Lego Games, Toys & Sets: The Simpsons House, Star Wars TIE Prototype, and Lord of the Rings
Even though it's the day before Christmas, there are plenty of folks who are still in need of a few gift ideas to round out everybody who's on their shopping list. Does this sound like you? If so, keep reading.
One of best crowd-pleasing gift ideas out there is Lego sets. Legos are a fantastic gift for a number of reasons. They come in a variety of themes, ranging from super-popular film franchises like "The Lord of the Rings," to incredible fan-favorite video game franchises like "Minecraft." Simply put, there's a themed Lego set out there for almost everyone.
Also, Lego sets come in a variety of sizes and price ranges. So, if you want to splurge, you can spring for a tricked out $100+ set, or a scaled-down tiny set that harkens back to the well-received "Lego Movie."
With that in mind, here are our picks for the three best Lego sets that you should get as part of your last minute holiday shopping spree.
They don't call it "Minecraft" for nothing.
The Mine Lego set is a multi-level structure that shows off the innards of an ore mine, complete with TNT explosives, a creeper, a track, and a cart for transporting extracted ore. A Steve figurine is also included, complete with a sword and a bow. A spider, a zombie, and a skeleton are the other monsters that Steve is battling against in this set.
If you have a "Minecraft" fanatic in your family, this set is sure to make them smile on Christmas Day.
Now, who doesn't love "The Simpsons?"
There's a Lego set that pays tribute to the long-running animated series by recreating the house that the family lives in on the show, complete with the garage, and the pink family car.
On top of that, Lego throws in a bunch of cool extras, including Home, Marge, Lisa, Bart, Maggie and Ned Flanders figurines. Each figurine also comes with its own accessory as well. For instance, Homer is carrying a briefcase, Bart is on a skateboard and Ned is barbecuing.
This set would make any "Simpsons" fan shriek with delight.
2015 will bring about a brand new "Star Wars" movie. If you have a "Star Wars" devotee in your family, you can make the wait a bit easier on them by getting them this "Star Wars"-themed Lego set.
TIE Advanced Prototype centers around a revamped version of the aircraft that the Empire flies in its battles against the Rebellion, including Darth Vader himself. This set includes a complete TIE fighter, along with a TIE Fighter Pilot, and an Imperial Officer.
On top of that, the fighter's wings fold in multiple modes for flight and landing, a top-mounted hatch which opens up, a pair of spring-loaded shooters, and extra ammo as well.
4. Lord of the Rings - Council of Elrond
Ever wish you could've been a fly on the wall during this big powwow?
This Council of Elrond set from The Lord of the Rings features figurines of Frodo Baggins, Elrond, Arwen, and Gimli. You'll also get a catapulting podium, the hidden Eye of Sauron and weapons for each figurine, including a bow, a sword, and an axe.
5. Lego Batman Minifigure Clock
This figurine features Batman in his classic caped crusader look, while also doubling as a clock as well.
This figure has movable arms, legs, wrists, and Batman's head can be adjusted as well, so Batman is fit for crime-fighting as well as time-telling duty. Plus, there's a built-in alarm clock, so you can choose to start your day alongside the Dark Knight each morning if you wish.
