The biggest one my son has built is the Infinity gauntlet, but that one was only like 600 pieces. He just turned 14 and still enjoys the smaller sets. he has the Grogu one he has yet to build.

But i must admit, when i saw the name of this thread, I was waiting to see a building made from Legos...

Lol, oh I'm sure there's an actual lego building out there somewhere.

Very cool, where was this? Was it a traveling art show? I'd love to go to one of these.

Edit: I just looked at your first post, Raleigh...NC? If they come close to DC, I'll definitely check them out.

The Art of the Brick: the most famous LEGO® Art Exhibition

Don't miss this incredible art exhibition The Art of the Brick, with over 70 works and sculptures by Nathan Sawaya created entirely with LEGO® bricks.

That's awesome Dave.

So, my kids often ask me what I want for presents for Christmas and birthday and father's day, and generally there really aren't that many things I want, but I often tell them to get me a lego set. I do enjoy building lego sets, but the best part is making the sets with my kids.

If it was a traveling show, that is a job i would not want to be part of, moving Lego sculpures like that. Id probably be fired the first time i had to load them up.. my clumsy arse..

No doubt. The logistics for moving all of that has to be daunting.

Oh my goodness, get a hobby already will ya?! I kid, I kid. That's pretty cool. When I think of Legos, all I can think of is the torture of stepping on one. Damn kids!

My son got into Legos a few months ago. He’s into the Technic sets, he’s got 3 cars and the jeep. He’s got a couple more sets on his Xmas list

I helped on the Jeep and I enjoyed it. I haven’t touched legos in a very long time too

Yeah, the Technics are pretty fun. They have some cool little features and are functional.

The two Technics I have are a tow truck and a crane. I like that you can change them into a different build too.

I love cars and I'm eventually gonna pick a few of those up down the road. I'm getting a big set from my wife soon, for Christmas, and I can't wait, lol.

Might want to buy her a new camera for Christmas. Everything looks overly pixelated and isosurfaced.

And there is this guy. One of us!

I mean, if I had the money, I'd definitely buy all the sets and build a city in a Lego room.

which line of legos has motors?
