It seems no matter what boys are into these days, there’s a LEGO set for them. Star Wars? Check. Harry Potter? Check. Superheroes? Check. Giant freaking robots? Check. Heck, even video games are getting the LEGO brick treatment with a whole slew of sets coming out based on the huge popularity of Minecraft. With all these choices, picking the right set of LEGOs for the Legomanic in your life can be a daunting task. Which is why we’ve created a list of 10 of our favorite and best LEGO sets for boys. With so many sets, the hard part wasn’t picking our favorites. The difficult part instead was choosing which superb sets had to get cut from the list. But we’re happy with our choices and we know any boy would be stoked with any of these sets. You can’t go wrong with LEGOs.
1. LEGO City Monster Truck
What young boy wouldn’t love to have their own monster truck? With this LEGO monster truck set they can crush cars, make insane jumps of the ramp, or go four wheeling through the dirt and mud with ease. Even cooler is this monster truck is constructed with a real working suspension so the truck’s wheels will bounce and absorb every shock from play. This set is all about fun and that’s what LEGOs do better than anything at the end of the day.
2. LEGO Star Wars Solo A Star Wars Story Kessel Run Millennium Falcon
Punch it Chewie! Boys will love building their very own recreation of the legendary Millennium Falcon. This version of the Falcon is taken straight from the Star Wars Solo movie, as owned by Lando. With a sleek and luxurious exterior Lando’s Falcon comes complete with a detachable escape pod, real firing lasers and hidden storage compartments for smuggling. The 6 included LEGO mini-figs let boys recreate their favorite scenes from the movie or blast off on their own adventures!
3. LEGO Minecraft The Skeleton Attack
Boys love Minecraft. And boys love LEGO. So why not combine the two properties in a match made in boy heaven? If you’re unfamiliar with the popular video game, Minecraft can best described as digital LEGOS. In Minecraft, players explore giant worlds made solely of blocks. Just like LEGOS, they can use them to craft their own tools, houses, and more as the only limit is their own creativity. This LEGO Minecraft set has one of those player made houses under siege from an army of angry skeletons from the game. Boys can follow the instructions and create the set, or like any good game of Minecraft build their own fun creations.
4. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers Infinity War Thanos Ultimate Battle
Straight from the blockbuster movie, Avengers: Infinity War, comes this awesome LEGO set. Recreating the titanic battle between Marvel’s Avengers and the mad titan, Thanos, this set has everything a comic book fan could want. Besides a detailed model of the Guardians of the Galaxy’s spaceship, this set also includes 3 mini-figs of Iron-Man, Star-Lord and Gamora along side a large Thanos figure, complete with the Infinity Gauntlet. That’s a lot of value in one set, and tons of fun for both building and play!
5. LEGO Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter
LEGO has been making Star Wars X-Wing fighter kits for years now and this newest version is one of the best. With firing proton torpedo, retractable landing gear and wings that open in attack position with the push of a button, this starfighter has it all. AT over 700 pieces, boys will have as much fun building an X-Wing of their very own as they will playing with it. Truthfully, any LEGO Star Wars set is a strong contender for one of the best LEGO sets for boys you’ll find. It’s just next to impossible to go wrong with an X-wing. It’s an iconic ship that Star Wars fans love! Use the force Luke!
6. LEGO Ninjago Movie Fire Mech
When I was younger my brothers and I had to build our own LEGO mechs and robots because the LEGO sets at the time sadly didn’t offer any. Well, boys today are beyond spoiled with sweet LEGO mech sets like this! Taken straight from the LEGO Ninjago Movie, this giant and articulated fire mech looks amazing. The mech’s dual flamethrowers and detailed cockpit on a fire truck red mech, is the kind of LEGO set we were dying for growing up. The LEGO sets that get made these just keep on impressing, and this is easily the coolest mech ever. Or did we mean the hottest?
7. LEGO City Mining Heavy Driller
Have fun drilling for valuable gold and hidden underground gems with this heavy driller mining set from LEGO. The giant drill on this heavy driller can easily cut through rocks as easily as it can through LEGO bricks, on the way to a fortune in gold nuggets. Included is a small utility truck to help haul the valuable ore away. This set is really unique, and one to spark the imaginations of the boys who’ll play with it. Just think of all the fun exploration and discoveries they’ll have. And did you see the size of that drill? Yikes!
8. LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express
For fans of Harry Potter, few LEGO sets will be as loved as this. Travel to the magical wizards school of Hogwarts on board this magical locomotive. With a detailed engine, two cars and a station, this LEGO set is big on fun. Additionally, the passenger car even opens up so Harry and friends can enjoy the ride in comfort. Or fight off the villainous Dementor and Scabbers mini-figs along the way! This set is a great addition to any Harry Potter fan’s LEGO collection or any harry Potter fan in general.
9. LEGO DC Super Heroes App-Controlled Batmobile
Two toys in one! This slick-looking version of the Batmobile, comes complete with large knobby tires, opening cockpit and LEGO stud shooters. But this set has a special surprise, as its also a remote-controlled car! Simply download the accompanying app and turn any smart device in a touch screen remote control. Batman can fight crime in entirely new ways when his Batmobile is racing around the kitchen floor or through the backyard at full speed! The Joker better watch out!
10. LEGO Technic Stunt Truck
We can’t have a LEGO set list worth reading without a toy from the LEGO Technic line. Technic LEGOs are for the more mechanically inclined and often have working drive trains and gear differentials. This super cool stunt truck comes with a powerful pull back motor for speed. And a sturdy bumper and wide wheels for jumps, stunts, tricks and spins. Build a ramp and see how far you can launch the truck without making it crash! A different type of build from other LEGOS, Technic sets are quite popular among adults who recreate everything from motorcycles to big rig trucks. Technic sets have the mechanic details that are impressive and fun to build!
