Living Large


castleThis may look like a long distance shot of a restored castle from back in the day, or a picture from a high school history book, but it’s not. Actually, this is a close up picture of a castle made entirely of Legos. Believe it or not, but there is this one and an entire city to go along with it. A good friend of ours discovered this during a trip to Germany. I’m not quite sure of the details as far as location, who created it or why, but I do believe this is worth a nice chunk of change. Within the city, there is a Lego Colosseum, an airport, a soccer (football) field, and more. Whoever it is that had this idea probably ended up banking from this now that it is a standing structure and thousands of people view it every day. I know the next time I’m in Germany, I’ll be sure to stop and check it out. Being the fact that this is IncTrade, its important to mention the business side of things in this. If you think about the investment, it couldn’t be more than a few hundred dollars to buy enough legos for a city (probably 200,000 pieces?). Having the skill is another thing, but had you created one, the return on the investment could be phenomenal to display it at arts and craft shows. Just a thought. Anyhow, below are some pictures, some in more detail, of the logo city.

airport

Lego airport terminal, yes the inside of the plane has detail too.

The entire city

The entire city, very intricate.

Lego Venice City

A Venice like city, the water is real.

The Lego Colosseum

Yes, all of those are actually lego people. It is supposed to be somewhat of a lego Colosseum.

After looking around a little bit, I found a very interesting link to this stuff. Apparently it is a big deal and people do this as a hobby… and some as a profession. Here’s a link to some other lego cities if you’re interested. Enjoy.
