Is there any better all ages gift than a LEGO set? It's doubtful, because at this point, nearly every adult remembers LEGO sets fondly, while children are naturally drawn to them. Here's a fun fact, LEGO might have gone the way of the Tinker Toy had it not been for its first licensing deal back in 1999 with a little cinematic universe known as Star Wars. Now LEGO is huge business, and everyone who has a product to license wants a LEGO set with its likeness. It's why they're the perfect gift: you can satisfy a Star Wars fan, a Batman fan, a LEGO fan, or even a fan of architecture.
There's no shortage of superhero sets to choose from. If you know someone who's a fan of DC or Marvel, LEGO's got your back. The Superhero Airport Battle comes with 6 Marvel mini-figures, an air traffic control tower and the Avengers' Quinjet. But, even better, it comes with a buildable Giant Man figure that's the size of all the other minifigs combined. Recreate one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most iconic Civil War scenes, or just mash them up for your own alternate storyline. It's certainly the best Marvel LEGO set this year, and that tiny little Ant Man microfigure is like icing on the cake.

And while you're recreating scenes from Captain America: Civil War, you're going to want to put together the Marvel Tanker Truck Takedown. You get Spider-man and Vision mini-figures, as well as Hawkeye and Captain America. But this isn't your ordinary neighborhood Spider-man: it's a new figure all together, based on Spidey's latest appearance in Civil War. Grab this one quick before the scalpers take away all that is right and good!

On the DC side of things, the awesome Killer Croc Sewer Smash building kit comes with a great selection of DC character-based minifigures. The set includes Batman, Red Hood, Captain Boomerang and Katana, and it also includes a Killer Croc big figure, for extra awesome sauce on top. Bat-Tank, Killer Croc's Chomper, and Red Hood's motorcycle round out this great DC set.

There are a ton of cool LEGO superhero sets to fit anyone's gift-giving needs. Here's a stellar selection of super suggestions:
Batman: Scarecrow Harvest of Fear
Star Wars is easily the most popular license LEGO has, and the classic sets can go for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on the shady grey market. And it's not hard to see why collectors go crazy for the sets: they're all really awesome, detailed, and most importantly, Star Wars. What's not to love?
Rogue One hasn't come out yet, but the toys based on it have already started to appear. Krennic's Imperial Shuttle is easily the most grand of all the sets based on the upcoming Star Wars story. This huge set has 863 pieces and comes with 6 mini figures, including the villainous Director Kennic himself. Maybe even cooler, it has spring-loaded missile launchers, the dream toy feature of children everywhere.

The 10-inch Imperial Death trooper is a buildable action figure with crazy detailed weaponry and a cool cowl that wraps around its shoulder to make it look extra sleek and evil. Just like Krennic's Shuttle, the Death Trooper's blaster is spring loaded so it can fire bright red missiles, which makes it just the most fun.

Minecraft is a game in which you build enormous structures from cubes of material, limited only by time and imagination. LEGO building sets are basically the same, but obtaining the building blocks doesn't involve virtual tree punching. The combination of the two is one of the most logical pairings since peanut butter met jelly in ancient Mesopotamia.
The LEGO Minecraft Fortress Building Kit is an enormous set with multiple figures and stays close to the philosophy of both Minecraft and LEGO bricks. The fortress can be set up in any number of different configurations, making it true to the building spirit behind it. Plus it has 3 skeletons AND a horse! Giddy up.

If you know someone who faces the very real struggle of a lack of LEGO storage, consider this four-post LEGO storage brick. It looks like a huge LEGO brick, one only a mythical giant or perhaps Shaquille O'Neal could step on. And you can even stack it on other, similarly-sized containers. But it's more than a cool looking conversation piece: actual, regular-sized LEGO bricks and pieces fit inside. It all makes perfect sense once you stop to think about it for a second. Need even more LEGO storage? Fear not, here's an eight-post version with twice the space for just a few bucks more.
