I found a good range of LEGO sets for a 10-year-old. Standouts are the Speed Champions F1 cars, which are compact and affordable, and the LEGO City Camper Van and Delivery Van for easy, playable builds. For a bigger project, the Batman Bat-Signal is a strong pick. What does he enjoy most: racing, vehicles, superheroes or something else?
