Musical Instruments
Harpsichord: This creation of a working harpsichord is simply amazing. It took approximately 100,000 Lego pieces to complete the instrument, and it stands 6-feet tall with the lid opened. The harpsichord is made entirely of Legos, except for the strings. Just listen to the music (MP3)that this thing plays.
Les Paul Guitar: This Lego version of a black Les Paul electric guitar would make the guitar god’s proud. This thing will even play a tune! How legible that tune may be though is the topic of debate.
Games & Electronics
Pinball Machine: What do you get when you combine a classic gaming machine with a classic children’s toy? You get a pinball machine made almost entirely of Lego, of course. This pinball machine is fully-functional and is coin-operated. It uses a glass ball instead of a steel one, because the steel pinballs are too heavy for the Legos to withstand the constant pounding of the ball that makes the game of pinball so much fun.
Guitar Hero: This isn’t your average Guitar Hero Ax. This is a fully-functioning Guitar Hero guitar made exclusively out of Lego bricks – except for the electronics. As if Guitar Hero wasn’t hard enough, try playing the game with a Lego guitar – that’ll add a bit of challenge I’m sure!
Computer: Here’s a fully-functioning computer with a 933MHz processor, a DVD drive, wireless network adapter and just about any input/output you can think of. The entire case is made out of Lego bricks. A lot of work went into completing this Lego computer, and any fan of Legos would be proud!Famous Monuments
Mt. Rushmore: This Lego rendition of Mt. Rushmore is great tribute to the 60 foot tall sculptures located on a mountainside in South Dakota. George, Thomas, Teddy, and Abe would be proud!
Statue of Liberty: This huge Lego sculpture of the Statue of Liberty is quite patriotic, don’t you think?
Iwo Jima: Here’s an incredible representation of the famous dedication to the men who fought at the battle of Iwo Jima. This model used over 100,000 Legos, and it stands over 6 feet tall.Artistic Expressions
Abstract Art: These awesome Lego sculptures were created by Nathan Sawaya, and they each have their own meaning. Much like traditional art pieces, with Lego art the true meaning of the piece is determined by each individual.
Mustang Mosaic: This photo shows-off a 90? x 50? mosaic of a Ford Mustang being driven by the Java mascot. This artistic Lego creation was on display at a computer trade show, and it took the builder nearly 3 days to complete.
Beatles: This beautiful Lego mosaic of the Beatles is based upon a 1967 photo that later was used on the cover of their “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band” album. This piece of art consists of about 20,000 Lego pieces, and its dimensions are 2.5-feet tall by 5-feet wide. It took 8 tedious months to complete this awesome Lego rendition of the Beatles.
Lego Family: This full-size replica of a family of tourists, and their dogs, is simply incredible. The amount of detail put into these Lego sculptures is amazing, and I’m sure time-consuming.
Baseball Player: Here’s a Lego sculpture for all of those Chicago White Sox fans out there.Guns
Guns: These extremely detailed Lego brick guns are nearly identical to the real thing. With working hammers, triggers, locks and slides, these guns are real as any Lego gun can be. The limited edition MP5 kit contains 973 Lego bricks, and there are only 12 of these kits in existence – making this Lego set extremely rare.
Cities & Buildings
Las Vegas: Check out this small-scale Lego version of ‘Sin City’. This awesomely detailed version of Las Vegas is located at Legoland.
Chrysler Building: This replica of the Chrysler Building is made entirely of Legos, and it’s located at the Times Square location of Toys R Us in New York City. It’s not quite as tall as the 1047 foot tall real thing, but it still soars into the sky by Lego standards.
Allianz Arena: Check-out this scaled-down replica of Allianz Arena in Munich. This Lego version of the soccer stadium has all of the little details of the real thing – it even features working stadium lighting.
Venice: Lego’s version of Venice, Italy’s water canal-laced landscape, complete with the Grand Canal and St. Mark’s Square.
Church: Lego people need to go to Church too! This was so realistic that the first time I saw it I thought it was real!
Brooklyn Bridge: Here’s a Lego version of one of the most famous bridges in the world – the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. This piece of Lego architecture spans an impressive 7 feet.
New York City: This city-scape of New York City is one of Legoland’s greatest attractions. It must have taken so much dedication to create this replica because they are just so close to the real thing, only much smaller.Vehicles & Boats
Aircraft Carrier: This huge Lego aircraft carrier is modeled after the USS Harry S. Truman carrier. It uses about 300,000 Lego bricks in all and it weighs about 350lbs. The nearly 15-foot ship is a true boat, because when put in water, it does stay afloat!
Volvo XC90: This Volvo XC90 Lego replica features outstanding detail, and looks just like the real thing. This one is located at Legoland.Star Wars Characters
Darth Vader & R2D2: For all of you Star Wars fans out there (and there are plenty of you), here’s the Lego versions of Darth Vader and R2D2. The Darth Vader model is a full-size rendition, while the R2D2 model stands about 3 feet tall.
Queen Amidala: Straight out of Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace, this life-size Lego sculpture of Queen Amidala is about 5 feet tall. This sculpture uses over 55,000 Legos (she’s not hollow), and it took the creator about 1 month to complete.
Invisible Hand: Lego builder Mark Kelso took 9 long months to finish this exact replica of the Invisible Hand – General Grevious’ ship from Star Wars Episode III. This thing is about 73-inches long, and it weighs about 30lbs.
Hans Solo: This 10,000 brick Lego creation represents Star Wars character Hans Solo frozen in carbonite. This Lego sculpture is definitely one-of-a-kind.
Lego CP30 & Clone Wars Trooper: These are some extremely detailed, life-size versions of CP30 and a Clone Wars Trooper, both made entirely of Legos. They were on-display at the annual 2008 Toy Fair.Animals
Dragon: Check out the detail that was put into this Lego sculpture of a dragon. What’s cool about this design is that it’s actually located in the water – nice touch! Brickley, as the dragon’s called, is located at Walt Disney World.
Stegosaurus: This 14 foot long Jurassic sculpture of a Stegosaurus is 6 foot tall and 3 foot wide. If you have an extra 7 months of time to kill, you can create one of these cool Lego sculptures in your living room too!
Animals: The so-called ‘Brick Artist’ Nathan Sawaya is a Lego building genius. This guy has created some of the most amazing Lego sculptures in the world. Here’s a look at just a few of the animal sculptures that he’s recently finished – all completely made of Lego bricks, of course.
The best Lego video ever!
