20 Lego Sets That Every Kid Will Want This Year
:extract_cover():upscale()/2015/02/17/058/n/24155406/58ea9f99_edit_img_cover_file_15775818_1424205554_Lego-Pirates-Brick-Bounty.jpg)
Based on the 45 new Lego-branded releases announced at this year's Toy Fair, it's safe to say that children are more in love with the colorful building blocks than ever. Whether this phenomenon can be chalked up to the runaway success of last year's The Lego Movie or a general desire for tangible (read: non-iPad playthings) activities, I'm unsure . . . but one thing that's undoubtedly true is that kids adore Legos. Check out the best new Legos that you can snag for your little ones this year, but be warned that you'll probably want a set for yourself.
