Challenging LEGO Sets Perfect for Advanced Adult Builders

Build on your experience with these, premium LEGO® sets, perfect for those looking for their next BIG challenge…

Now that your confidence in LEGO® building has grown, it’s time to step things up and take on some of the more challenging premium projects. If you want more pieces, more quality time, and more impressive displays, then we have the sets that will take your experience level up to expert! 

You’ll need patience, concentration and logical thinking (but we know you have those in abundance!) and we guarantee the final results will be worth the wait!

The speediest of sets

Get into gear with a sleek and stylish build that you’ll want to display – the LEGO® Icons Porsche 911 (10295) set will certainly get the show on the road. 

The model of this classic, collectible dream car comes with 1,458 pieces, and you can choose to build either the Turbo or the Targa. Both feature the iconic Porsche 911 front, rear bumpers and angled headlights. The interior is also impressive, with a working steering wheel and tilting seats. 

But instead of racing to the finish line, why not take things slow and extend the building enjoyment by opening just one bag of bricks per day? Take your time with the build, to prevent the fun from whizzing by too fast!

Race into space

Bring the beauty of space in your own home, with LEGO® Art The Milky Way Galaxy (31212) set. It’s the ultimate activity for astronomy fans. 

Build layer upon layer of LEGO bricks to create a 3D picture, filled with color, depth and texture. Everyone will want to reach out and touch it! The starry scene includes some of the most famous areas within the Milky Way, like the Pleiades and the Pillars of Creation. 

Produced over five panels, friends and family can join you in this out-of-this-world project. And when you’ve finishing building this awe-inspiring piece of LEGO art, display it on your wall with pride. Nice!

The right track

If you like to both travel and build in style, then the LEGO® Ideas The Orient Express Train (21344) set is the perfect project for you. 

This stunning LEGO locomotive from the golden age of train travel is as authentic on the inside as it is on the outside. The dining car and sleeping car are filled with so many little details. There are minifigures of a railway station manager, and glamorous guests ready to embark. 

Jump on board and start your creative journey with this first-class build. Build carriage by carriage, and you’re on-track for an exciting engineering experience.

A historic build

Here’s a build that’s not for the faint-hearted! The LEGO® Icons Natural History Museum (10326) set is one of historic proportions. It’s a huge and complex construction challenge that is sure to test your skills. 

Two skylights let light into every corner of the large, sprawling two-level building. The tiny, exquisite exhibits range from astronomy to ancient artifacts, and there’s even a curator’s office that’s strictly for staff only. But the star of the set must be the towering, brachiosaurus skeleton – an eye-catching centerpiece! 

This is a mighty big build, with 4,014 pieces, which could feel overwhelming in its scale and scope. We suggest building slowly and steadily, room by room, piece by piece, day by day. That way you can fully immerse yourself in the design details of each exhibit. This is such a fun set, so take the time to really enjoy it!  

This display-worthy, highly detailed LEGO set is a guaranteed curiosity sparker!

Sky-high set

If you’re ready to reach for the skies, then the LEGO® Icons Eiffel Tower (10307) set is the next challenge for you! The tallest LEGO set yet, with an impressive 10,001 pieces, it’s a recording-breaking build. 

The beauty of this set is that it allows you to recreate history – building it in four sections, just as the original construction was! Start at the bottom and work up to the viewing platform at the very top. Enjoy all the engineering details within the design, with arches, supports, and railings. Immerse yourself in each stage and take satisfaction in slotting them together. 

Building this, the biggest of LEGO models, will be an awe-inspiring architectural achievement. 

Let your expert-level brick building bonanza commence!
