Get it

Relive the 60s with this VW Camper Van Set!

Pros:

  • 1,334 Pieces
  • Includes authentic features inside and out

— Lego Sets For Adults Buyers Guide & FAQ  —

What To Look For When Buying Your Own Lego Set

When considering buying a Lego set, there are a few key things to consider. First, who are you getting it for, and how experienced a Lego builder are they? If, for example, you've been playing with Legos your entire life, you likely need a more advanced set to be satisfied. Second, what are you interested in? Do you like Star Wars? Harry Potter? Space? Race Cars? Trains? Knowing what you like will help you narrow down what types of Lego sets you'd be interested in purchasing. Finally, knowing how much you are willing to spend is key as Lego sets can vary greatly in cost.

Q: How much do Lego Sets cost?

According to WIRED, a single LEGO piece is approximately $0.104 per piece. That said, this has little to do with how much you can expect to pay for a LEGO set unless you are looking to buy a set of bricks alone, not a design set. When purchasing a design set, you could be looking at anywhere between $50 to thousands of dollars. It all just depends on how complex and detailed the set is, as well as how many bricks it contains, rarity, popularity, etc.

Q: What is a Lego Set?

A: A Lego Set is pretty much exactly what it sounds like – a set of Legos. They can come as simply a number of loose Lego bricks, or, in the case of this article, as specific pieces which, when put together according to the directions, will result in a specific figure and/or design.

Q: Why do I need a Lego Set?

A: Apart from the fact that Legos are just downright fun, using Lego sets to create and build is also a creative way to foster imagination, grow creativity, practice problem-solving skills, and more. Plus, it has actually been shown to work as a stress reliever for adults and is a fun hobby anyone can develop and enjoy with others all over the world.

Q: Do adults actually play with Legos?

A: You bet they do! Once a love of LEGOs is fostered, it doesn't go away. Many adults even still have childhood sets of LEGOs they take out and use on occasion! That said, even if LEGOs were never really your thing and now you're an adult; it's never too late to give it a go. You may just find you have found your new favorite hobby or pass time!

Q: Do Legos increase in value?

A: Yes, they do. In fact, a recent study showed Legos as actually being a better investment than gold bars, stocks or bonds, averaging an 11% return – more than what the aforementioned investments tend to bring home annually. Additionally, when you can keep sets together and in good condition, they can be worth more as time goes on as well. Especially if those sets are then later discontinued.

Q: What is Lego Therapy?

A: Lego Therapy involves helping those with communication disorders (like those on the spectrum for example), develop key skills such as communication, sharing, teamwork, etc. This type of therapy does this by centering team activities around building with LEGOs, in which a team works together to follow specific instructions to create their piece. In working together to do something they enjoy, kids (and sometimes adults), learn communication skills that will be essential throughout life.

Q: Do Legos make you smarter?

A: Short answer? Yes. When it comes to kids, playing with Legos helps specifically to develop coordination and 3D abilities. However, there really some brain benefits for adults as well, including helping with memory recall, brain dexterity, and even helping to boost logic problem-solving skills and creativity. This is because, (assuming the complexities of your designs increase with your age as well), you have to use more of these skills to complete your design and hence you are flexing, or "working it" your brain.


Fun isn't just for kids and Legos aren't either! From the actual health and mental benefits to the simple joy of doing something with your heads you actually like. Getting yourself (or a loved one) a LEGO set can really make the difference between just another weekend or evening night, and a weekend or evening night that ends with a smile and an overall accomplished feeling that will carry you through the week to come. Plus, with all the many different types of sets out there, there is something for everyone. Hence, there's really no reason not to enjoy LEGO for yourself!
