LEGO sent me most of the sets featured in this video, the others I bought myself.

Hey Tiago,
as the fan designer of the VIKING VILLAGE I am really proud that the set I had the huge honour to help to design, made it onto your list! Thank you so much! I am a big fan of your work!

Even if it didn’t win any of its categories, Tales of the Space Age is truly a wonderful set. 2023 was quite possibly the best year for LEGO ever.

As a huge fan of aviation, the Concorde was an absolute dream from concept, to building experience, to proudly displaying it. A day one purchase that I couldn't be happier with, and easily my personal favorite of the year, if not of all time

This was like watching the Academy Awards. I had my own favorites and didn’t necessarily agree with all the choices, but it was a beautiful show and I felt happy for all involved.

As a huge aviation nerd, the Concorde was pretty much the Lego model I've always hoped for. It was an absolute dream to build, and makes a brilliant display piece, even if it is a little on the big side.

Temple of the Golden Idol is definitely my favorite set of the year. Indiana Jones was the theme that got me into Lego as a child, so seeing its return with such with an 18+ set that included so many cool play features was such a treat

My personal favorite of the year was Himeji Castle. It's a beautiful set with a great building experience. My only nitpick is that it should have included more cherry blossoms.

Picked up rivendell based on your earlier review and you were spot on. Pricey, but well worth it. Really appreciate your honest and objective reviews!

[DanFallon]

Honerable mention IMO is the botanical gardens friends set. Great fun to build, especially with my daughter, excellent value and visually lovely. And from the amount of play its got since we built it, I'd say she enjoys it too!

[TheCrisses]

I was a casual Lego collector, mostly for the building experience. Then LOTR Rivendell came out. My budget never had a chance. The only thing that could be worse is if they put out a D&D line of products. Now I have all the Lego Elves sets, because there's so many amazing parts/molds, color combos, and so on. A lot of what is so beautiful in Rivendell wouldn't have happened if it weren't for the Elves sets.

Next year I would love to see a category for best disassembly experience - I like to disassemble my sets for storage to make room for others, but I keep them all in their own bags. Would love to see that experience mentioned in future episodes. ❤

100% agree on the Concorde. It was the most fun I've had building in year and it looks impressive on display.

[KindaBlorp]

I got the Viking Village set yesterday and i got about half way though and enjoying it a lot so far! I did notice that the price per brick was really good but didn’t realize it was that good. Definitely one of my top 5 sets I’ve built so far, especially for the price.

[monty]

My choice for best function would be Friends 41737 Beach Amusement Park. It looks great even without any functions, but they chose to include an amazing mechanism inside as well.

Concorde - my dad was a licensed aircraft engineer working on Concorde for British Airways for 30 years. I purchased the Lego model for him to build on my behalf to display. He loved the build, and the model is stunning.

Really love this channel. I got into a depression this year, and Lego helped me through it. Your videos were very helpful as a guide to figure out which sets were right for me. Thanks for the great content!

[rezusdanieltudorsLEGOchannel]

Great list! But you forgot to mention the Alphine lodge set! It s one of the best winter village set in recent years!

[MarcusTSMarcus]

My favourite set of the year is probably between Concorde and The Great Wave. With an honourable mention to Tales of the Space age. Though as the year isn’t quite over I do expect “Tiny Plants” to possibly become one of my favourites. I have order the Ornthocopter for next year already and can’t wait to see how the Art, Icons, and Botanical themes develop during the coming years.

[karrde]

Rivendell is profound. Its awe inspiring after bag 2 onwards. There's just one problem with it though, its too far advanced from normal lego, its not one grade better than every set in existence, its two grades better. Its almost that different that its like technic.. doesn't feel like the usual bricks and pieces. Also interesting that it could be the start of the new detail era.. insane detail with most of the set being 1x1 spares...

I'm a really big fan of the insect collection, glad to see it in the video, and I find niche and creepy a perfect description for it
