Hey friends, this time I’ve scouted out the top-rated Space Sets and Toys from LEGO in 2024. It seems LEGO believes this theme will resonate well with kids, with most sets targeting around 10-year-olds. As for options for adults, I only found five.

However, I believe there’s a sizable adult audience, like our Facebook group member Matthieu Cox, who loves Space Sets. So, I highly recommend checking out the Space Series from JMBricklayer. Compared to LEGO sets, the price is relatively affordable, and these sets are mainly geared toward youths aged 14 and up, making them great for older collectors too. If you’re eager to dive into JMBricklayer’s Space series right away, head to the bottom of the article for a sneak peek!
