White Nun Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Just saw this doesn't have much detail. Does anyone know anymore? Tower D Well it made the news on TV here in New Zealand which was great to see. What on earth are they going to do with all those bricks afterwards though? Quote
zyrex Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 ..and last summer they were in Norway and beat the previous world record :P Quote
clarkovitch Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Just saw this doesn't have much detail. Does anyone know anymore? Tower D Apparently they used half a million bricks, and 6000 people were involved in making it, all done in a weekend: pretty impressive stuff: Brazil Lego Tower I haven't got any really good pictures of it, though? Anyone? DC Quote
Dazmundo Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 Apparently they used half a million bricks, and 6000 people were involved in making it, all done in a weekend: pretty impressive stuff: Brazil Lego Tower I haven't got any really good pictures of it, though? Anyone? DC Interesting that the link I posted claimed it was 25cm taller than the Chilie tower but yours claimed 6m taller! They both have the Brazil tower at 31.19m though so it must be the Chilie tower that they are not so sure about. D Quote
Lasse D Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 It's some folks at LEGO who run this ans make sure that every new tower is just a bit larger than the last one in order to ensure a new world record every time. It's a nice project which always gathers a lot of people. Quote
DLuders Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Here is a longer (1:30) YouTube video (with English subtitles) that shows the modules being placed on top of the Brazil Lego Tower. WorldRecordsAcademy posted the video, and wrote: "SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Nearly 6,000 Lego lovers in Sao Paulo, mostly children, helped put together 500,000 Lego pieces which were later stacked using a crane; the Lego tower reached 102 feet and 3 inches - setting the new world record for the Tallest Lego Tower." AOL News has a nice article about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp-ALHtZEms Edited April 13, 2011 by DLuders Quote
