BrickList: The Best of 2010

The Best of 2010

In 2010 there were quite a few outstanding Lego sets. Lets take a look back down memory lane and recap them.

Created by The Beast. Last updated on 01 Jan 2011.

1. 3222: Helicopter and Limousine

This set showed that there is a little bit of luxury. It was one of the greatest sets of 2010 because Lego was yet to release anythin like it.

3. 4842: Hogwarts Castle

This set it has got to be one of the most elaborate sets ever. They really managed to cram every little possible detail into this set. So there should be no questions asked why this set is on this list.

4. 5984: Lunar Limo

5. 7570: The Ostrich Race

The only reason this set is on this list is because it was and has been the only ostrich ever made by Lego which left many people (not me *cry*) scrambling to grab one or two of these sets.

6. 7595: Army Men on Patrol

This set left a whole lot of posibilities. One could make from this set a Lego army or many other sets. This set left you wanting more. Unfortunately the rest of Toy Story didn't.

7. 7848: Toys R Us City Truck

This set is better than the regular truck because it provides a toy shop which is a new concept in Lego City. Also the little headquarters inside of the truck left almost everybody wanting more.

9. 8075: Neptune Carrier

The stingray thing along with the vehicles and characters made this set AMAZING. I like how compact it is. The sting ray thing is really nice and could potentially be used in a Lego City harbor.

10. 8077: Atlantis Exploration HQ

This set would be the basis of an outstanding Atlantis theme. It provides a living space for all of the divers so it makes all of Atlantis seem a little bit more realistic.

11. 8078: Portal of Atlantis

I would say that all of the Atlantian figures made this set one of the best of 2010. I also like the fact that you get all of the rings and how the blue portal actually spins and opens up. Nice Job Lego!

12. 8092: Luke's Landspeeder

This was a VERY SLOW YEAR FOR STAR WARS. I think that the only outstanding set was this one because it brings back the Classic Satr Wars instead of the not-as-nice Clone Wars sets.
