Top 10 Best Lego Themes
This theme should definitely be first. Ninjago is actually my life and I've been absolutely obsessed with it since it came came out. I haven't seen many other Lego themes, mostly just bits and pieces, and I'm sure they're good, but I could never watch and love them the way I love Ninjago. I love what Lego has done with the story line of this show and how they've expanded it and really developed the characters personalities. ESPECIALLY COLE! And Lloyd! I extremely recommend this show to anyone! I'm a teenage girl and I watch it, even though it was originally meant for 7-9 year old boys. This is my absolute favorite show in the world and NOTHING could ever replace it. This might be a show for people younger than me, but I don't care because it has great humor, amazing characters, interesting and well thought out storylines, and really great and inspiring quotes, sayings, and lessons. #NINJAGO IS LOVE #NINJAGO IS LIFE
Ninjago is the best Lego Series that I have ever seen in my entire life and I just can't stop watching it every second. It has really interesting legends and backstories that I can relate to my own life. But one thing to keep in mind is that some series or stories can take people away from reality. Like for example, Ninjago has a lot of magic shown ever since the first season have been published, and I had a dark feeling about this shown to little kids. It attracted me away from my Christian life. When I talked to my dad about it, he said that we as people shouldn't be attracted by supernatural things such as zombies, witches, dark magic, etc. Then he showed me a Bible verse that got stuck into my heart 'till this very day. In Hebrews 13:9, it says,"Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them." It means that we shouldn't be attracted by things that are ...more
Ninjago is the best show there is, trust me, I was a child and watched any shows but this one really caught my attention because of how awesome it is!
The sets are also incredibly and I really enjoy them, and I'm a 13 year old girl and it gives me life. I even have an Instagram and Twitter dedicated to it, so you can really tell I love it! It also has an amazing story that just grows. If this were a bad show then it wouldn't be here in second place and if you haven't watched it I suggest you do.
Ninjago has three great qualities that make me still love it at the age of 13.
1. The sets are amazing. Great, colorful and awesome design with the collectable weapons relating to every season and fun minifigures, vehicles, and settings from the show that make you want them all!
2. It's original, and that's always worth something. Of course, it's mainly based off Japanese myth and culture, but I don't think the world has ever seen this idea of ninja vs. monsters with tech and magic since Power Rangers.
3. The story never dies out. They have gone on for five years (7 seasons) with fresh new stories, characters and ways to make us want more from the show and theme itself. The stories, characters and scripting of the show makes me yearn to rewatch all the episodes when possible.
Do you kids have any idea of what Bionicle is? I mean really? Ninjago? NINJAGO? Why not just put that Chima bull while you're at it? I give Star Wars credit for getting Lego through some hard times. But Star Wars could never hope to achieve the gold standard that Bionicle did. Star Wars, while classic, required zero creativity. Lego didn't create it. Bionicle is the best Lego theme that has ever been created and will continue to be the best. You know why? Because it wasn't just a Lego toy. The sheer awesomeness of Bionicle allowed it to transcend mere limitations of being a mere plaything, it was its own mythology. Bionicle relied on the creativity of the user to become great.
And that is what makes Lego so great. That's the very essence of Lego. Imagination. Good trumping evil. Not just a bunch of stupid sets.
Bionicle was honestly the best theme LEGO has ever. Inspiring a generation younger people, myself included to create our own stories and characters. Especially since Bionicle had a complex but unique story, creatures, characters and cultures that could only be describe as both fictional story telling and sci-fi fantasy at its best.
I use make my own Bionicle characters (MOCs standing for "My Own Creations) and make stop-motion videos where I would upload them onto YouTube for viewers across the world to both watch, comment and give 5-star ratings (that was before YouTube had the like and dislike feature).
Bionicle had truly sparked my interest to have a creative career which I am working towards having.
I'm so glad now that Bionicle is the number one. I would still be glad if Star Wars remains #1 and this remaining 2nd because that would make sense since it's SW and it went from 1999 to now with great sets, and it smoothens out for Lego from getting rough times, which is second now. But having Bionicle would also makes sense since it saved Lego and it's great too, the nostalgia. And it's been created by Lego, a good work for them. While Star Wars is a licensed theme. Which considering the best non licensed theme is Bionicle and Best licensed theme is Star Wars. So these two should remain top two no matter what.
Honestly, this series means a lot to me. I collected more Bionicle sets than anything else in the world and, frankly, I wouldn't replace it with anything. The story is one of the most engaging and expansive in Lego's library and was their first original concept that really took off. A lot of the themes on this list exist solely because of Bionicle's existence and the continued popularity of Lego is caused by its success.
Simply put, Lego would not be around if Bionicle was not produced; at least, not in the form that we know it as. Yes, Star Wars is more recognizable and will probably win due to the support of wider audiences, but disregarding 3rd-Party IP's, Bionicle reigns supreme. The closest contender is Ninjago, but that series owes a lot of its success to Bionicle as well. If Star Wars was removed from the list, these two would probably tie.
When I was younger, I wasn't big on Lego Star Wars. I was collecting Legos from other themes more, but once I bought my first Star Wars set, I was thinking "more... I need MORE! "
Me being a huge Lego fan who's tried out Ninjago, Bionicle, Exo-Force, City, Creator, and a bunch of other great themes, I have to say that Star Wars surpasses all of them. The sets are epic collectibles and I still adore the AT-AT walker I have.
Star Wars is A+mazing! It's better than Ninjago because Ninjago is stupid. It's better than City because all City has is Police. Star Wars is so awesome I can't even begin to describe it!
Oh FYI for you Friendsfans out there, girls aren't some pink Barbies... They can - gasp*- actually live outside of makeup and boys! I'm not some extreme feminist or anything, but Star Wars and Marvel heroes (2 of my fave series' despite being a non-lesbian girl) can be for chicks too!
Star Wars is an amazing universe, really expanded. You can use Lego Star Wars in many ways. Il allows you, not only to do Space battle, but also grounds battles, with a lots of different vehicles. You can also create your own ships or vehicles. There is no limits to this universe, better than ninjago in my opinion.
The Star Wars LEGO sets have a super wide variety. For those interested in larger builds, there are thing like the Death Star. For smaller builds, there are Microfighters and then everything in between. This LEGO theme captures the iconic scenes and is great for collectors or just casual LEGO builders.
Basically the go-to theme for realistic cities. That's why this LEGO theme was called CITY. Cheap costs, superior functionality and above average quality for such a simple concept are what makes this theme unique and essential to creating a city. There are MOC's too and assembling them could be cheaper than an official set, but if you don't have the spare time, then get a ton of City sets and you're good to go.
Lego city model minifigs and parts are excellent for stop motion animation projects. While the buildings aren't great, they provide inspiration to make better ones yourself. As of now, definitely my favorite Lego theme.
There are so many sets that cover a range of things an they come in all sizes. Space is still my favourite along with alien conquest, but city is amazing too.
Just so simple yet amazing! Good sets all the time and can constantly add to your collection. And pretty cheap compared to some other themes.
It shows younger children the enjoyability of following Frodo's journey. It helps them interact will themes that might be known only by older children. Every minifigure is completely accurate to the actors who play the characters in the movie. I love this and I hope it lasts for many years. This should be number 1, not star wars (Though star wars is cool) There is only one word to describe this theme: EPIC!
How is this below lego city? Should be number 1, but I guess I didn't expect it to beat out longer run series like bionicle and star wars. Seriously, though, the sets were the coolest, the minifigures were not only the best, but came with the right sets. Read or watch LOTR and tell me you don't want the Mines of Moria set or Helms Deep. It doesn't matter if you're a kid or an adult, Lego LOTR is a dream!
LotR and The Hobbit Lego is a world of its own. Stories by Tolkien are there to create, but the bricks and minifigs also prive a great source material for other popular fantasy themes like Game of Thrones. Combine these LotR sets with some of the greatest Kindoms/Castle sets (Medieval Market Place, etc.) and you'll have an endless Lego playing experience. And finally, the minifigures are so well-designed that these fantastic characters will provide instant creativity. Thank you Lego and New Line Cinema!
After years of crappy castle themes (the last good one was the one with troll/orcs) finally a phoenix rises from the ashes. The fact that Lord of the Rings has toys, books, movies, video games, board games, now Lego video games, Legos, and Lego board games is one great achievement. I hope this theme doesn't die for many many many years to come. I'm still hoping for a Lego witch king, sauron, and balrog.
They did a great job with this theme. I own a good amount of the sets and I can say that this was my favorite theme.
Honestly the best licensed theme, this was great for both Indiana jones fans and also just people who want 1930s style stuff!
This theme had way too much untapped potential. It's a shame it got canceled so early.
This theme had wonderful pieces and Minifigures. I should have bought more sets from this theme! *Sigh*
I love Harry Potter, and the cool pieces and sets. It also has lots of room to create MOCs with.
Making a harry potter theme was a great idea. I think they executed it perfecly. Lots of adventure and fun. Though harry looks awful they should improve his look
Harry Potter is just like no, the worst theme ever, cut the budget WAY to much.
Extremely good nowadays. Own every Harry Potter set ever, and Diagon Alley is top notch, easily the greatest LEGO set ever
Atlantis is so awesome. The fish warriors the treasure keys the divers. I'm like totally crazy about the divers names like Lance spears, Captain Ace speed man. Totally creative. Also all but 2 of the sets are under 50$. So if you are fascinated by divers squid, Sharks, Barracudas and lobsters this is the series for you. Also they did an excellent job on making the golden Trident.
Honestly truly a great theme, it had really interesting sets that rivaled many others at the time. Cut from shelves way too soon.
Best original theme. Cool colour scheme, good moulds and vehicles. Just overall a solid theme.
Holy cow this theme has a lot of unique pieces.
I have built many Batman sets with my son, and I love them as much as he does!. , Jokers Ice cream surprise truck is ingenious
I bought the Tumbler a long time ago. Probably one of my best lego choices next to the AT-AT walker.
When you mix the best hero with the best toy you can't lose. How isn't number one?
Dc superheroes and batman should be number one.
I think that the only reason why this thing flopped was because of the timing and it replacing such a big franchise as ninjago. It got me into legos and I ended up taking over a whole entire bedroom with the legos. I still like to come up with creative plots with them. I think it should get a lot more credit than it is given, and the hate shouldn't of even existed. So many people are stupid when they look at it and say it sucks just because they wish their old line was still running. If people used their brains, like me and a few others, maybe they would realize how good it is. People are such potato heads!
This is my all-time favorite lego theme. As much as I love lego, this one is just my favorite. I really like the sets. They are extremely creative, awesome-looking, and fun to build. I also think it's Lego's most creative theme yet. Even though I've never had any Ninjago sets or watched the show, we've seen ninjas in the media a lot. Ninjago is creative, but definitely not as creative as Chima in my opinion. I really liked that we see animals instead of humans in a Lego theme (it is also the first theme to use animals as minifigures). The vehicles and characters are and look AWESOME! It's not a Thundercats rip-off (well, I can't be sure because I've never seen Thundercats). The show is also REALLY AWESOME! The worst part was that it was short-lived. I even created an idea for a follow-up a few years ago. My favorite characters were the wolf tribe and the phoenix kingdom and my favorite set is Worriz' Combat Lair. Truly underrated (Ninjago is overrated) and the best theme. More of this ...more
Chima has only been on for two years and the show is very childish. I've personally watched many episodes and can claim this. I cringe at the things they say. "All you have to defeat is that sneaky wolf worriz! " I mean really? It's for 5 year olds
In my opinion Chima is one of the best themes that Lego has made. Sure the story isn't as developed as Ninjago, but it has an amazing theme, the sets were cool and
story was...ok and over all it's Chima will always be my favourite.
Lego Marvel has a lot of cool Minifigures, sets, and more. They touch almost every MCU movie. They make new versions for characters and their Minifigures are very detailed. This should definitely surpass Harry Potter, Bionicle, Chima, and City.
While I actually prefer DC in everything else (DC rocks), LEGO is the only exception. MARVEL sets are really great, with an array of characters, cool vehicles, new molds, builds, and overall feel-good vibe. They are some of my favorite sets ever.
Lego "DC Super Heroes" is just a bunch of Batman sets, which I have no problem with to be honest. Seriously, random DC characters are shoehorned into Batman sets. The Superman vs. Lex Luthor was the only other real set that isn't Batman. In marvel, while they focus on the movies and Spiderman cartoon. They've at least been concentrating more on other heroes and villains which I love.
It is quite accurate and helps kids get into the theme of marvel. Its kind of advertising the comics which is cool. Quick message to anyone who has never read a marvel comic: Buy and read one now! (Avengers comics are the best! )
This was my favorite Lego theme out of all of them. When I was younger, I've always wanted to build the perfect Lego mech, and along came Exo-Force. I bought the hell out of these sets and I gotta say that I've never been more satisfied. Also, you gotta love the anime faces on the minifigures.
Great story, great characters, great villain, great character designs, one of the first Lego set to incorporate an anime theme and I even notice references to other anime, heck it should've had enough budget to get it's own anime. by the way I miss my childhood from 2006.
Definitely my favorite theme, why isn't it in the top ten? Pretty much all the sets are worth buying especially the striking venom and the huge green and black vehicle!
A great Anime-esque series. Despite having many sets, each was unique, and the characters were good. It served as some of the inspiration to Ninjago and Chima, neither of which live up to Exo Force, in my opinion.
Castle, Space and Pirate are all the best themes, but if I HAD to choose one it would be Castle. I guess this is just my age speaking but I hate all these licensed sets based on movies and whatnot. I loved the original Lego sets, ones created just for Lego. I loved all the different subthemes of Castle, from Black Knights, to Wolfpack, to Royal Knights, Dragon Knights, Fright Knights...all of them were fantastic.
This has been the source of adventures for basically 4 generations. It provides army building, creativity, and if you didn't get the castle, no problem, you just wait for the new sets. Castle should be number 1 because of its agelessness, creativity, army building, and variety.
I actually hate the fact that this series keeps getting rebooted in different ways. First, it was the castle series from Lego System, then it was Lego Knights Kingdom, then Lego Castle, then Lego Kingdoms, now it's Lego Nexo Knights.
I have so many memories with LEGO Castle (2007-2010) Probably the best there for me!
Don't listen to those arrogant Bionicle. This was theme was really cool. I especially loved the Brain Attack line! Bionicle is cool too though.
I couldn't believe they cut Bionicle for this one but it wasn't too bad of a theme. I also like the mechs they released at one point, but I was a big fan of Exo-Force so of course I like lego mechs. I'm very happy they brought back Bionicle, though.
Should be much higher than Chima. This is coming out of a fan of both.
It was alright for those of us who missed bionicle.
Very cool. You get to program robots that have so many functions. You can make your robots talk, move, and act like a human. There are even robot clubs that uses Mindstorms.
Who doesn't want to build a robot?
Great fun, satisfying robots.
Found It as an adult but found the same amazing elements original space, pirates and castle had. Great story, original builds and fantastic playability. Not to mention amazing Rock Monsters minifigures.
I'm surprised how negative Rock Raiders fans are around Power Miners. Maybe I'm just blinded by nostalgia, but I loved these sets as a (much younger) kid.
Power Miners had some of the best vehicles, and has the best play value out of any Lego theme I own.
This series has great vehicles, great minifigures, a great story and many rare pieces and colors that are exclusive to the series.
This Theme was probably the most memorable space theme I could remember from my childhood, just thinking about the storyline of potential baddies in the galaxies really makes you imagine what kind of stuff could happen in the future if we had stuff like that, I remember playing with the sets so much that I still have some of the sets and they give me so much good memories of my childhood, lego needs to bring themes like this back to life, otherwise kids may never experience the themes that we had in our childhood.
Its got an amazing story line, cool sets, and can help people imagine blasting off into space.
Why the hell was this even replaced with Alien Conquest... Luckily we have Bricklink and Ebay
The figures in the theme are amazing!
Lego Agents should be number one! Its sets were so great. Agent Chase, Dr Inferno, all of the characters were awesome and badass, unlike that horrible low quality rip off derivation known as Ultra Agents. Seriously, Lego Agents were realistic enough to be a reflection from spies and notorious syndicate corporations which summed up my perfect childhood. Seriously, most lego themes these days just copies super heroes all the time. Lego Agents deserve to continue on, even though its been eight years since they stopped producing them.
Lego Agents was not the best but it was pretty cool and had some really cool pieces/minifigures. a villain with eight legs!
Agents was a great one. I still own the headquarters truck. It's a great collectible.
Lego agents should definitely be on the list!
It's a great lego theme, with a lot of great minifigures and set pieces.
DC is the best thing you can think of.
Sucks marvel is better
It should be higher
I wish you could see which mini figure you're getting instead of crinkling the bag to get the one you want. This method has hardly ever failed me, though. I'd always get the cool ones like a samurai and a snowboarder.
This series does something that no other series does: sell minifigures that either a) have been edited from previous outdated versions or b) have never been released before and introduce to the Lego Universe new and awesome parts. Also there will be an MMO later in 2014 that looks amazing!
Minifigures is a legend. You can collect 16 awesome figures (with exception to the Disney and team GB but all the figures in the series were awesome just that they didn't have 16 figs in the series. Good thing its in the top 25.
Collecting theses are so fun. There are so many franchises and companies that have a mini figure series. There are just the normal 18 series, omplyic 2012, Lego movie, simspions, Disney, Harry Potter, Lego batman movie, Lego ninjago movie, Unikitty, Lego movie 2 and German footballers. So much fun.
I don't understand why this theme along with Space and Castle themes are not higher. My guess is because there's more kids that care enough about legos to come here and vote for their favourite set than old fart like me losing my time. Anyway, what I like about these themes is that they're continuously reinventing themselves, I personally think the sets from the late 80's and 90's are really good, not only because they're the one I played with as a kid, but because of the way they were built. For example take a look at the ships of Pirates of the Caribbean theme (black pearl and queen anne's revenge versus those first Pirate ships (black sea barracuda and skull's eye schooner). Sure at first glance those from PoC look better, there's 22 and 18 years between the old ones and those, but when you look further than the exterior you can see that the old one were better build, they put effort in the details to make it look realistic. They had detailed hold for the cannons with closed cabins ...more
Islands in the sun. Bounty! Loot! Secret pirate bases. Sea forts. Fair maidens. Mutinies. War on the high seas! Sunken ships. Buried Treasure! What's there not to like?
I loved the setting. With only minor modifications you can have historical battles as well.
What a theme. It was a huge step for Lego. New faces, amazing sets built from do little Brick choice.
Pirates is so underrated, it had amazing minifigures and amazing battles.
Who says it's for girls, oh please, stop the "girl toy" trash*. Blah blah. Rubbish. All that trash about "boys don't play friends, that's for girls!" That's gender bias I tell you, so LEGO, STOP TAGGING "FOR GIRLS" RUBBISH. what, girls' parents let them play with stereotype girls so that when they grow up they what, sell cupcakes (okay, no offense to cupcake sellers, cupcakes are delicious)?, while boys' parents let them play city etc. so that they can be engineers, astronauts, architectures?
Just because it is for girl does not mean it is good. The normal LEGO sets were already gender neutral. They didn't need to make this minifigures creepier than the Clone Wars sets. And the colors are ways to bright. All the shows made for it are abysmal. Especially the Netflix series that looks almost nothing like LEGO. Every girl I know hates LEGO Friends and hope it gets canceled.
This should be taken of the list of just how stereotypically girly it is, just about a bunch of dumb, blonde haired girls who are always smiling creepily and think everything is great in the world. Plus they don't even look like actual Lego figures. PLEASE stop making this Lego!.
Friends is a truly underrated theme. What I like best about it is that they make everything I wish CITY would make, like restaurants, houses, hotels, stores, and more!
While not the most kids friendly to build, the end results are always the best. I started off as a Lego Star Wars guy and after my first Technic set it was all them. They have the most playability and functions.
As I have grown out of classic Lego (when around the age of 10, I am 12 now), this the best theme in my field of vision. Realistic, high playability, a great challenge... the list is endless.
It's fun to build one and all of the sets look awesome not to mention they can have epic features and sometimes Power Functions! Best Lego theme in my opinion.
The build experience is complex and enjoyable and the products you get after the build always have great features you rarely see in other themes.
Movie accurate sets, cool minifigures, and really fun builds. Too bad it didn't last very long. I still think they should have made the Flying Dutchman with the kraken
I always wished I could get these, but I couldn't, and it stunk!
The LEGO movie should be number one, not Ninjago, and plus this animation is very funny, while Ninjago just has too much color in it.
How the heck is this theme lower than ninjago. This is an entire theme about creativity while ninjago is the same thing each wave: oversized colourful vehicles
Good movie, good sets, minifigures are unusable for my MOCs.
Ninjago is trash. Double decker couch is art
