The Icons range, once known as Creator Expert, is Lego aimed squarely at adult builders and collectors. The sets are large, detailed and designed to be displayed rather than played with, and they cover an enormous range of subjects. If you want a build that finishes as a genuine piece for the shelf, this is the range to explore. Here are the best of them.
As with all the bigger sets, prices vary a lot between shops, so each entry links to its live comparison.
The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith (11377)
The jewel of the range. This 8,278-piece white city of Gondor rises in tiers and is dense with detail and minifigures. If you want one showpiece to rule them all, this is it. Compare prices on Minas Tirith.
Lord of the Rings: Rivendell (10316)
A 6,181-piece recreation of the elven refuge, full of gazebos, waterfalls and autumnal trees. It is one of the most beautiful sets Lego has made and rewards slow, careful building. Compare prices on Rivendell.
Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D (10356)
At 3,600 pieces this is the ship from The Next Generation, built to a large display scale with a stand and nameplate. A dream set for Trek fans and a striking model in its own right. Compare prices on the Enterprise.
NASA Artemis Space Launch System (10341)
A 3,601-piece rocket that stands tall on its launch tower. A superb pick for space enthusiasts and one of the more affordable large Icons sets. Compare prices on the Artemis rocket.
Medieval Town Square (10332)
A 3,308-piece slice of medieval life with a blacksmith, a tavern and a market. Packed with character and minifigures, it captures the charm of the classic castle theme. Compare prices on the Medieval Town Square.
Tropical Aquarium (10366)
A playful 4,154-piece aquarium full of clever techniques and colourful sea life. Different from the usual buildings and vehicles, and a real conversation piece. Compare prices on the Tropical Aquarium.
