The summer movie season is upon us, providing a great excuse to sit in an air conditioned room and avoid that brutal summer sun. However, even the best summer movie only lasts a couple of hours, three tops.

When you’re looking for another excuse to stay indoors for a few hours, why not consider our list of the best LEGO sets for summer movies? You can stay inside the air conditioned comfort of your home while completing these LEGO sets, all while reliving the fun of the summer movie blockbuster you just saw. For instance, the Silent Mary (as seen above) from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

These LEGO sets work as collectibles that’ll appeal to fans of different super heroes and different movie subjects several years into the future. You also can have fun now putting them together, following the directions inside the box … or ignore the directions and follow your own creative and artistic aim.

We at Ben’s Bargains have put together a list of the best super hero movies coming up this summer, as well as some tips that’ll help you save money when you’re attending these great movies, including some deals on saving money at the movie box office!
