LEGO



I have read that today is the 50th anniversary of the day the patent was approved for the LEGO brick. Lego is celebrating their anniversary and they have over 100 new items. Their website is fun and they have some hard to find items.

Lego turns 50

Here is a time lapse video of a man assembling the "Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon" Lego kit. It has 5195 pieces. He captured one frame out of every 150, so it took him 150 times longer to build the kit than to watch the video. It probably took him 7.5 hours to build it. I think it would be fun to put that one together.
