These collaboration sets are treasures to be cherished.

Here’s a list of the best of the lot: 

Lego X BTS

This latest collaboration had fans swooning when the LEGO collaborated with the South Korean band on a BTS Dynamite set in 2023.

The blocks replicate the group’s music video for the Grammy-nominated track, “Dynamite,” to feature miniature figures of the seven members positioned on a dynamic stage. Recommended for adults, the 749-piece set also includes a doughnut shop, a record store, an ice cream shop, and a basketball court.

The collaboration has its own BYGGLEK Lego brick set available exclusively at IKEA stores.
