TBB’s best and worst sets of 2025 [Feature]

The Brothers Brick (TBB) reviewed many LEGO sets in 2025, and they've compiled a list of the best and worst sets of the year. The reviews cover a range of themes, from Star Wars to Marvel and even the new Nike and Nintendo collaborations. The TBB team shared their opinions on which sets stood out for better or worse, highlighting both the successes and shortcomings of the year's releases.

Among the worst sets, the Star Wars theme had a few misses. Set 75406 Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle was criticized for its high price of $70 relative to its features. Set 75413 Republic Juggernaut was deemed overpriced at $160, even with the inclusion of Galactic Marines minifigures. The Nike-themed set 43010 Nike Slam Dunk was also criticized for its lack of playability and the excessive use of stickers. The Marvel set 76314 Captain America: Civil War Action Battle, priced at $100, failed as both a display piece and a playset. The Icons 10351 Sherlock Holmes Book Nook and 10367 Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook were disappointing despite their interesting concepts.

On a more positive note, some sets received high praise. The Botanicals 10349 Happy Plants, with its simple and adorable design, resonated well with the LEGO community. The Speed Champions F1 Collection, sets 77242-77251, were lauded for their interesting techniques and affordable prices. The Jurassic World 76968 Dinosaur Fossils: Tyrannosaurus Rex was declared a favorite, with its impressive size and display potential. The Mario 72037 Mario & Standard Kart set was praised for its perfect scale, recognizable design, and reasonable price. Finally, the One Piece 75639 Going Merry Pirate Ship was also a hit.
