Frequently asked questions
What exactly are LEGO Avatar playsets?
Which Avatar movies do these sets focus on?
What kind of cool things can I build with them?
Pretty much everything you love from the movies! You can build:
- Majestic Creatures: Like the soaring Ikran (Banshees), the powerful Toruk Makto, the graceful Ilu, and even the colossal Tulkun.
- Awesome Vehicles: From the RDA’s deadly Crabsuit and Seawasp submarine to the Samson helicopter.
- Iconic Locations: Recreate parts of the majestic Hometree, the Metkayina Reef Home, or the beautiful Floating Mountains.
- Action Scenes: Build dynamic displays of battles and adventures.
Do these sets come with minifigures? Who are they?
Absolutely! And they’re pretty unique. You get both human and Na’vi minifigures. The Na’vi minifigures are taller than standard LEGO minifigures, perfectly capturing their distinct height from the movies. You’ll find characters like:
- Jake Sully
- Neytiri
- Kiri
- Lo’ak
- Tsireya
- Tuk
- Neteyam
- Colonel Miles Quaritch (in both human and Na’vi Avatar forms!)
- Spider
Are LEGO Avatar sets good for kids? What's the recommended age range?
Yes, they’re fantastic for kids! Most sets are recommended for ages 9+ or 10+, making them suitable for older children who enjoy a bit more challenge in their building and love imaginative role-play. They’re great for recreating movie scenes or inventing new Pandora adventures.
What about adults? Are they good for collectors or display?
Definitely! Many adults are huge fans of the Avatar movies and LEGO, so these sets hit a sweet spot. They feature intricate details, stunning creature builds, and make incredible display pieces that capture the beauty and action of Pandora. The larger sets, especially, are designed to be impressive showcase models.
What makes LEGO Avatar sets unique or special compared to other LEGO themes?
Several things!
- Taller Na’vi Minifigures: They really stand out!
- Incredible Creature Builds: The animal designs are some of the most innovative and poseable LEGO has created.
- Vibrant Colors & Ecosystems: The sets capture Pandora’s bioluminescent beauty, with some even having glow-in-the-dark elements.
- “Connectable” Worlds: Some sets are designed to be connected to build a larger, more immersive Pandora landscape.
- Flight Stands: Many flying creatures come with clear stands, making them look like they’re soaring!
If I'm new to LEGO Avatar, which set should I start with?
For a great introduction, The Floating Mountains: Site 26 & RDA Samson (from the first movie) or Metkayina Reef Home (from The Way of Water) are excellent choices. They offer a good mix of characters, creatures, and environment-building. If you want something truly epic, Toruk Makto & Tree of Souls is a showstopper!
