I'm obsessed with Lego, and if you're buying something for a dad who's equally passionate, you've come to the right place.

There's perhaps no toy - and an analog one, at that - as fun and rewarding as Lego. The bigger the set, the more complicated it is to build. But like a good Netflix series, Lego fans will binge in completing a build. Once it's all done, it's something proud to display.

I'm far from an expert Lego builder, but it's the one thing that I still "play" with as a adult, and I'm pretty savvy at it. My first super-complex set was the Star Wars Imperial Shuttle, which was the reason for many late nights. Lego then sent me what was the biggest Technic set at the time, the Bucket Wheel Excavator, and challenged me to build it, which took me a few weeks to complete the nearly 4,000-piece set. Whether it's one of these elaborate sets or something simpler, it's a de-stressing pastime that's highly rewarding. If your dad's like me, he'd say the same thing.

Whether your dad prefers the more advanced Technic or Creator series or enjoys the more whimsical mini figures of City, here are 19 great options that will please any Lego-loving dad.
