A long time ago in a toy factory far, far away, some bright spark thought it would be a good idea to save a failing brand by sealing commercial tie-ups with well-known movie franchises.

LEGO's tie-up with Lucasfilm is probably the most famous and recognizable result of this decision, a concept that mashes together the idea of Star Wars toys with the LEGO Space brand of the 1980s and 1990s.

It's a range so big, it can be challenging to know where to begin, but we're here to help. These are the best LEGO Star Wars toys available right now.

One of several Star Wars figure kits, this Darth Vader build features an arm-swinging function and the famous red lightsaber. Standing at over 12 inches (32 cm) tall, this figure is constructed from 168 pieces of LEGO.

Other than that, it's a great option that no Star Wars fan should be without. Other builds in this series include Boba Fett, General Grievous, and Chewbacca.

FAQ

Q: Why Are LEGO Star Wars Sets So Expensive?

If you're a parent looking to buy a LEGO Star Wars set for your children, or even for yourself, you may notice that the products seem quite expensive. This is especially true when comparing historical prices.

Generally, materials have become more expensive. As a result, LEGO sets have become more costly over time. Star Wars sets are among the most expensive in the range.

As a well-known movie franchise owned by one of the world's largest media companies (Disney), Lucasfilm charges other businesses to use its copyrighted materials, branding, and characters, adding to each set's cost.

Q: Is LEGO a Good Investment?

Some LEGO collectors can make a living by trading valuable or otherwise collectible sets of LEGO. However, given the popularity of these toys worldwide, this is a challenging area to break into. In most cases, LEGO sets should be viewed as toys and creative tools rather than financial investments.

Q: Are LEGO Bricks Toxic?

In most cases, the materials within LEGO bricks do not pose a danger to your health and are not toxic. Before modern standards were applied, some bricks produced in the 1970s and 1980s may contain traces of hazardous materials.

However, this is only a concern if you are buying vintage sets second-hand. In that instance, you're more likely looking for a collectible set rather than for a child.
