Lego The Globe

Lego has a whole division leveraging the building toy as an educational tool through robots and complex machines, but if you flunked geography, give this globe a spin and you might actually learn something. Built from 2,585 pieces, this $230 model is one you can proudly display in your office at work without getting questionable looks. It’s also a masterclass in advanced Lego building techniques. Like drawing circles on an Etch A Sketch, we assumed building a sphere from blocky Lego bricks was impossible, but this set proved us wrong.
