10 Foot Brick in New York to Celebrate LEGO 60th Anniversary

January 26, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier today, LEGO revealed a large-scale model of a red 2×4 brick that is located at the Flatiron District in New York City to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick. The model consists of 133,000 bricks, weighs 1,200 pounds, and took about 350 hours to construct. The 10-foot 2×4 will be at the Flatiron Plaza at the corner of Fifth Avenue, 23rd Street and Broadway, at Madison Square Park and will be there until 4pm Sunday, January 28.

LEGO is going all out with their marketing for the 60th anniversary celebration. Yesterday, it was revealed there will be some Walmart exclusive 60th anniversary LEGO sets that are reported to be available starting on Sunday as well. Check out the time-lapse video of the construction of the 2×4 brick below.

This set is the third Walmart exclusive set that was revealed yesterday. This set has 44 pieces and like the other two, it will go for $19.99 as well.

LEGOLAND® California’s General Manager Peter Ronchetti and LEGOLAND® Hotel Manager Frank Idris also addressed the crowd providing Resort updates and new details about North America’s first LEGOLAND Castle Hotel.

And, we achieved our goal of becoming the first hotel in Carlsbad to achieve the Environmentalist level from the California Green Lodging Association thanks to all of the additional conservation efforts that were implemented this past year.“
