Legos are the greatest toy of all-time, as delightful and intriguing for adults as they are for children of all ages.

With so much awesomeness, it's hard to separate the studs from the duds. That's why we've constructed this list of the top 25 Lego sets that are available today.

The 16-inch by 16-inch battle station has a laser that shoots missiles across the room. It also comes with 23 different minifigs, including Darth Vader, the Emperor and the trash compactor monster.

Lego Architecture New York City Skyline 21208

Lego's architecture line lets you build great structures from around the world and put them in your living room.

Lego Boost Creative Toolbox

A great way for young kids to learn about coding, Lego Boost gives you the pieces to build one of five different robots and program them using the associated Android or iOS app.

The software is extremely, fun and intuitive as it shows children how to code using a simple block-based language that's entirely marked with icons rather than words. My five year old who can't read yet was writing his own programs within a few minutes. Also, at $159, Boost is an incredible value compared to robot kits that cost twice as much and are half as fun.
