One of our favorite stops at Toy Fair is always the Lego booth — the company consistently introduces creative brick sets that boggle our minds. From its licensed lines — like Star Wars, Marvel comics, and DC Comics — and its interpretations of some of our favorite Disney characters to its own properties like Lego City, Lego Friends, and Chima, we're always impressed with its new offerings. This year was no exception. Coming on the heels of the wildly popular Lego Movie, we knew it would have some exciting new sets on display — what we didn't expect was the "lego-fication" of two classics that both parents and kids will love.

Read on for a look at the 17 sets that kids will love!
