Top 10 Lego sets of 2025 that caught my eye - Assalamu alaikum
Assalamu alaikum - figured I’d share a casual roundup of some of the standout Lego releases from 2025. There’s something for every age and interest, from compact display pieces to larger builds that make great conversation starters at home. I’ve kept it simple and honest - hope it’s useful if you’re thinking of gifting something for Eid, a wedding present, or just treating yourself.
1) Ferrari SF-24 F1 (Technic)
Age: 18+
Pieces: 1,361
Price: Dh1,099
If you love motorsport, this red Ferrari Technic set is a proper showpiece. It’s a bit mechanical in style, so it’s more for people who enjoy engineering-style builds rather than casual brick stacking. Great for display in a living room or study.
2) Fountain Garden (Icons)
Age: 18+
Pieces: 1,302
Price: Dh449
A peaceful little build - columns, a statue fountain, and lots of flowers. Compact enough to sit on a shelf and brings a calm vibe after a long day. Feels nice to assemble and then leave as a quiet decorative item.
3) Blacktron Renegade (Retro revival)
Age: 18+
Pieces: 1,151
Price: Dh449
A reboot of a classic 1987 sci‑fi set, modernised but keeping the original spirit. Comes with more minifigures now. If you grew up with old-school sci‑fi Lego, this one hits the nostalgia spot.
4) Williams Racing FW14B (Display car)
Age: 18+
Pieces: 799
Price: Dh359
A beautiful, more enjoyable build than some of the more technical F1 sets. Comes with a plinth and a little plaque with stats - looks great on a mantel or desk and is friendlier to build than the big Technic models.
5) Classic Handheld Console (Nintendo‑style)
Age: 18+
Pieces: 421
Price: Dh279
A tribute to the original handheld console with thoughtful details like lenticular screen pieces and two cartridge designs. Nice for gamers who appreciate a neat display piece that nods to retro gaming.
6) Pink Honda S2000 (Speed Champions)
Age: 9+
Pieces: 300
Price: Dh109
A fun little set that celebrates a memorable movie car. Small, bright, and likely to please fans of film and cars alike - a lighthearted addition to any collection.
7) Minifigure Vending Machine
Age: 18+
Pieces: 1,343
Price: Dh849
A clever one: once built it actually works like a toy vending machine. Reminds me of gachapon or vintage vending machines - each capsule can hold a different minifigure or little surprise you choose. Good for a playful corner at home.
8) Red Maple Bonsai (Botanical)
Age: 18+
Pieces: 474
Price: Dh269
A lovely autumnal display piece that fills a room with colour without taking over. Bigger than some bonsai sets but still very shelf‑friendly. Nice way to add a seasonal touch to a room.
9) Shelby Cobra 427 S/C (Collector car)
Age: 18+
Pieces: 1,241
Price: Dh699
One of the best motoring releases this year - classic lines and authentic colours. They even used a new pigment to match the original car, which shows attention to detail that collectors will appreciate.
10) Pirate Ship (Movie‑style)
Age: 18+
Pieces: 2,862
Price: Dh1,799
A very well‑sized ship that’s detailed without being overwhelmingly huge. Black sails, hidden rooms, and small play features like a detachable rowing boat. Ideal for display and occasional play, and not so massive that it dominates a room.
Quick note: Lego had a huge number of releases this year, so there’s definitely more to explore depending on what you like. If you want recommendations for family builds suitable for kids or modestly priced gifts for newlyweds, I can suggest a few options. JazakAllahu khair for reading!
