    Hi,
    Can anybody recommend any good sets of Lego for an adult? Looking for something which is a little complicated.
    Thanks.

    There's actually a Lego forum. It's not massively active, but there have been posts there over the past few days and I'm sure there's somebody there would be able to point you in the right direction.

    Are they a Star Wars fan? One of the lads in work got a Death Star, but with 4,000 pieces, it's pricey! Around the $500 mark.

    Hi Freshpopcorn, there's a Lego forum, used it myself earlier on in the lockdown for info. Some serious Legoers with good advice.
    Technics is one of many ranges Lego do, my favourite as it involves piecing together cogs and pulleys etc. I ended up making the Claas Xerion 5000(model number 42054)burnt the candle oil it was so engrossing.
    Depends on what you're looking for, I'm an extreme novice but the amount of lego kits out there is phenomenal. Bricklink.com is the goto site, but if its a Christmas present I'd rule that out tbh.

    Technic. Can never go wrong with Technic. Huge variety in terms of price as well to whatever fits your budget.

    My son has the White House - it looks really well when built.

    I would go for the LEGO Loop Coaster or Motorised Lighthouse, both great fun.
