When it comes to the best Lego sets, it s hard to deny that bigger is better. With the largest sets sometimes reaching several feet in length, admittedly bigger isn t always more
practical, but as a fun and satisfying project to enjoy, it s hard to deny that the the more pieces, the more enjoyable a set is.
But if you re planning to go for something that will keep you occupied for hours and hours – the biggest and most complicated sets can provide 10+ hours of building entertainment, no question – what are the options, and how to they compare in terms of final results?
The Lego Creator Expert Ford Mustang was developed in a partnership between Ford and Lego Group and celebrated on International Lego Day (28 January). The Creator Expert: Ford Mustang model is based on a 1967 Fastback and is available to purchase in South Africa.
Made up of 1470 pieces, the nostalgic muscle car comes complete with working steering, dark-blue bodywork, white racing stripes, bonnet scoop, printed Mustang grille badge, GT emblems, and five-spoke rims with road-gripping tyres.
Measuring over 10cm high, 34cm long and 14cm wide, the set gives budding builders the chance to customise their all-American icon to their own specification thanks to a collection of optional add-ons - while retaining its instantly recognisable symbol of the Mustang pony logo. Customisation options include a supercharger, rear ducktail spoiler, beefy exhaust pipes, front chin spoiler and a nitrous oxide tank for an authentic muscle car build experience.
The New Lego “Ghostbusters” ECTO-1 Is Bigger Than My Head

In case you missed it, Lego recently debuted its largest, most-detailed version of the iconic ECTO-1 vehicle from the upcoming installation of the
Ghostbusters movie franchise,
Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Measuring 18 inches long, 8 inches high, and 6 inches wide, this thing is bigger than my head. (Yes, I used tape measure to compare and the thing is massive. The toy, not my head.)
In years past, the Lego company has produced smaller and less expensive versions of the ECTO-1, even creating a tiny tag base version for its
Lego Dimensions video game. But this gigantic iteration comes with a hefty price tag of $199.99. Although it’s not the most expensive Lego set out there (looking at you, $800 Millennium Falcon…), it’s still up there for a piece well… 2,352 pieces of film history.
