Lego remains one of the most well loved products amongst young children, utilising a classic design that has been tried and tested for decades while additionally incorporating elements from current popular culture. By a long way the most well-liked Lego line lately has been the line of Lego Star Wars toys and play sets, which has been so popular it has even produced the famous Nintendo video game releases.

The magnitude of the Star Wars movie universe means that there is an almost unlimited capacity for Lego models and play sets, with hundreds of distinctive vehicles, settings and characters to choose from. Many of the most popular Lego Star Wars models are based on spaceships such as the iconic X-Wing or Millenium Falcon. Many of these types have missile firing features, retractable landing gear and other complicated parts, so you can create your own dogfights between whatever vehicles you choose to do so with. Some Lego models also even feature motorized elements, such as the Walking AT-AT.

Every Star Wars movie and TV series is represented well in the Lego Star Wars line, including the original and prequel trilogies, and the more current Clone Wars TV versions. All of the most important characters are available in Lego form, either included with sets or around to buy individually. Some of these figures have become hugely collectable in their own right! They can be put within automobiles or employed in sets like Jabba's Palace or the Mos Eisley Cantina.

As with any toys involving small parts and detailed instructions, parental guidance is imperative for young children, both to ensure that they make their toys in the right manner as well as ensuring they don't harm themselves while doing so. As many of the Star wars Lego toys are so highly detailed, it may be a good idea to check out some reviews of each item before you buy, to make sure the toy is suitable for your particular home situation.

Collectors of Star wars memorabilia have also discovered the joys of Star wars Lego, meaning that some of the more elaborate sets, such as the Endor play set, could be quite difficult to track down at this time of year. Plus, the speculator's market has also seen a huge price rise come about with some of the rarer toys in the range, putting them out off reach of many seasonal family budgets. I would suggest that parents of Star wars loving children stick to the less expensive, rather more freely available toys. This by no means should mean they'll have less fun, but you'll have a thicker wallet!

Lego toys and play sets have long been a staple part of any child's toy box. What do YOU remember making with yours? To discover more about them, check out Star Wars Lego toy reviews online.
