Many of us, when we were children, probably played with Lego sets and built amazing structures, which we then showed to friends and parents. Lego does not forget to delight with collectible editions. However, while most people, having matured, continued to engage in construction, playing games like Minecraft, the other part remained true to the Lego hobby. Some of these people were able to build completely incredible structures from Lego that they dreamed of building as children.You can also see the rating of the 10 most expensive Lego constructors.
10. Lego chandelier
One man dreamed of building an unusual chandelier without spending a lot of money. Luckily, he had a lot of designer parts, including transparent ones, they were intended for the construction of windows. He put all the pieces together, and the result was a huge chandelier, which took several thousand pieces to assemble.
The chandelier came out quite massive, and it looks amazing, despite the fact that the material for it was a designer, and not crystal, which is usually used to make chandeliers. The structure is larger than the builder's height, and it took an incredible amount of effort to complete the assembly.
9. Replica Tower of Mordor
Kevin Walter is a big fan of “Lord of the Rings", As well as a Lego constructor. At the same time, he was dissatisfied with the usual options for buildings from the designer.

More than 50,000 construction parts and almost 3 months of work were spent on the creation of the tower. The structure looks very impressive, especially when the gaze falls on Sauron's eye.
8. Model rocket Saturn-5
The Saturn 5 rocket was used to launch satellites from 1960 to 1970. One man decided to build a replica of a rocket out of Lego, about 6 meters high.

At one time, a copy of the rocket could be seen in the Melbourne City Hall.

Once, someone thought that the world would be imperfect without an almost full-sized copy. Ferrari F1, assembled exclusively from Lego parts. Realizing the seriousness of the global deficit Ferrari from the Lego constructor, no less than sixteen Lego experts worked on the creation of the masterpiece.
The design and engineering of the structure took six months, and then it took 10 days of around the clock work of a team of people to directly assemble. The number of parts required for construction was in the hundreds of thousands. The copy turned out to be so detailed that it seems that a real person can control it, if you do not pay attention to the fact that it is assembled from a constructor.
6. Huge Nintendo DSi model
Someone decided that the only thing that would be better than a portable work console Nintendo dsi, will become a copy that is larger than human height, which is completely useless as a video game system. The structure was built from 50,000 Lego pieces and weighs about 113 kg.
However, cynics managed to notice that this is far from just a construction invented by a madman. American branch Nintendo made an order for the creation of this structure. This means that the giant model of the game console is actually an original marketing ploy.

The designer, together with one thousand volunteers, spent a huge amount of time assembling this structure. Unfortunately, this story ended sadly. Nobody wanted to buy a home built with 3 million Lego pieces. Legoland Park initially wanted to buy it, however, its management decided that the transportation of such a massive structure would cost a lot. In addition, the initial permits were not received for the construction, so the house had to be demolished. Fortunately, the details were saved and sent to charity.
2. Giant aircraft carrier model
The 36-year-old IT consultant decided it was time to take his hobby to the next level. This resulted in the creation of an extremely detailed and large-sized Lego structure.

The weight of the model is 159 kg, and the assembly took more than 300,000 designer parts.
Hundreds of hours were spent on the design and assembly of the model of the aircraft carrier, and in the end it turned out to be detailed to the very last lifebuoy. The creator of the structure explained that he took on an incredible project, because as a child he loved to play with the Lego constructor.
