Top 10 Best LEGO Video Game sets

Now your playing with bricks.

After getting back into LEGO this year, I learned that LEGO has been making some pretty good sets based on video games. From Minecraft, to Mario, to even the likes of Portal, LEGO has built some amazing looking sets.

There are even more amazing video game sets coming out this 🍌year too, including the first Zelda set and the Fortnite Battle Bus. But we already have so many great ones to choose from, so wiওthout further ado here are some of the best.

Did you know LEGO made a Portal 2 set that was a tie-in with their short-lived video game Lego Dimensions💞? Yup, and it even has a Chell minifigure ꦉand portal gun.

For the builds, you get a turret and companion cube. However, because of it being a toys-to-life product, it means they are small and not up to the usual standard of the typical LEGO builds you’re used to. But if you’re a LEGO and Portal fan, this one is a no-brainer.

I almost forgot LEGO partnered with Overwatch, but that partnership did give us a sweet LEGO D.Va and Reinhardt. The D.va mech build is incredibly accurate, while Reinhardt’s is a bit too big for my liking.

The mini figures included are so detailed and a reason alone to pickꦺ up൲ this set. The mechs pose well and will look great on any shelf.

We haven’t gotten a full size LEGO arcade cabinet set yet, but the LEGO PAC-MAN Arcade is pretty close. It contains a nifty feature that lets you simulate a game of PAC-MAN with the turn of a crank.

Theไ side builds are a nice add on, one having a fun mechanic that turns Pac-Man to chase the ghosts and another a small mini-figure scale arc𝓰ade to play at. It’s a tad expensive but a neat display piece.

What is an adult-oriented LEGO Super Mario set that isn’t over 100 dollars? Tไhis silly꧒ little Piranha Plant!

It’ll go great with your LEGO botanical collection and is secretly a piggy bank too.😼 It lacks possibility, but it more than makes up for🤪 it in charm. Just look at the smile.

Bowser 🍷is riding in ಌstyle in this huge airship set. At least, he would be if he was in this set.

It is both displayable and highly playable. If you have an 💖electronic Mario figure, you can even do a huge boss fight on it by folding out the whole ship. I personally love the adorable Bow♌ser face at the front of the boat and hidden features, like defeating the huge mechanical hand

If you want a LEGO set to really impress any gamers who come to your place, this is the one. This set is not only impressive for an almost life-like looking replica for the original NES, but also has a mind-blowing play feature of replicating the original Super Mario Bros.

It even comes with a LEGO cartridge you can stick into the console and mimics the feeling of the real thing pretty well. Only one problem with this set: I could buy an actual NES and Super Mario Bros. for less.

If you ever wanted to have Green Hill Zone from the original Sonic the Hedgehog game sitting right on your desk, now you can with this retro-style set. It is almost like LEGO took a section of the first level right out o🎀f the game, with lives on the bottom corner and all.

The pixelated details on the gras🍸s are fun touches and the designs for the ene🌠mies are a plus. However, the same can’t be said about that freaky-looking Dr. Eggman. Beyond that, this is a nice throwback display.

I loved the Minecraft back in the day, but this feels like a f𓆉ully realized version of those to me. It has so many biomes and mobs represented, from a little village to 🐽the ice spires.

There are many display 🍸options too, like turning it around and revealing a lovingly recreated crafting table. Also, if you take off all the mini biomes, you can spot a map of the build underneath. W🎐hile this set looks awesome, it is a tad expensive which brings it down.

If you are going to get any of the LEGO Animal Crossing sets, this is the one to get. Firstly, the two minifigures incl🥂uded, Isabelle and Fauna, and some of the cutest ever made.

Second, there are so many loveable details in this set. The house design is adorable (if a little underbuilt), there are coins and branches in the tree, and there’s even a K.K. Slider album LEGO tile included. It is an amazing package for Animal Crossing lovers.

This set is my personal favorite. The Tallneck build on its own is a beautiful robot build. You don’t even need to be a Horizon fan to appreciate it.

The building techniques on this one are so impressive, with many sideways builds to get the angles perfect. Add in a perfec𝔍t Aloy mini figure, a little Watcher machine, and a wonderfulܫ base that evokes the feeling of the game perfectly including the red reeds to sneak in, and you got yourself an incredible display.
