And Now: The World’s Tallest Lego Tower

Posted on April 25th, 2011 by axb

In addition to its legendary soccer prowess, Brazil now has one more thing to brag about: being home to the world’s tallest Lego tower.

Over 6,000 Brazilian children participated in the 4-day construction effort earlier this month in Sao Paulo, crafting small sections of the monument. Around 500,000 individual Lego pieces were used, and the tower reached a final height of 102 feet (beating out Chile’s previous record by about 10 inches).

Watch a video of the tower’s construction below:
