Pieces: 4163
Minifigures: 0

9) LEGO Creator: Big Ben
Set Number: 10253
Pieces: 4163
Minifigures: 0
Released: July 2016
Much more recently, LEGO have released another London tourist spot in to their collection – the Elizabeth tower aka Big Ben. The tower is over 23 inches (59cm) tall and comes with amazingily detailed clock faces with movable hour and minutes hands.
It’ll cost you $249.99 / £179.99 / 219.99€ to pick up from the LEGO store.
8) LEGO Tower Bridge
Set Number: 10214
Pieces: 4287
Minifigures: 0
Released: Oct 2010
This set remains on the list of being on the Top 10 Biggest LEGO sets ever from our video back in 2014. Which is amazing! Glad you guys have stuck around since then.
The first of two London builds on the list, this set shows off London’s most iconic bridge complete with a working drawbridge. The final build is over 40 inches (101cm) long and 17 inches (43cm) high, so expect it to take some serious shelf space – though the set can be taken apart in modules for transportation.
The bridge wouldn’t be complete without some vehicles to drive across it, so this set comes with a black London taxi, red double-decker bus, green car and, er, an iconic yellow truck.
Tower Bridge can be purchased for US$239.99 / £219.99 / 219.99€ on the LEGO online shop and limited retail stores. As one of the longest selling sets, the chances are this will go in to retirement soon so pick it up while you still can!
7) LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters
Set Number: 75827
Pieces: 4634
Minifigures: 9
Released: Jan 2016
The iconic Ghostbusters firehouse HQ was faithfully recreated in LEGO for this mega-sized 4634 piece set.

Spook-wise there’s a Zombie Driver and the Library Ghost; as well as Slimer and two other flouresent ghosts.
The firehouse features a hinge which allows creators to look/play inside and provides just enough room for the ECTO-1 (sold separately) to fit.
It’s still available to purchase on the LEGO Store and at selected retailers for US $349.99 / £284.99 / 389.99€, but expect it to retire very soon.

This fifth – and biggest – attempt from LEGO at producing a Star Destroyer – not that the other versions were small.
This mighty ship includes swiveling guns, a tilting radar dish, huge engine exhausts, intricate surface detailing and more grey bricks than you could ever imagine.
You’ll need a fair bit of space to display this model as it measures over 17” (44cm) high, 43” (110cm) long and 26” (66cm) wide when placed on it’s stand. You’ll also need a fair bit of cash for it’s whopping US $699.99 / £649.99 price tag!

4) LEGO STAR WARS ULTIMATE COLLECTORS MILLENNIUM FALCON

Before 2017’s Millennium Falcon there was already a rather large replica of Solo’s “piece of junk”. Weighing in at 5197 pieces, until recently this set was the definitive version.

Pieces: 5922 / 5923

This set costs US $399.99 / £349.99 / 399.99€.
HONORABLE MENTION:
This set goes on the honorable mentions because technically it’s the biggest LEGO set ever created however it was never commercially sold and was given away as a grand prize for a LEGO Legends of Chima competition in July 2016 issue of LEGO Club Magazine. This set was a combination of many sets making up a total of 10,004 pieces and 92 minifigures. But onto the Biggest LEGO set ever sold to retail as of 2020.
1) LEGO STAR WARS UCS MILLENNIUM FALCON (2017)
Set Number: 75192
Pieces: 7541
Minifigures: 10
Released: Oct 2017
LEGO’s 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon contains 7541 pieces, setting the record for the largest individual LEGO set ever made.
As the biggest set on the list the new UCS Millennium Falcon comes in an impressive box and contains a greater level of external detail than any Millennium Falcon set ever has before, as well as several interior sections such as the main hold, the rear compartment, the top gunnery station and the cockpit.
You can configure the model to both old and new Star Wars styles and pilot the ship with the most age appropriate Han Solo fit for the task.
This ginormous set costs US $799.99 / £649.99 / 799.99€ and is available from October 2017. This seems like a lot of money, but if you’re a collector you will notice from the discontinued sets below that these sets eventually sell for a serious premium.
CONCLUSION: As you can tell, the number of larger LEGO sets has increased over the years. Many of the sets on this same list in 2014 have been replaced with even bigger sets as of 2020. LEGO seems to be like how the LEGO UCS sets have been preforming and sounds like we’ll continue to get bigger LEGO sets with the LEGO Star Wars Gunship UCS coming out later this year. It’s only a matter of time before we see a $1,000 LEGO set for retail.
