The Top 5 LEGO^® Themes of 2025 — Why Builders Can’t Get Enough

If you’ve been building LEGO^® sets in 2025, chances are you’ve gravitated toward at least one of these themes. Some LEGO® themes just hit differently — whether it’s for play, display, or the pure joy of putting bricks together.

Right now, five LEGO^® themes clearly stand out with fans: LEGO^® City, LEGO^® Technic, LEGO^® Botanicals, LEGO^® Icons, and LEGO^® Star Wars^™ sets. So what’s the secret sauce behind their popularity? Let’s dive in.

1. LEGO^® City — Everyday Adventures, Unlimited Imagination

LEGO® City turns everyday life into epic adventures. From bustling airports and busy construction sites to heroic fire stations and police headquarters, these sets allow builders to recreate real-world scenes with endless creativity.

City sets are easy to jump into, highly playable, and perfect for storytelling. Kids love these LEGO City models, parents recognise them instantly, and even adult fans appreciate how well LEGO City buildings fit into custom layouts and MOCs. No matter how many other LEGO themes you collect, LEGO City always feels like home.

2. LEGO^® Technic — Engineering Fun Meets Real-World Mechanics

If you enjoy LEGO builds that make your brain work harder, LEGO^® Technic sets are probably your thing. Gears, steering, suspension, engines — these LEGO Technic models are all about how things work.

There’s something incredibly satisfying about watching a complex LEGO Technic mechanism come together. These builds appeal to car lovers, engineers-at-heart, and AFOLs who want a project that feels more like real-world engineering than traditional play.

3. LEGO^® Botanicals — Build Creativity That Blooms

A few years ago, no one expected LEGO^® Botanical sets to become this popular — and yet, here we are. These plant and floral LEGO models have completely changed how people see LEGO building.

LEGO Botanicals brings a fresh twist to building with stylish plant and floral designs that double as home décor. Perfect for gifting or decorating your space, Botanicals attracts adults and collectors who want a LEGO experience beyond traditional play. 

4. LEGO^® Icons — Sophisticated Sets for Collectors

LEGO^® Icons sets are where LEGO design truly leans into adult builders. These LEGO display models are meant to be built slowly, enjoyed step by step, and proudly shown off once complete.

From vehicles and landmarks to artistic builds, Icons models are detailed, stylish, and unapologetically grown-up. If you love the building experience as much as the final LEGO display piece, this theme is hard to resist.

5. LEGO^® Star Wars^™ — Bringing the Galaxy Home

It’s no surprise that LEGO^® Star Wars^™ continues to dominate. By combining the beloved Star Wars universe with LEGO building, these sets appeal to fans both young and old. Frequent new releases, detailed models, and iconic characters keep the theme fresh and collectible. LEGO^® Star Wars^™ sets are more than toys—they’re a way to bring a galaxy far, far away right into your home.
