LEGO® Icons

Some builds are a way to switch off for a while; others appeal because you want a machine, vehicle or design you admire in front of you. Icons suits that way of enjoying LEGO: progressing step by step and finishing with something you want to show.

Canalla’s selection includes sets such as Leonardo da Vinci’s Flying Machine and the Vespa 125. They are projects with distinct identities. Start with the object that appeals to you and consider whether its design, mechanism or building process interests you most.

Leonardo da Vinci’s Flying Machine 10363 interprets an ornithopter design. LEGO presents it with wings operated by a visible mechanism, a stand and a Leonardo minifigure. It shows how a display model can also encourage you to observe how it works.

Those features apply to that specific set. For any other Icons model, check which movements and display elements it includes. Choosing for a particular function means checking the individual set as well as the range.

The age recommendation offers guidance, but your experience and willingness to spend time on the project also matter. If you have not built for years, start with a model that interests you and a size you can manage. You do not need the highest piece count to enjoy the process.

Think about your work surface, the sessions you want to spend on it and where you will keep the build in progress. A manageable set and an appealing theme may be a better personal choice than a large project you currently have no room for.

Check the finished model’s height, width and depth. Allow room to move it, operate mechanisms or clean the shelf. A stand contributes to the set’s actual footprint and can matter as much as the piece it supports.

If buying for someone else, confirm the theme they like and where they will put it. For a car fan, also compare Technic vehicles. For someone who prefers a particular series, explore Star Wars or Super Mario display models.
