11 Best LEGO® Sets for Adults

In a world of constant pings, rings, dings and notifications, switching off can feel a bit, well, foreign. Have a think. When did you last take some time out of your day to do something that doesn’t involve a screen, a little tapping, some swiping?

That was a long pause…

Surprise, surprise – taking a pause from our tablets, TVs and phones can be good for us. Who’d have thought? In fact, taking part in creative hobbies has been shown to actually improve our brain function. So, setting aside a little time for LEGO® building is actually a very grown-up, responsible thing to do.

These days, the world of LEGO bricks covers every possible interest and obsession. So, here’s a roundup of some of the best LEGO sets for adults.

LEGO® Icons Corvette

If you’ve ever dreamt of cruising Route 66 in a 1961 Chevrolet Corvette C1 model, this LEGO replica is the set for you. It’s fully loaded with authentic details, including the sleek curves of the classic silhouette, elegant interior styling, ‘Ducktail’ back end and signature four taillights. You can cruise with the hardtop in place, but we know you’d much rather let the top down and feel the wind in your hair.

 

And that’s not all. You’ll find more iconic classic car gems here.
