With so many jaw-dropping LEGO sets heading our way in 2025—from a stunning new Architecture build that might be the best the theme has ever seen, to exciting new Star Wars releases that have me seriously questioning my display space, and even the long-rumored arrival of LEGO Star Trek USS Enterprise D—it’s safe to say that next year is going to be expensive. So, before my shelves collapse and my budget officially waves the white flag, I figured now is the perfect time to stop, reflect, and count down the Top 10 LEGO sets in my personal collection... before they get dethroned.

In this episode, I’m ranking the best of the best from my own LEGO vault of more than 700+ sets. From galaxy-spanning Star Wars ships to magical Harry Potter builds, from beautifully detailed Icons vehicles to those delightfully quirky LEGO Ideas sets, this list covers a wide range of themes—and every set has a story. Some are epic and imposing. Others are personal and nostalgic. And a few may even surprise you (yes, even I had a hard time picking who's the best).

These are the sets that have earned a permanent place on my shelf—not just because they look amazing, but because of the memories, the builds, the minifigs, and, okay, sometimes just the sheer ridiculousness of the design. Whether you’re here to compare notes, find inspiration, or just hear someone get a little too emotionally invested in molded plastic, this episode has something for you.

And of course, we’re building the suspense all the way to the number one spot. Is it a UCS masterpiece? A hidden gem from the past? A fan-designed underdog? A spellbinding castle? A set that sparked my love of LEGO in the first place? Tune in and find out.

So, sit back, relax, and join me on a journey through the top 10 LEGO sets that define my collection… at least until 2025 wipes the slate clean.
