Lego Americana Roadshow

Earlier this week I was lucky enough to get to see the Lego Americana Roadshow at a local mall. It is described as "Iconic buildings and architectural structures throughout the mall made entirely of LEGO bricks". It was pretty incredible. I started to ask myself how anyone could want to build a gigantic thing out of thousands of tiny little blocks but then I realized that I create (relatively) big needlework projects out of tiny little stitches so I guess it does make sense.

 

[Note: double-clicking a picture brings up a larger more detailed version.]

 

In addition to the big patriotic displays there were some excellent small ones too.

 

It is hard to see, but under the white structure there is a circular green spaceship that has crashed into and derailed a train.

 

 

This next one was named Good Earth Mall but it has been vandalized by the little fellow on the ladder.

 

 

 

 

 

This one is a mining operation.

 

 

 

And this one is New York City.

 

 

 

 

Now for the really big stuff.

 

The Washington Monument.


 

 

The Liberty Bell. Note that this one is actual size!
