This 2,912-piece set recreates the infamous pirate ship that holds One-Eyed Willie’s treasure.

Some of the iconic scenes you can recreate here include brick-built vignettes the Skeleton Organ, the discovery of Willy’s treasure room, and you can even give Sloth a slab of chocolate. Speaking of Sloth, he’s one of 12 minifigures you’ll get with this set. The full list includes:
- Mama Fratelli

Fans of ’80s cinema are spoiled for choice right now when it comes to Lego sets. One of the cool recent releases is the Gizmo set, an adorable recreation of the Mogwai from the Gremlins movies. A fully posable figure, Gizmo’s arms, hands, and fingers are articulated, he comes with a pair of 3D glasses, and he has an expressive face. You can even get him wet and not have to worry about all hell breaking loose.
Other Lego sets inspired by ’80s film and TV shows include several figures from Lego’s growing Transformers line, such as Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, the Decepticon Soundwave. Star Wars fans can pick up the gigantic $1,000 Lego Death Star from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, while Back to the Future fans will want to check out the DeLorean Time Machine. A new DeLorean kit will also arrive next year, although this is a smaller and cuter version of its Lego Ideas big brother.
