Here’s an interesting discovery for Stargate fans and toy collectors: the Web site for Sears Canada is now selling Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis Best-Lock construction blocks (compatible with LEGO).
Available sets include:
- Stargate SG-1 Earth, with 900 pieces for an F-302, death glider, a small pyramid, obelisk, sphinx, and several soldiers (including the SG-1 team?). It’s not clear from the description, but the photo also includes a Stargate (with stairs) and three Jaffa Serpent Guards. This picture may be combining the Earth set with the separate Jaffa Versus SG-1 set.
- Stargate SG-1 Death Glider Attack, with 250 pieces for a death glider, a small tower, and an Anubis statue, plus a couple of soldier figures.
- Stargate Atlantis BC-304 Daedalus, with over 230 pieces to build the Daedalus battle-cruiser.
From the packaging the sets appear to be officially licensed by MGM. The larger “Earth” set retails at $39.99 (Canadian), with the smaller Daedalus and Death Glider sets going for $19.99.
The Best-Lock collection also includes a 900-piece Terminator set, as well as various generic military, police, and coast guard sets.
The sets are recommended for kids (and grown-ups!) ages 5 and up.
So far they’ve only turned up in Canada, and only online. If anyone spots these in a store or outside Canada, let us know!

Cool!
I hope they come with ickle SG-1 personel!
God, I miss Stargate so much.. So regrettable that SGU was cancelled. Ever since SGU Season 2 was done, I have been doing re-watches continually of all three shows to prevent withdrawal, but ah.. It can only ease the suffering for so long, eventually the cravings will be too much!
I’ve wanted Lego to do Stargte for so long, if only Lego did these
Dam i really want these any chance of them being released in the UK Guys please let me know if anyone hears any news Many thanks
Seems pretty affordable compared to, say, LEGO Star Wars sets of similar complexity.
I have posted a question on the Sears website for the SG-1 Earth set asking if it comes with SG-1 Personnel. I will advise on receiving an answer.
I don’t believe it, Stargate LEGO! (Or equivalent.) How incredibly cool is that?! I wonder if it will ever arrive across here in the UK and the rest of Europe?
Nice! I think I will get these if they ship to UK
Aw, How come no Prometheus?
I got a email from “Best-lock” they said they will also be sold at “Family Dollar” stores in the US starting in September
they might be in other stores other than Family dollar in the US also.. quote from Best-lock “We have also sold these sets to our US Distributor so they will also be selling these sets to their customer base so keep a check on any other toys stores to see if they start to pop up soon.”
I really hope i can sn get these shipped from the us or Canada to the uk or i just hope they reaslise them here
Awe, the 304 looked better in the Sears picture. Now I’m feeling a little less likely to buy it. I was excited about that one, too…
Here is the response from Sears, The BEST-LOCK™ Stargate SG-1™- Earth 900-Piece Building Set, offered on this page, only has generic figures in it. The BEST-LOCK™ Stargate SG-1 – Jaffa Versus SG-1 Construction Set, found at the following product link, has the full team members of SG-1.
The stargate best lock sets are starting to appear on ebay:
