Kids love Lego and it is one of the most popular presents to give a child at Christmas, this year is no exception. There have been a heap of great sets out this year so we take the guess work out of deciding which set to give, whether your child is a long-time Lego fan or is new to the toys.

Best Lego City Sets

Like most years there have been some great Lego City sets released in 2010. Fan favourites include the new Power Functions train sets, the new Airport (3182) and the Fan's Choice for 2010, the Public Transportation set (8404). Not surprisingly all three deal with vehicles which are always popular with both kids and adult Lego fans.

Smaller sets that drew alot of attention within the City theme include the City Delivery Truck (3221), Helicopter and Limousine (3222) and the Pig Farm and Tractor (7684) set.

Best Star Wars Lego Sets

Always popular with fans, the Star Wars theme had a number of highlights this year. The most notable of which was the latest release of Boba Fett's Slave 1 (8097) and the new AT-AT (8219). It is safe to say however that one of the most popular Star Wars Lego sets for 2010 is yet to be released, with the Ultimate Collector Series Imperial Shuttle (10212) on target for a November release.

Lego Castle Sets

The Lego Castle theme was renamed "Kingdoms" this year and came with a new look. Highlights with fans included the new King's Castle (7946) and Outpost Attack (7948) in the larger sized sets while smaller hits were Knight's Showdown (7950) and Prison Carriage Rescue (7949).

Harry Potter Lego Sets

No list of the best Lego releases for the year would be complete without mentioning the upcoming Harry Potter Lego releases, due out in November to coincide with the release of the penultimate Harry Potter movie. There will be some very popular sets in this theme and will be worth checking out if you know anyone who is a fan.

With news of new 2011 sets being slowly released we can be assured that Lego is here to stay and will bring smiles to many faces come Christmas morning.
