Lego makes sets explicitly targeted at adults that can be a great tool to unwind, relax, and destress.

There's no denying that Lego has taken a trip down memory lane with adults of all ages. That's because what used to be a favorite toy growing up is now enjoyed by adults who need some playtime or relief from the stress of our daily lives.

Adult fans can choose from various themes, including Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and many others. Although, obviously you can purchase and build any Lego set your heart desires.

The following are some of our favorite Lego sets designed specifically for adults:

 

Art Series

Art in any form is wonderful.

It brightens up an otherwise drab and dull environment; it gives us something to think about, or it makes us think about things we may otherwise not have considered.

The new series of Lego Art sets reinvents iconic masterpieces from the world's most influential artists, musicians, and movie characters.

Architecture

The Lego Architecture series is composed of architectural landmarks and cityscapes from all over the world: from the Empire State Building to the London Eye, and including the Burj Khalifa, Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, among many more.

 

Whether you have an affinity for history or simply want to appreciate some fantastic buildings and cityscapes, these builds will open your eyes to a whole new way of looking at buildings (even if you can't visit them in person).

Different designs come and go, but here are the current models available for sale by Lego.

Ideas

The idea behind Lego Ideas is simple.

It's a platform where anyone can submit a product, and if it receives 10,000 votes from the community, it goes into a rigorous review process by Lego. There are many criteria they consider, but if it gets approved by the review board, the submission goes into production.

It's a way for Lego fans to have a say in what gets made.

 

Some Ideas Sets that have been produced are: Saturn V rocket, Grand Piano, Central Perk, DeLorean Time Machine, and Wall-E
