Legos are toys, but they are also the source of incredible creations. LEGO artists make use of small plastic bricks to create everything from robots to buildings. The company’s engineers also design new elements that allow builders to build more complex models. Erik Varszegi is a Master Builder at the Lego Group, Billund, Denmark. He created a new element for this year’s model, the curved slope. It allows Lego users to create more slanted designs while adhering to the strict color palette of the company. The slopes can also be used to create a more dynamic shape such as an angled staircase.

While certain Lego designs are the creations of professional designers, other designs are created by the renowned Lego Ideas set-design program. The Ideas line gives anyone the chance to create a set and then have it made, offering fame and 1 percent of sales to designers who can convince 10,000 other designers that their design is worthy of being be made into a production. It’s no surprise that most extravagant and stunning sets tend to gain the most attention — especially when they contain iconic scenes or characters from TV, movies or from real life.

Among the best Lego designs are two iconic space-themed models that include the NASA space shuttle Discovery and one of the Hubble Telescope. Each telescope comes with a plaque of display and the miniature Lego version of its creator. Other impressive models are the framed rainbow, steampunk dragon, and a replica of the Palace of Westminster.
