I was really worried when I saw the Hulkbuster on the thumbnail, but yeah, your choices are pretty spot on!

I got super into Lego during the pandemic being mostly stuck at home with a lot of free time. I discovered this channel quite quickly and Tiago has helped me out with nearly every purchase I've made so far. This was a great video with worthy winners and I look forward to what next year has in store for Lego and this channel. Thank you, Tiago!

For me it has to be either the orchid or The Starry Night. Both make for absolutely gorgeous display pieces, and while I’ve taken down a lot of my sets to make room for new ones, both the orchid and The Starry Night have stayed up since I got them, both shortly after release. My best budget set, though, has to be the Halloween cat and mouse. All the budget holiday display sets from this year were adorable, but that kitty is just about perfect in its design. I say that with full bias, since I’m the proud owner of one amazing black kitty cat. As for play value, the majestic tiger is superb for the price. It’s very pose-able, and for much of the year I had it prowling around my orchid, ready to pounce on the little bird that comes with it.

Was so excited for this video Tiago I started getting into Lego this year and I’ve really enjoyed your videos it has helped me massively when it comes to decision making and increasing my knowledge and for that I thank you.

Looking forward to more epic videos in 2023

Great video! I’d like to see a “Worst of 2022” as well based on the same categories

[rainbowchap]

Has anyone ever mentioned how fantastic your camera work. Its so fluid and I've never noticed it

[Harvey_Muster]

I already love the decisions from the first 5 seconds

[Carboxylated]

The Galaxy Explorer was my pick. But I am sure if I built the Lion Knights Castle that would take the cake. But yes out of all the crazy sets I have built this year for 2021-2022 sets, the Galaxy Explorer took it for me. I really do love the Lighthouse and it comes up in a close second for me. Great video Tiago!

I'm personally a little sad to see Jazz Quartet not get a nomination for display value - truly a unique set!

[DMacB]

“Let’s do this again next near, shall we?” Yes please, this one was great! But also all your other videos, without which this one wouldn’t carry as much weight. I’m just going to keep watching each one, it’s much easier than watching or playing every Oscar/Game Awards nominee

I really hope I can get the Lion Knights castle before it retires. I don't have any nostalgia for the theme either, but it seems like an incredible build, display piece and playset. I honestly wish more if the adult oriented stuff were more than just display pieces, I feel like I'd actually take them off the shelf to engage with them that way.

Late to the show, but had to chime in, the Lions Knight Castle is my first LEGO purchase in over 25 years. NONE of the others would have even come close to getting me to do that. (though the galaxy explorer was close, I just feel like I can't go into that many different genres) They really elevated the old theme, while keeping the classic theme but modern updates, and evolving it into more city drama than just military. In terms of Scale, beauty, fun for all ages and sexes, diversity in action and city life adventure, universal theme appeal, etc... all adds up to the best offering LEGO has ever created. The only down side is there is not much else to go with it, and if it takes 10 years to get a decent line of complimentary sets then some may lose interest. Being new to the LEGO market I must say I was not pleased how they did the forest hideout and this GWP enticement on such top of the line sets. They need to go full sail and release a line of products quickly to revive this theme!

Mine was the Galaxy Explorer. I have the Lion Knight's Castle as well, but I just love the nostalgic feel from the Explorer. Something about seeing the iconic space figures in 2022 puts a smile on my face.

For me the best Lego set of the year is definitely the Galaxy Explorer so I’m glad you picked it for best value! While I didn’t grow up with Classic Space as I was only born in 2000 I did grow up with other space themes like Galaxy Squad & Space Police III. The building experience is definitely the best I’ve seen from the few other sets I got this year with the Fast & Furious Dodge Charger being a close 2nd. Plus, it also has 2 other alternate models for a 2 man & 1 man spaceship as well which essentially makes it a Creator 3 in 1 set. Also, it’s only $100 which is a lot more affordable than other 18+ sets like Bowser & The $400 Castle so a lot more people can get it without having to spend a lot of money just for an Adult set. I got mine for 25% off at Walmart though which makes it an even better value than it already was! Definitely the highlight of my 1st year getting back into LEGO & I highly recommend this set to anyone who likes Space.

Hi Tiago, awesome video! Justice for Bowser though 😂😂😂 I think he’s the best set of the year from the piece usage, functionality, and display value.

[timgoodwin]

YES! My wife got me the Lion Knight's Castle for Christmas and I'm so excited to put it to together!

[csvvv]

I have and played with the original castle and I must say it's the set that I liked the most. If I had seen this castle when I was a kid, I'd be crazy over it. It really has everything you could imagine on a really cool medieval lego set.

[jardex]

The other big detail about the Lion Knights Castle is that it's a big source of medieval themed bricks and minifigs for your custom builds. It's harder to find good castle parts since Harry Potter makes up most of the fantasy themed sets.

Personally, I just placed an order for a few sets online. My sister said that she's never really put together a Lego set herself before, so I got the Hogwarts trunk (she's a Hufflepuff), the mini Disney Castle, and the Succulents botanical build. I'll probably split those sets between Christmas and her Birthday. She's also a fan of the paint by number apps on her phone, so I might get her a mosaic set at some point as well.

[damndaniel]

honestly the trex set was the coolest one among all of them for me

[thehydrationman]

Lion Knights castle is probably one of the greatest sets of all time, but for the award I think Bowser is a close second.
