1. 31203 LEGO Art World Map
The biggest LEGO set of all time is the LEGO Art World Map. This set includes over 11,000 pieces. Different from other sets similar in size, this set mainly consists of single studs combined to create a map of the world.
Unlike other sets, this LEGO Art World Map can be hung up on your wall in any room as art, or placed in your special LEGO collection room.
This set is over two feet tall and three feet wide. It can be customized for each builder through the special brick-built pins included. Whether you are an avid traveller that wants to keep pins in each of your exotic destinations or a hopeful traveller, using those pins for your dream destinations, this set is perfect for you.

2. 10307 – Eiffel Tower
A brand-new set, as of November 25th this year, the Eiffel Tower is now the tallest LEGO set to exist at almost five feet tall. This set includes 10,001 pieces, less than the World Map, but none less impressive.
Although this set won’t take two years to build, as the real Eiffel Tower did, it still will take an elaborate amount of time for its construction. It includes realistic truss work and elevators, rivalling the actual one in France in beauty and detail.
Not only one of the biggest but also one of the most expensive LEGO sets ever released.

The infamous ship, the Titanic comes in as the third largest LEGO set ever. Including a little over 9,000 pieces, it is over four feet long.
For those who are history lovers and know the details of the ship’s interior inside and out, this set doesn’t disappoint. Ranging from the first-class beauty to the steamy boiler rooms this set includes them all.

4. 10276 Colosseum
One of Rome’s most famous man-made landmarks is the Colosseum. Measuring six acres in real life, the LEGO version is also large. Containing over 9,000 pieces, it comes in as the fourth largest set.
Once built, the Colosseum measures almost a foot high and almost two feet wide. If you are looking for a challenge, try to beat the world record of construction for this set, which was done in 13 hours. That means you’d have to place more than 11 building blocks per minute.

5. 75192 Millennium Falcon
At number five sits a set that my family proudly owns. Although not as big as the entirety of the Star Wars fan base, The LEGO Millennium Falcon is still a huge set. Including almost 8,000 pieces, this set takes a while to build.
The Millennium Falcon set is the first on this list that includes LEGO Minifigures. Even though it appears in multiple Star Wars movies, providing space travel to many characters, this specific set includes the characters riding aboard and seen outside of the ship during The Empire Strikes Back–Han, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and a Mynock. Additionally, it includes characters from The Force Awakens–an older Han, Rey, Finn, BB-8, and Porgs.
Perfect for your LEGO room or your Star Wars shrine, the Millennium Falcon set includes everything to the very tiniest detail. Since its first release in 2007, it has increased in brick size, details, and Minifigures.

6. 75313 UCS AT-AT
With Star Wars being as loved as it is, it’s no surprise it holds multiple spots on the largest sets ever list. This specific set is two feet tall with almost 7,000 pieces.
The Ultimate Collectors Series AT-AT set also includes mini figures of Luke Skywalker, General Veers, a Snowtrooper Commander, some snow troopers, and two AT-AT drivers. With its moveable legs, you can easily recreate the scene in The Empire Strikes Back where Luke causes the AT-AT to crumble to the ground.
The detailed interior of this set is large enough to fit 40 Minifigures inside! The sides of this set can come off easily to display the cockpit and body of the AT-AT. In addition to the AT-AT itself, the set also comes with speeder bikes, a blaster, and a cable for Luke to hang from.

With signs and logos, banners, and scoreboards, this set is every soccer fan’s dream. Although you can’t fit all your LEGO Minifigures into the seats to recreate the real fan base seen during soccer matches, you can drive the team bus up by your stadium once you’ve finished its construction.

This beautiful, historic palace is recreated into one of the biggest LEGO sets. Built, in memory of the emperor’s wife, you can always build this set-in honor of someone you love as well. Due to its popularity, it was re-released in 2017, after its original release in 2008.
The Taj Mahal set includes almost 6,000 LEGO bricks and stands over a foot tall. Even though this gorgeous Wonder of the World may be on your hopeful bucket list, you can at least make it one of the wonders in your home. This set is the perfect addition to the LEGO Art World Map.

12. 75978 – Diagon Alley
In the Harry Potter books and movies, you become familiar with Diagon Alley. Here is the location where wizards come to shop. This large LEGO set includes 5544 pieces.
Something unique about this specific set is its customizability. You can choose to build it in four different ways. In addition, Diagon Alley includes a variety of stickers to place on specific bricks as you are building it.
It also includes four Minifigures only available in this set: Gilderoy Lockhart, Florean Fortescue, Lucius Malfoy, and the Daily Prophet Photographer. Not only does it come with unique Minifigures, but also shops such as Flourish and Blotts, Ollivanders, and Quality Quidditch Supplies.
Total Pieces = 5544
13. 10284 – Camp Nou-FC Barcelona
One of the few LEGO stadiums, Camp Nou is the second largest of them. With 5509 pieces, it is very detailed. Just as the Real Madrid Stadium comes with stadium seating, so does this stadium. Although you can’t fit LEGO Minifigures in the seats, the stadium still does them justice.
Additionally, this stadium includes a players’ tunnel, press section, and VIP pass section. The flags that fly over the stadium brightly support the home team. The entire stadium can also come apart into five different sections that are combined. This set is great to add to your growing collection of sports team memorabilia.
Total Pieces = 5509
14. 76505 – Hogwarts Express Collectors’ Edition
Another popular collector addition to LEGO is the Hogwarts Express. This set contains a little over 5000 pieces. If you already own Diagon Alley and Hogwarts, add Hogwarts Express to your collection.
It also contains 20 Minifigures, ranging from Harry Potter to a Dementor. Not only does this set come with the train, but also the station and a three-room passenger car. This LEGO allows you to recreate multiple scenes from the movies from the beginning where Harry, Ron, and Hermione meet to Albus Severus’s beginning.
Total Pieces = 5129
15. 70620 Ninjago City
Few other sets can match the 70620 Ninjago City in any category. Based on the original LEGO Ninjago movie, this set gives you the opportunity to own Ninjago city at home, together with 16 incredible characters as minifigures.
The massive building that takes nearly 5000 pieces to build has three levels that include several separate colorful sections each. It is unimaginable how much talent it takes to envision such a building but the creators have done an outstanding job with this set.
Although I have never been a fan of the animation, this set makes me want to like it and own the entire collection.
Year: 2017

16. 75252 – Imperial Star Destroyer
Unfortunately, the incredible LEGO Imperial Star Destroyer set is being retired soon. Coming with almost 5,000 pieces, this set is over three feet long and two feet wide, making it the longest LEGO set ever!
This iconic ship will be the perfect addition to your collection of Star Wars LEGOs. Just as it is attached to the Tantive IV in A New Hope, you can do the same with this set. A small version of a buildable Tantive IV comes with it.
Despite its size and a large number of officers and troopers usually found aboard it in the movies, this set only comes with two Minifigures: An Imperial Officer and Crew member. If you are an avid Star Wars LEGO collector though, this will be no problem for you, as you already own a variety of characters from other sets.
Year: 2019
Piece Count: 4784

Minifigures: Imperial Officer, Imperial Crew

17. 75827 – Firehouse Headquarters
An already retired LEGO set, the Firehouse Headquarters from Ghostbusters comes in as the 16th largest LEGO set. With over 4000 bricks, it also includes nine memorable Minifigures.
The front door of the firehouse can open to fit in another LEGO set–the Ghostbusters Ecto-1. The Firehouse Headquarters is over a foot wide and a foot tall. The walls can easily open up as well to see the interior of the firehouse as well.

18. 10305 – Lion Knights’ Castle
The Lion Knights’ Castle is another set that was just released this year. Although the LEGO Knights series has been around for almost a century, this set was made in honor of 90 years of LEGO history.
Coming with over 4000 LEGO pieces, this set includes 22 Minifigures ranging from king and queen to forest people. This castle includes a vast selection of rooms, fitting for a castle. Some of these rooms store secret passageways and moveable walls.
This set was designed after the King’s Castle set was created in 1984. Because of the variety of Minifigures, rooms, and proportions of this set, it is easy to create any medieval scene your heart desires!
Total Pieces = 4514
19. 10214 Tower Bridge
The LEGO Tower Bridge is another set that has been retired. Numbering 4295 bricks, this set measures over a foot tall and three feet long when its construction is finished.
It was designed after the famous London Tower Bridge in England. The bridge allows you to raise and lower the drawbridge on it. This set also comes with four different vehicles to drive across your bridge.

20. 31205 – Jim Lee Batman Collection
DC fans adore the Jim Lee Batman Collection LEGO. This set comes with just over 4000 pieces. Similar to the Hogwarts Crest LEGO, this set can be built to create three different images: Batman, Harley Quinn, or the Joker. If you want all three though, you would have to buy three different sets.
This set is a great option for those who love to display their love of DC and their LEGOs as artwork in their home. It can easily be hung up on your walls. Another special factor to this LEGO set is in addition to creating three different images, you can also choose to buy two sets to create a DC Batman and Catwoman picture. Or you can buy three and create a large image of Batman.
The Jim Lee Batman LEGO set was created by the famous comic book writer and artist it was named for. Additionally, it comes with two hangers to display your artwork on and nine canvas decor plates.
Total Pieces = 4167
21. 10253 Big Ben
While Big Ben is currently closed to the public for renovations, you can have your own exact recreation of the legendary building at home with the 10253 Big Ben set.
What can we say about this set? It is an outstanding structure that will look perfect on display at your home. There are no minifigures included but the remarkable design and detailing make up for this omission.
While you cannot expect any functionality or motorized features from a set like this one, we need to mention that the clock hands are movable.

22. 10261 Roller Coaster
The 10261 Roller Coaster is definitely not your typical LEGO set but it is among the most entertaining sets you can buy. It is also one of the tallest sets to ever be released.
This roller coaster has a fully functional chain lift roller coaster and comes with 11 incredible minifigures. We need to mention the engineering behind this set that is truly outstanding. While the design may have its weak points, it must take a lot of effort to make such a structure and have it work properly, the functionality is impressive.

23. 42082 Rough Terrain Crane
Here we have the largest Technic set to date – the 42082 Rough Terrain Crane. LEGO has released numerous crane sets in the past but none can compare with the size and functionality of this set.
This is one of those sets that deserve an entire review on its own which is why we cannot list all the incredible features here. All we can say is that it is equipped with countless small details and accessories that complete the larger motorized functions.
The only issue is that due to the immense weight of this set, some of the motorized features like the outriggers are slower than usual.
It is surprising how well priced this set was when it was released in 2018 based on the incredible piece count – 4057. If you are into cranes, what are you waiting for?

24. 71040 Disney Castle
The largest LEGO Disney set to date is, of course, the legendary Cinderella Castle from the theme park near Paris. With this set, you can own an exact replica of the castle together with several of the most iconic characters as minifigures.
Perhaps the only issue I could find with this set was that there were too few minifigures for such an enormous set dedicated to Disney. There are hundreds of iconic Disney characters that could be included here and having only five in such a grand set was an interesting decision.
Year: 2016
Piece Count: 4043
Ages: 16+
Minifigures: Tinkerbell, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse
Original Retail Price: $349.99

25. 75159 Death Star
With its impressive 4016 pieces, this behemoth of a Death Star set is not even close to the largest LEGO Star Wars sets but it does not yield in anything. With an incredible minifigure selection that counts 27 characters and the incredibly detailed design, it is a dream come true for any Star Wars fan.
Released in 2016, it was a remake of the original 2008 version that includes 3 additional minifigures, more pieces, and Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter.
While the old Death Star can only be found for sale for a small fortune nowadays, you can still find this one for a fair price.
The only issue fans had with this model was that it had only minor improvements from the original set. I also believe that LEGO missed a great opportunity to create a significantly better set and possibly the greatest ever, so if you wonder which one you should get, know that the differences are minor.
Year: 2016
Piece Count: 4016
Ages: 14+
Minifigures: R2-D2, C-3PO, Chewbacca, Han Solo (blue legs), Luke Skywalker (Tatooine), Princess Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker (Final Duel), Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo (Disguise), Luke Skywalker (Disguise), R3-M3, Death Star Droid, Stormtroopers (2), Imperial Gunners (2), Death Star Troopers (2), Imperial Officer, Imperial Navy Officer, Grand Moff Tarkin, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Royal Guards (2)

Final Thoughts
As can be seen throughout this article, some LEGO sets have held their place in the world as the largest, while others have lost their spot to newer, bigger sets. No matter what though, LEGO has a set designed to make your children or your inner child happy.
It’s exciting to see this list constantly growing and changing. I can’t wait to see what the biggest LEGO set may be in a few years. Who knows, they may add another Star Wars or Harry Potter one to the mix!
