From the ingenuity of ancient Egypt to the groundbreaking achievements of space exploration, these LEGO® sets celebrate humanity’s engineering wonders. Whether you’re setting sail or taking to the skies, get ready to build and explore some of the pioneering innovations that have shaped history and inspired generations.
We will begin our journey in leisurely style, as we cruise down a river on our very own paddle steamboat. Explore the pilot house and crew cabin on the texas deck, enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant with music stage on the main deck, or dive into the history of steam engines on the boiler deck, which also features a kitchen. Push the boat around to see the iconic red paddle and the interior engine work, or move the rudder using the boat’s steering wheel in the pilot house (or the knob outside). The model is also filled with hidden Easter eggs in tribute to the fan designer. When you’re ready to depart, raise the anchor, and then drop it when you find the perfect display spot in your home.
The history of engineering wouldn’t be the same without the creative genius of Leonardo da Vinci, and one of the best known of the many incredible innovations that he sketched in his famous notebooks was the visionary ornithopter. Leonardo never got to build his flying machine, but now you can with this new set that features an open airframe with flappable textile-covered wings driven by a visible interplay of string, hinges and pulleys. It’s sure to spark fascinating ideas of your own, as you display it on the included stand with an attachable Leonardo da Vinci minifigure.
Sailing in next, is the majestic Endurance. The mighty ship that once carried Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew into the frozen wilderness of Antarctica. With three towering masts, ten full sails, a flying Red Ensign flag and intricate rigging, plus a multi-level deck, connected by stairs, this is a must for fans of grand ships and exploration. With 3,011 pieces and measuring over 18.5 in. (47 cm) high, 31.5 in. (80 cm) long and 9.5 in. (24 cm) wide, it includes a sturdy stand so you can proudly display it in your home.
In 1883, the first ever Orient Express steamed from Paris towards Istanbul (then called Constantinople). Over the next hundred years, the Orient Express became the world’s most famous train, synonymous with elegance, travel and adventure.
It’s recreated here in stunning detail. You can build the locomotive, tender, dining car and sleeping car. Inside, you can experience the luxury with inlaid panels and a mirror effect above the bed in the sleeping car’s first-class room, a backgammon board and more.
When completed, this collectable train model is over 46 in. (116 cm) long and will look amazing on your shelf or desk. And if you want to role-play, it comes with eight minifigures, including a conductor, train driver, railway station manager and a film director (based on the fan designer who created this set!), as well as a buildable baggage cart.
Whether you’re a train fan or are looking for LEGO train set gifts for adults, you’ve reached your destination.
One of the world’s most recognizable landmarks also makes one of the largest-ever LEGO sets. With 10,001 pieces and standing at just under 5 feet (1.5 metres) tall, this is a showstopping LEGO set that will bring a little bit (or perhaps we should say a large bit) of Paris into your home. Ohh-la-la!
Based on the most iconic passenger airplane in aviation history, the LEGO Icons Concorde set offers a challenging and enjoyable build. This replica of the sound-barrier-breaking jet includes unique features, like the delta wing, the drooped nose and the narrow fuselage.

The Titanic was celebrated as one of history’s most significant engineering accomplishments. It’s recreated here in faithful detail, including the bridge, the promenade deck and the swimming pool, and driving this mighty ship are the powerful piston engines and turning propellers. With almost 9,000 pieces and over 53 in. (135 cm) in length, this set is genuinely… well, Titanic!
While engineering may feel instinctively futuristic, some of our most incredible feats are some of our oldest. Lovers of ancient history or Egypt will adore this 1,476-piece set based on one of the most famous landmarks in world history: the Great Pyramid of Giza. The largest of all the Egyptian pyramids, it was built a staggering 4,500 years ago and, remarkably, still stands and still draws visitors from all over the world.
Lovers of heavy machinery can elevate their collections with this impressive and accurate Technic™ set. It’s based on one of the world’s most powerful cranes and has authentic features, like the luffing jib, the winch and the rotating turntable.
