15 Awe-inspiring Lego creations of all time
When the Lego group first launched their line of plastic toys (inter-locking bricks) back in the 1940’s they would not have imagined that their Lego bricks would become more than just child’s play. Lego bricks in the hand of an imaginative artist can give rise to some unimaginative works of art. Call it madness or sheer time wastage but none of this deters Lego lovers from coming up with some really nice and sometimes even, mind boggling Lego brick creations. Although there are thousands of Lego DIY creations, but none are more impressive than the ones listed below.
#1 Lego Space shuttle that almost resembles the real thing
When I first saw the picture of this amazing Lego creation, I though it was a real space shuttle going through its launch sequence ready to be projected into the orbital. But to my amazement it was a Lego replica of the space shuttle.

At the nauseating height of 100 feet, this is the record holding Lego tower structure which was made from a whooping 50,000 bricks. The tallest Lego structure was built to celebrate 50th birthday of popular childrens toys.

#3 The Lego Airbus A380
The urge for making an airplane replica using Lego bricks was so over powering that Legoland model builders ventured out on building an Airbus A380 Boeing Lego model. With the wingspan of 10.5 foot, height 3.2 foot; the Lego Airbus was carved out of 75.000 bricks (in eight colors). No wonder it took the whole team almost 600 man hours to assemble this flying demon.
