Lego has long appealed to builders of all ages. While it remains a much loved toy, it has also developed a strong following among collectors, with retired sets, licensed collaborations and large scale display models attracting enthusiastic bidders. 

Our Toys & Models sale featured a strong selection of Lego sets spanning architecture, film and pop culture, as well as some of the brand’s most ambitious display pieces. 

Icons of Architecture

Some of the most visually striking Lego sets are those inspired by the world’s great landmarks, translating famous architecture into carefully engineered brick form.

Leading the selection was Lot 3000 – Lego Creator Big Ben (10253), which made £130. This detailed recreation captures one of London’s most recognisable landmarks with impressive architectural accuracy, from the Gothic detailing of the tower to the distinctive clock faces. Another global icon appeared in Lot 3002 – Lego Eiffel Tower (10181), achieving £110. Produced at 1:300 scale, the model cleverly replicates the lattice structure of the Paris landmark through intricate brick construction. Early architecture themed sets such as this remain particularly popular with collectors.

From the ancient world came Lot 3004 – Lego Creator Colosseum (10276), which made £260. One of Lego’s most ambitious architectural builds, the model recreates the immense amphitheatre of Rome with layered arches and an elliptical footprint that mirrors the original monument. Its scale and detail make it a striking display piece for builders interested in classical architecture. Completing the group is Lot 3007 – Lego Creator Sydney Opera House (10234), achieving £120. The sweeping shell roofs of Jørn Utzon’s celebrated design are recreated through clever brick geometry, resulting in a model that is both instantly recognisable and technically impressive.

Giants of Entertainment in Brick

Lego’s collaborations with film, television and gaming franchises have produced some of its most sought after modern sets, bringing familiar worlds to life in miniature.

Among them was Lot 3006 – Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon (75105), which made £50. As one of the most recognisable spacecraft in cinema history, the Falcon remains a cornerstone of Lego’s Star Wars range, with its distinctive circular hull and detailed cockpit faithfully recreated in brick form. From science fiction television came Lot 3012 – Lego Doctor Who TARDIS (21304), achieving at £100. Part of the Lego Ideas series, the set features the iconic blue police box along with minifigures from the long running series, making it a favourite among both Lego collectors and Doctor Who fans.

Meanwhile Lot 3011 – Lego Nintendo Entertainment System (71374) celebrates gaming nostalgia. Selling for £85, the cleverly designed model recreates the original console and a vintage television, complete with a moving screen mechanism that brings a classic Mario level to life.

Engineering, Transport & Display Models

Lego has also produced some remarkably detailed transport and engineering models, combining playability with display quality. A standout example was Lot 3010 – Lego Maersk Line Triple-E Container Ship (10241), selling for £110. Based on one of the largest cargo ships ever built, the model reflects the scale and clean industrial lines of modern container vessels, making it an eye catching piece for maritime enthusiasts.

Naval history was represented in a more historic style by Lot 3008 – Lego Imperial Flagship (10210), achieving £280. With its billowing sails, rigging and multi deck structure, the model captures the drama of the great sailing ships that defined the age of exploration. Finally, Lot 3003 – Lego Shuttle Expedition (10231), selling for £100, looks skyward. Inspired by NASA’s shuttle programme, the set recreates the spacecraft and launch platform, celebrating one of the defining engineering achievements of modern space exploration.
These Lego highlights formed just part of a varied Toys & Models sale, which also included vintage toys, robotics kits and collectable models. Whether you are a lifelong Lego builder, a nostalgic collector or simply looking for a striking display piece, the catalogue offered plenty to explore.
