The biggest LEGO builds of all time - updated for 2023
Ever wondered what the largest LEGO sets of all time were? Well, wonder no longer as we take a look at the 30 biggest LEGO sets ever created that will keep your creativity flowing for hours on end.
This is the most up to date list on the web, containing the latest entries including Lord of the Rings Rivendell, the new Hogwarts Express set, the Eiffel Tower, the giant Hulkbuster and the Mandalorian ship - the UCS Razor Crest UCS.
The LEGO brick has helped fuel imaginations worldwide with bigger and better sets released every year. Back in January 1958, when the LEGO brick we know and love today was perfected, sets consisted of just 100 pieces. The 1958 LEGO church was the largest set at 149 pieces(!)
Over the years the numerous ways these lovable studded bricks can be stacked together in different configurations has produced countless sets and memories. With many builders still enjoying LEGO as adults (AFOL) we've seen larger and maturer sets become much more common.
Join us as we take a look at the top 30 biggest commercially released LEGO sets of all time. With entries from Batman, Ghostbusters, Harry Potter, Marvel, Disney and Star Wars, how many do you have in your collection? And, more importantly, how many do you want in your collection?

The Ultimate Battle for Chima & LEGO City Giant Packs
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. Which set is your favourite?
