What about the Van Gogh sunflowers? That’s one of my favorite sets! I also like the Italian Riviera and the Wall-E sets.
I’m a LEGO city guy, and I think there’s only one city set on that entire list. All the sets on the list are big and expensive.
My list would include the harbor set, the train from last year, the red mini train, the sightseeing bus, the tractor and trailer, the Sherlock Holmes the older police prison harbor and several vehicles.
Enjoy the holidays!!!
I agree. Many of these are big and expensive licensed sets. It’s just pushes LEGO to make even more big and expensive licensed sets. There are so many great low to medium priced sets that never makes it to youtubers’ favorite list.
Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you all got something to build!
I got a Lego gift card! OMG! What should I spend it on??!! 😀
Due to lack of space and funds, I haven’t bought a lot of new sets this year. I bought the Fantastic Four vs. Galactus Set and liked it, though.
