Top 10 Rare LEGO Series Kits

Collecting LEGO kits is a serious and exciting direction in which the game intertwines with the passion of gathering. Find out about a dozen of the rarest sets that have ever been mass-produced, and now enjoy the special attention of collectors.

As a result of LEGO's collaboration with DC Comics, the famous LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes lineup appeared, and later a separate The LEGO Batman Movie. In general, Batman sets are not too rare: they are produced in large editions and sold freely.

But in 2015, the Bat-Pod designer, an exact replica of the Christopher Nolan batzic, was released. This is an exclusive set, produced in the amount of only 750 copies, and it was impossible to just buy it in the store.

A beautiful sports SUV from the LEGO Technic lineup was not a truly rare set - its “circulation” was 20,000 copies, and although its production ended in 2013, it is not a problem to buy a kit today.

But LEGO decided for each of the 20,000 sets to make one unique detail - the license plate. That is, it is different for all SUVs, and in fact it’s 20,000 unique sets! So if you have such a set, you should know: it is the only one in the world, there is no other such one.

In 2007, LEGO released a limited edition of up to 10,000 copies of the C-3PO series of chrome-plated robots from Star Wars (respectively, in the LEGO Star Wars line-up).

But this story had a sequel. Five winners of the competition in honor of the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, held in the same year by LEGO Magazine magazine, received as the main prize a similar figure of pure gold weighing 14 carats! Golden C-3PO is the most expensive and rare figure in the history of the company.

A seemingly ordinary set depicting a Japanese robotic submarine appeared in 2010 in the usual number of 10,000 copies. The trick was that it was intended only for sale in Japan! There were not even boxes and instructions in other languages! Interestingly, this kit became the ancestor of an entire line developed by the Japanese division of LEGO Ideas.

This kit includes 5195 parts - this is the second-largest designer in the entire history of LEGO. Due to the abundance of parts and the end of the release in 2010 of complete LEGO Star Wars “Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon” complete sets, there is practically no existence, and only unprinted kits are appreciated among collectors.

LEGO Minifigures is a whole line that includes various figures to be filled by residents of LEGO-cities. Sets of mini-figures are actively being made now, and in 2013 the LEGO Minifigures Series 10 (71001) set was released.

In the standard set there were 16 figures, but 5,000 lucky ones bought an expanded version with an “undocumented” figure - Mr. Gold. It was included in honor of the 10th edition of the LEGO Minifigures line and was covered in brilliant gold plating. Included was a promotional code that allowed us to register Mr. Gold on the official website and receive a certificate of conformity from the company.

LEGO Creator "Taj Mahal" is the largest model in the entire history of the company, it consisted of 5922 parts and was produced from 2008 to 2011. LEGO Creator "Taj Mahal" is a stand-alone set that is not associated with any particular universe, plus it is more uniform in terms of assembly.

A set of 675 parts and 7 mini-figures was released in cooperation with Star Wars in 2003 and seemed at first completely ordinary. But the future has shown that this set has certain features. 4 of 7 mini-figures never repeated again - they are only in this particular set and nowhere else. LEGO Star Wars "Cloud City" was the first set, which included a black figure.

The kit, released in 2001 in conjunction with the Nesquik brand, was developed as part of the movie production line of LEGO Studios. The director, the cameraman, and the camera card already existed, and for this set an additional Neskvik rabbit figure was developed.

The set has never been in free sale - residents of Germany, Australia and New Zealand could get it using bar codes cut from Nesquik boxes and sent to the company's office.

“Classic Police” is one of the most popular episodes in the LEGO City line. The first police department appeared in the company's gamut as far back as 1972 — still without men. Over the following years, many stations, crews and police officers were released, but the first police station with the mini-figurines was most appreciated.
