covers, all graphics are printed, and the interchangeable lenticular screens are a unique LEGO twist.

The UCS Death Star sparked a lot of discourse around the leaks, the “Death Slice” form factor, and the price. In our review, we found it to be a good concept, well-executed, if you admire the size, but lacking the luxury qualities one would expect from LEGO’s most expensive set to date. If it’s on your list, you’ll want to get it early to claim the TIE Fighter with rack to add to the hangar.

LEGO Ideas has brought us many sets that would look at home in a science museum, and the Mineral Collection continues that tradition. In our review, Chuck found it to be a true gem, with a great mix of elements, new molds and techniques, and a pleasing shelf presence.

LEGO Ideas aren’t always high-minded. Sometimes they’re just fun tributes to favorite pop culture, like Gizmo from Gremlins. In our review, V found the model adorable and expressive. The one critique – changing from standing to sitting mode requires substantial rebuilding, meaning you won’t be changing the pose often. As a plus, the head can easily be swapped out with your Tuxedo Cat, Toothless, or Eye of Sauron, for mix-and-match fun!
