These Movie Lego Sets for Adults Are Infinitely Cooler Than Posters

We want to say this one is a snap to put together, but we don't want to erase half the population and all. At under 600 pieces, this is a great beginner set.

Based on the infamous scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark, this set looks just like the Temple of the Golden Idol. You can even display it to look like Indy is running away from the giant boulder, or turn the knobs on the plinth to light it up.

The newest set on this list is this distinctive Star Wars logo that's a must-have for fans of the galaxy far, far away. There's even an Easter-egg surprise tucked inside the T.

This one is often sold out, but that's just because it's so cool. Get it while you can. The scale model of the DeLorean comes with attachments so you can customize it to look like the time machine from any of the movies.

The third Lord of the Rings Lego set features Bilbo's Hobbit hole decked out for his 111th birthday. It comes with nine minifigs to bring Bag End to life. If you're looking to make more of Middle-earth, there are also the Rivendell and Barad-dûr sets.

This Lego Bumblebee is more than meets the eye. He can be built in his standing Autobot mode, but he also folds down into his signature Volkswagen Beetle form.

Da-dum, da-dum... This 1975 movie still is a fan fave. This model features a scale replica of the Orca vessel, plus our favorite part: a placard that displays the movie's most famous line, "You're gonna need a bigger boat."

Full disclosure: We're including this set not only because the Ornithopter is cool (which it is) but mostly because of the minifig of Baron Harkonnen. The long robes and clear stand make him look like he's levitating. Plus, the Ornithopter has wings that fold in and out, depending on how much display room you have.

Get ready to channel your inner Kevin and take on the Wet Bandits. This two-story house is packed with all the hijinks that make the movie a holiday fave. The swinging paint cans and collapsing bookshelves are a few of the moving features. Oh, and the furnace lights up.

This is the droid you're looking for. Though it's under $100, this R2-D2 has interactive elements, like a head that fully rotates. There's also an R2 minifig, along with a Darth Malak and a plaque that commemorates the 25th anniversary of Lego Star Wars.

There are a lot of Harry Potter sets out there, but there's really nothing more distinctive than the Hogwarts Castle and grounds. This one features all the main Hogwarts elements—even the boathouse, the Black Lake, and the Whomping Willow.
