Below is the most up to date list on the web, containing all the latest 2024 and 2023 entries including: the LOTR Baraddur and Rivendell; the Avenger's Tower; Gringotts bank and the Hogwarts Express from the LEGO Harry Potter franchise; Notre Dame, and the latest Star Wars UCS (Ultimate Collector's Series) set - the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser.

  • pieces: 11,695
  • minifigures: 0
  • Availability: Retired

The LEGO Art World Map is the largest individual LEGO set ever made. It contains a whopping 11,695 pieces. That's 2,605 more pieces than the LEGO Titanic in second place and 4,154 more pieces than the biggest LEGO Star Wars set - the UCS Millennium Falcon.

Measuring at over 25.5 in. (65 cm) high and 40.5 in. (104 cm) wide, the world map sits on 40 interconnecting LEGO base plates and can be wall mounted or displayed on a shelf in its brick-built frame.

The set, which was released in June 2021, comes with a soundtrack, so you can enjoy an audio world tour as you build. Oceans can also be customized to give the map an individual twist and landmass sections can be moved to refocus the map on 1 of 3 sections of the world.

The world map costs a reasonable $249.99 / £229.99 / 249.99€, which means the price per part is around 2 cents/per brick - albeit almost all of them are single studs.

It measures 4 feet (1.35m) in length making it the longest LEGO set ever released, just like the Titanic was the longest ship ever built at the time of its release.

The LEGO Titanic includes all the features of the original ship - from the ship's bridge to promenade deck to the swimming pool; and it can be split in to three sections allowing you to view a cross-section of the interior with the grand staircase, boiler room and more.

  • pieces: 9,036
  • minifigures: 0
  • Availability: Retired

The LEGO Architect Colosseum contains 9,036 pieces making it the fourth largest set on our list.

Designed to mimic the incredible architecture of the original Roman amphitheatre, the completed model is over 10.5 inches (27cm) high, 20.5 inches (52cm) wide, and 23.5 inches (59cm) deep. You're going to need a large cabinet to display this masterpiece!

Every detail of the model amphitheatre stays true to the real-life Colosseum located in Rome, Italy – including having 80 ‘ribs’ in the spectator stands and the three different shades of brick to replicate the different columns and ageing of the Roman landmark. The Colosseum build experience matches the same process as the original, with the modern “wooden” arena being the last part to be placed on the LEGO model, as it was in real-life back in the 1990s.

The Colosseum is the ultimate build for fans of LEGO and Roman Architecture costing $549.99 / £449.99 / 487.39€ as part of LEGO's 18+ range. It's available now, but likely to be discontinued in 2024.

With a piece count of 7,541 bricks this LEGO Millennium Falcon is a giant when built measuring over 84cm (33 inches) long and 56cm (22 inches) wide and 21cm (8 inches) high.

With that kind of scale to play with, it's no surprise that the LEGO Millenium Falcon is also impressive in it's accuracy to the iconic Star Wars ship containing a greater level of external detail than any Millennium Falcon LEGO set ever has before. You can even configure the model to both classic and modern Star Wars styles and pilot the ship with either a young or older Han Solo.

In the Falcon's interior you'll find several sections such as the main hold, the rear compartment, the top gunnery station and the cockpit.

To summarise, the LEGO Millennium Falcon is a ginormous and brilliant set perfect for any Star Wars fan or collector. It will take you around 24 hours to build - so prepare for it to take multiple evenings, but know that you'll have a lot of fun doing it.

The Ultimate Battle for Chima & LEGO City Giant Packs

Img

A honourable mention goes to the Ultimate Battle for CHIMA - which is technically the second largest LEGO set ever created - but it was never sold commercially. The 10,004 piece set was given away as the grand prize for a Legends of Chima competition in the July 2015 issue of LEGO Club Magazine and a smaller LEGO City set containing 5268 pieces was given away shortly afterward. These sets contained lots of smaller pre-existing sets, so it's still possible to gain the same collection commercially - just without the big box.

That completes our look at the biggest LEGO sets. As you may have noticed, the number of larger sets has increased in recent years.
