10 Best Lego Kits For Serious Fans

How about this for an amazing fact: there are 75 Lego bricks for every human being on the planet. That makes over half a TRILLION bricks around the world!

That fact alone is testimony to the huge popularity of those little coloured plastic bricks that have been around since the early 1930s.

This is a modelling system that people of all ages and genders love and have loved for years.

In the UK alone there are over a quarter of a million so called AFOLs (Adult Fans Of Lego) so we at MyUKMailbox thought we would feature some of the most popular kits to build for all tastes and interests.
