9 Cool Lego Sets for Grown Men to Play With

“Aren’t Legos just for kids?” you might ask. Sure, for years, these ubiquitous plastic bricks were mostly made for elementary school children. But, there are plenty of reasons why you'd want to try a Lego set as an adult. They're as relaxing to put together as a jigsaw puzzle. They help engage the mathematical and problem-solving parts of your brain—something many of us start to lose after childhood. And, on a basic level, they make for a cool and unique stay-at-home activity to pass the time. Bottom line: Legos are definitely not just for kids anymore!

The latest Lego catalog includes some seriously cool toys for grown-ass men. You can build a sleek replica of the Aston Martin DB5 (if you can get your hands on one) used in the James Bond films, or craft a miniature version of the hard-to-find Lego version of Fender’s timeless Stratocaster. No matter what type of set you’re looking for, Lego has taken the creative spirit of its childhood bricks and extended it all the way to adulthood.

That's why adult Lego sets can make for a unique and thoughtful gift for the former builder or armchair engineer in your life. Is your boyfriend really into Star Wars? Surprise him with an Imperial Probe Droid set. Does your husband have every episode of Seinfeld on DVD? Gift him a nostalgic Lego replica of the set from the show. Regardless of who you’re buying for, we’ve rounded up the best adult Lego sets for grown, but still kid-at-heart men.
