Imagine the size of the box this one came in -- a Lego tower
stretching 36 meters into the sky above the Hungarian capital Budapest.
The 34.76- meter (114
feet) tower, which was completed on Sunday, has been certified as the
world's tallest toy brick structure by Guinness World Records.
The 34.76- meter (114
feet) tower, which was completed on Sunday, has been certified as the
world's tallest toy brick structure by Guinness World Records.
It beat the previous
record holder, a 34.4-meter structure constructed last year with the
help of U.S. students from a school in Delaware.
A spokesman for Guinness
World Records confirmed that the tower qualified as the "tallest
structure built with interlocking plastic bricks."
He said the record was officially registered to Lego Store Budapest on May 25.
The Budapest tower,
topped by a Rubik's cube -- a Hungarian invention -- was also built with
the help of Hungarian primary school children, according to local news websites.
The structure, built in front of the city's St. Stephen's Basilica, used hundreds of thousands of blocks.
