A colossal 150k-piece Lego homage to the Battle of Helm’s Deep

Wish you had $ 20,000 to create this Lego masterpiece ? Me too . This impressive recreation of the epic engagement of Helm ’s Deep took four months , 150,000 bricks and 1,700 minifigs to build . It ’s about 90 % finished and consider around 160 lb . If Tolkien was alive to see this , I believe he ’d cry with joyousness ( and probably say something cool about it in Elvish ) .

Builders Rich - K and Big J were let down by the official Lego Helm ’s Deep set unblock last year , so they decided to build up it themselves . Although the Lego exercise set is the largest of theLord of the Rings sets , coming in at 1,368 man , this court totally blows it away , albeit with a $ 20k toll tag . But , I really ca n’t think of anything else I ’d rather spend $ 20k on … ok , perhaps a car .

You ’ll have the chance to see this creation at the Cincinnati Comic Con Expo , September 13th-15th , or catch it at BrickWorld Fort Wayne , September 28th and 29th . [ Mocpages ]
