In a world dominated by screens, the throwback, nostalgic nature of Legos, which are designed to be assembled with printed instructions — independent of a digital device — is refreshing.

Like reading a good printed book, Legos don’t need a power source, yet they provide many benefits. They challenge you to think and are arguably healthier for your brain compared to something like scrolling on Instagram or TikTok.

Uniting Star Wars with Legos allows the two mega-brands to combine their powers, and the result is an adult (rated 18+) toy that you have to build (each one takes approximately 2-4 hours), and at the end, you have something that’s a displayable keepsake.

Not to mention, depending on the condition and specific model, some Lego sets are highly collectible. All the Star Wars Lego Helmets shown are retired (Scout Trooper, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Stormtrooper), and retired sets tend to command premiums above the original retail prices, especially for good condition, unopened boxes of the most coveted references.

Collecting aside, Legos are fun to build, even as an adult. Perhaps, even more so as an adult.

Building them can be frustrating, yet it adds to the enjoyment. Legos are nowhere near as intensive and cumbersome to assemble as mechanical watches, which are also fun to build, though quite challenging. For the reasons listed above, Legos (of all types), especially Star Wars helmets, might be a fun diversion for the mechanical types who collect watches and read Professional Watches.
