Video game LEGO sets are the best of two worlds, combining the creativity and tactile fun of putting together a LEGO set with the beloved characters of a favorite video game. And there are plenty of LEGO sets created in collaboration with video game companies. Fans of Animal Crossing, for instance, can play the latest game on the Nintendo Switch, then log off and continue to interact with their favorite in-game characters through one of the game's corresponding LEGO sets.

But if you've been waiting to get some video game LEGO sets, you might want to make the purchase sooner rather than later. No matter how popular LEGO sets are, they do eventually retire, and for some video game sets, the retirement date is approaching fast. Some video game LEGO sets will no longer be sold as of the end of this year, making them much more difficult (and expensive) to acquire. Fans considering taking the plunge into the world of video game LEGOs will want to act fast to get some of the most awesome, adorable, and just plain fun sets before they're gone.

Unless stated, all the sets below are scheduled to retire on December 31, 2025. It's also worth noting that this date is subject to change, and retirement dates occasionally get rescheduled.

10 Durrr Burger (#77070)

A Small Fortnite Kit With A Large Personality

The unmistakable Durrr Burger is a staple from Fortnite, and this small 193-piece LEGO set recreates it perfectly, down to the lolling tongue. The fast food chain mascot is ubiquitous in the battle royale game, even showing up as a skin featuring a large mascot head and a colorful uniform. The Durrr Burger set is one of the smaller LEGO sets retiring this year, but at $14.99, it's a great catch for any Fortnite fan.

The small set resembles a burger with a beef patty, tomato, and cheese between two buns. A pink tongue hangs out from under the top bun, and bulging googly eyes make the character appear to look in two different directions at once. An olive skewered on a toothpick tops the burger as the final touch on this gourmet fast food LEGO kit. As an added incentive, every set includes a LEGO Fortnite Operation Brite Starter Pack in-game.

9 The Turtle Beach House (#21254)

Minecraft Crafting And Rafting

A LEGO and Minecraft crossover makes perfect sense, since both the video game franchise and the toy are all about building and creating new worlds out of blocks. This particular kit features an adorable beach house shaped like a turtle, with plenty of little additions for Minecraft fans. The set costs $26.99 and contains 234 pieces, which include lanterns, a crafting table, a furnace, turtle eggs, and four adorable turtles—one big and three mini.

Besides a green and beige turtle house, which has a removable top for easy access, this kit also comes with a bamboo raft and a small slice of beach. Two mob figurines are also included: a Turtle Skin Warrior and a trident-wielding Drowned. This kit is one of the many Minecraft sets retiring this year, including the other animal-themed abodes, The Fox Lodge and The Frog House, so this may be the last chance you'll have to complete your animal-shaped Minecraft houses collection.

8 Tails' Adventure Boat (#76997)

Sonic And Tails Gotto Go Fast In The Water, Too

Hit the water in a daring escape or just a joyride with Tails' high-speed boat LEGO set. This larger retiring set includes 393 pieces and is priced at $54.99, and features an interactive sphere launcher to bring the video game into the real world. The kit can be formed into a yellow and white boat measuring 4 inches tall and 8.5 inches long, with Tails at the helm and Sonic paragliding behind.

A turtle (Tocky) riding atop a mechanical shark (Jawz) s the duo along for the ride. Also included in the kit is the iconic arch formation from the Sonic games, with three rings just waiting to be collected on top. Just line up the boat, press a lever, and launch the large orange sphere for an exciting interactive element. Win points (or collect the rings!) for getting the sphere through the arch.

7 K.K.'s Concert at the Plaza (#77052)

Own The Most Iconic Building In Animal Crossing: New Horizons

K.K. Slider is in town for a performance, most recognizable characters—K.K. Slider, Isabelle, and Audie—and locations—the island plaza's Resident Services and K.K.'s camper van (which has a removable top).

K.K. comes prepared with his guitar and a microphone stand, and after the concert, the characters can head to the adorable café for a sweet treat or a cuppa. In true Animal Crossing fashion, the island flag at the Resident Services building can be customized with the additional multi-color tiles included in the set.

6 Shadow the Hedgehog (#77000)

Create And Display Shadow From The Helmet Collection

While some LEGO sets are interactive and meant to be played with, others, like this Sonic the Hedgehog Shadow head, are intended to be displayed as a collectible. This $69.99, 720-piece LEGO set is marked as 18+ and is meant for adults to put together and display in pride of place, either with the other Helmet collection figures or on its own.

The kit is a striking recreation of Shadow's head that stands at over 8 inches tall and 7 by 8.5 wide and long, and features a determined expression and the character's iconic black and red markings and spikes. The head is displayed on a special stand that includes a nameplate, so the final product looks more like a museum artifact than a LEGO set. Hidden inside the head and the stand are several Easter eggs for Sonic franchise fans, including a green Chaos Emerald.

5 Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo (#72033)

Mario Kart's DK Races To The Finish Line

Now is the perfect time to snag this Donkey Kong Mario Kart LEGO set before it's gone, with a new game coming soon in both franchises. Celebrate the Nintendo Switch 2 release of Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bonanza with this $34.99, 387-piece LEGO kit that recreates the large ape and his vehicle of choice for the racing game.

The kit includes a large buildable Donkey Kong with his barrel-like kart of choice, the DK Jumbo. The set also comes with a target, and the DK Jumbo is equipped with a turtle shell launcher that can be used to shoot the projectiles at the target in a fun, interactive twist. Watch out for stray banana peels, though, as one of these iconic Mario Kart power-ups is also included in the set.

4 King Boo's Haunted Mansion (#71436)

Explore The Haunted Mario Mansion

Build a huge house full of fun Easter eggs and features with this 932-piece LEGO set from the Super Mario universe. The kit costs $74.99 and includes King Boo's mansion as well as buildable figurines of a scared small boo, yellow baby Yoshi, Dry Bones, and King Boo himself.

While there's plenty to do in the outside courtyard, like toppling the king from his seat atop an interactive table, the mansion also opens up to reveal a detailed interior where even more fun can be had. The mansion's interior includes a magical sofa that acts as an elevator and a bookcase that hides the special key you'll need to unlock a special treasure chest for a fun surprise. This set is intended to be played with in combination with the Mario, Luigi, and Peach figurine sets for a tabletop version of a scene from Luigi's Mansion.

3 Peely Bone (#77072)

The LEGO Version Of The Iconic Fortnite Skin (Pun Intended)

Ever wonder what goes on under Peely, the anthropomorphic banana in Fortnite? Apparently, the character's squishy exterior hides a skeletal structure. This can be clearly seen in the disturbingly realistic Peely Bone Fortnite skin, which was introduced to the game in 2019 and remains an iconic look that shows the character as half-banana, half-skeleton.

This 18+ LEGO collectible set, which is retiring at the end of the year, is an accurate recreation of the in-game skin. The set consists of 1414 pieces at $99.99 and has everything you need to create a highly detailed display piece recreating Peely Bone in the real world. The 14-inch-tall character is depicted holding a paint launcher and a Peely Pick Pickaxe (read: a banana on a stick), and wearing a Banana Bag back bling. Best of all, you can pose him thanks to movable arms and wrists, with that never-fading smile plastered on his face.

2 The Mighty Bowser (#71411)

The Massive, Fire-Breathing Mario Baddie

The Mighty Bowser is one of the most impressive Super Mario LEGO kits, and it's about to be gone from the LEGO store forever. The set is a hefty $269.99, which reflects the large number of pieces included, 2807. Despite its interactive elements, this set is marked as 18+ and is meant to be built and displayed as a cool conversation piece or a unique collectible showing your love for the franchise and character.

The set shows Bowser standing at 11.5 inches tall, between two torch-topped columns. Bowser is highly poseable, with arms, hands, legs, tail, and even eyes that can all be moved and positioned to recreate dynamic scenes from the Mario games. But the character hides an even more impressive feature: its mouth can open to shoot fireballs, just like its in-game version.

1 Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour (#77048)

Hop On A Boat To Explore A New Animal Crossing Island

Sail off to new lands aboard Kapp'n's ship in this Animal Crossing LEGO set that's retiring at the end of the year. The 233-piece, $29.99 set depicts the sandy beach section of an AC island, complete with a beach lounger, an umbrella, and two palm coconut trees. Of course, the set also comes with Kapp'n and his boat (serenading sea shanty not included) and a figurine of the popular villager, Marshal.

The kit also comes with a fishing pole, bamboo, and several marine critters to capture, including a fish and a hermit crab. It even has a tiny LEGO shovel and a rock that hides some coins under it, just like in the Nintendo game. This set is part of the larger Animal Crossing LEGO collection, which has many kits retiring at the end of the year. Although several new sets have been announced for the summer, fans may want to act fast to get all the existing Animal Crossing sets before they're gone.
