We built this one over a couple of days.  It was a fun build, especially combined with other Lego sets.

The Lego City sets really work well together, and this was so much fun to play with, along with the Police Prison Island and Boat Chase sets.  My child created a very complex and engaging story around a wrongfully imprisoned dock worker, it was an awesome way to spend a few hours.

Lord of the Rings

The currently available Lord of the Rings Lego sets.  Like most of the 18+ adult-focused sets, they are pricey, but if you love Lego, they are a ton of fun for the family to build together.

This is one of the most fun and beautiful sets. A 6,167-piece, highly detailed diorama of LOTR's iconic haven, renowned for its display quality and intricate build.
It's an 18+ set, but it is a great family build.

I'm keeping this here in case it is brought back, but for now, this set is discondinued.  If you find it on the shelf somehwere, pick it up!
This is the real nostalgia piece for me. I spent house with the the Lego knights as a little kid.  My child and I had a blast building this one and even more fun actually playing with it.  It was one of the few sets they kept coming back to.
