The best Lego Creator Expert sets to buy in 2024

Lego Creator Expert is known for its detailed recreations of iconic vehicles, and the Lego Ford Mustang is one of the best-loved. With this set, you can rebuild the car in miniature from the chassis up with surprising accuracy. The build strikes a balance between challenging and relaxing, with minimal repetition keeping the experience interesting.

There are no Minifigures here, and the Lego Mustang doesn’t have much functionality for play. You’ll also need to search around to find a box if you want to own the retired set. That rules out a lot of the Lego fanbase, but for those of you left behind, the Ford Mustang Lego set offers a lot to love.

When it comes to modular Lego buildings, the Lego Parisian Restaurant wears the crown. Every inch of the build is packed with stunning detail, from the fully-stocked kitchen to the homey apartment above the restaurant.

Interactive features and easily accessible floors make the set ideal for play, but it works just as well as a display piece. This slice of France is beautiful from every angle.

The one downside here is that Lego has retired this particular Creator Expert set. You can still find boxes for sale in places, but you should expect to pay a premium price for such a prestigious building.

Lego Old Trafford – Manchester United is a must-have for lovers of Soccer (or as we Brits call it, Football). Like many other Creator Expert sets, this one is retired and harder to get hold of, but the value for money here makes it worth the hunt.

The sprawling set is modular to help make the challenging build more accessible. Tiny details bring the stadium to life, from the pitch to individual statues around the outside. Lego had to sacrifice a lot of accuracy when recreating Old Trafford on such a small scale, but the overall product remains a beautiful rendition.

More complex sets often come with a higher price tag, so it’s unsurprising that a line of Lego sets aimed at adults can cost a pretty penny. The fact most Lego Creator Expert sets are retired also makes them a steep investment. If you’re after a build that’s (slightly) kinder on your wallet, we recommend the Lego Fiat 500.

It’s not the most popular Creator Expert car, and that’s mainly down to some awkward design issues. The mish-mash of curved and sharp angles leave gaps in parts of the car, and many builders report inconsistent coloring on the bricks. Despite this, the set is an authentic recreation of the classic vehicle, complete with plenty of rewarding details.
