LEGO Best and Worst Sets of 2023

The end of 2023 is now here and according to Brickset, there have been about 921 LEGO products that have been released this year. Here’s the shortlist of my top five sets as well as top five flops of the year. Of course, this is my opinion and your list may differ widely.


TOP SETS OF 2023

LEGO The Lord of the Rings Rivendell (10316)

The Lord of the Rings theme came back in a very unexpected way. Instead of releasing a small wave of sets, we get one of the biggest sets that LEGO has produced in a while. The 6,167 piece set featured a very nice representation of Rivendell that was highly detailed with scenes from the movies.


LEGO Icons Eldorado Fortress (10320)

I’m a big fan of nostalgia and LEGO has been hitting the mark with these classic-style inspired sets the past few years. Eldorado Fortress gives the old-school feel of the 1989 set but with a modernized finish. The addition of the pirate galleon is also appreciated because it basically gives you another set as it was based one from the Imperial Trading Post (6277).


LEGO Indiana Jones Temple of the Golden Idol (77015)

Indiana Jones is one of my favorite movie series and I wasn’t back into the hobby when the first sets were released but back in April, LEGO came back with three more Indiana Jones sets. My favorite of the three was the Temple of the Golden Idol simply because it features some of the main opening scenes … Continue

LEGO Icons Lord of the Rings Rivendell (10316) Designer Video

A short while ago, LEGO released the designer video for the new LEGO Icons Lord of the Rings Rivendell (10316). LEGO Designers Chris Perron, Wes Talbott, and Ashwin Visser talk about the many details that can be found in the 6,167 piece set. This is one of the longer designer videos that LEGO has put out in a long time.

The set is still available for purchase on the LEGO Shop and you just have a few days left to get in on the promo for the free LEGO BrickHeadz Frodo & Gollum (40603) which ends tomorrow night. The Houses of the World 1 (40583) has already sold out again. That one was supposed to run until next Sunday. LEGO Brand Stores may still have them in stock so I would call your local one to check.
