06/05/2008 In Toys by argikon

Yes, yes… I know… I’m fascinated by Lego. Especially this 100 foot Lego tower that set a world record in the UK yesterday. It involved thousands of children putting it together in 20cm sections over 4 days, 500,000 pieces, and a crane to hoist it all in place. The occasion was to mark the 50th anniversary of the ubiquitous toy company. It beat the previous record of just over 96ft which was set in my hometown of Toronto in August 2007… (and no I wasn’t at the Toronto event)
