Grand Carousel

Moving on from Star Wars and New York, we have a set that will really astound you. The Grand Carousel includes over 3,000 parts and is controlled by a remote. The LEGO Creator series, which includes this elaborate carousel set, is a current example of the attention to detail that makes certain models so expensive. You may wonder why. The carousel is obviously completely functioning, and you're free to play with it––just don't ride it, okay?

To be honest, Grand Carousel's a large collection that will take all of your time to complete. However, because of its mechanical purpose, it's the one you're most eager to finish.

When everything is said and done, it's a really large set, but unlike some of the other sets on the list, you can imagine it being reasonably manageable to construct, right?

Cost: $2,300
