The Most Intricate & Realistic Lego Creations

Baseball Player: Here’s a Lego sculpture for all of those Chicago White Sox fans out there.

Guns: These extremely detailed Lego brick guns are nearly identical to the real thing. With working hammers, triggers, locks and slides, these guns are real as any Lego gun can be. The limited edition MP5 kit contains 973 Lego bricks, and there are only 12 of these kits in existence – making this Lego set extremely rare.

Las Vegas: Check out this small-scale Lego version of ‘Sin City’. This awesomely detailed version of Las Vegas is located at Legoland.

Chrysler Building: This replica of the Chrysler Building is made entirely of Legos, and it’s located at the Times Square location of Toys R Us in New York City. It’s not quite as tall as the 1047 foot tall real thing, but it still soars into the sky by Lego standards.

Allianz Arena: Check-out this scaled-down replica of Allianz Arena in Munich. This Lego version of the soccer stadium has all of the little details of the real thing – it even features working stadium lighting.

Venice: Lego’s version of Venice, Italy’s water canal-laced landscape, complete with the Grand Canal and St. Mark’s Square.

Church: Lego people need to go to Church too! This was so realistic that the first time I saw it I thought it was real!

Brooklyn Bridge: Here’s a Lego version of one of the most famous bridges in the world – the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. This piece of Lego architecture spans an impressive 7 feet.

New York City: This city-scape of New York City is one of Legoland’s greatest attractions. It must have taken so much dedication to create this replica because they are just so close to the real thing, only much smaller.

Aircraft Carrier: This huge Lego aircraft carrier is modeled after the USS Harry S. Truman carrier. It uses about 300,000 Lego bricks in all and it weighs about 350lbs. The nearly 15-foot ship is a true boat, because when put in water, it does stay afloat!

Volvo XC90: This Volvo XC90 Lego replica features outstanding detail, and looks just like the real thing. This one is located at Legoland.
Star Wars Characters

Darth Vader & R2D2: For all of you Star Wars fans out there (and there are plenty of you), here’s the Lego versions of Darth Vader and R2D2. The Darth Vader model is a full-size rendition, while the R2D2 model stands about 3 feet tall.

Queen Amidala: Straight out of Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace, this life-size Lego sculpture of Queen Amidala is about 5 feet tall. This sculpture uses over 55,000 Legos (she’s not hollow), and it took the creator about 1 month to complete.

Invisible Hand: Lego builder Mark Kelso took 9 long months to finish this exact replica of the Invisible Hand – General Grevious’ ship from Star Wars Episode III. This thing is about 73-inches long, and it weighs about 30lbs.

Lego CP30 & Clone Wars Trooper: These are some extremely detailed, life-size versions of CP30 and a Clone Wars Trooper, both made entirely of Legos. They were on-display at the annual 2008 Toy Fair.

Animals

Dragon: Check out the detail that was put into this Lego sculpture of a dragon. What’s cool about this design is that it’s actually located in the water – nice touch! Brickley, as the dragon’s called, is located at Walt Disney World.

Stegosaurus: This 14 foot long Jurassic sculpture of a Stegosaurus is 6 foot tall and 3 foot wide. If you have an extra 7 months of time to kill, you can create one of these cool Lego sculptures in your living room too!

Animals: The so-called ‘Brick Artist’ Nathan Sawaya is a Lego building genius. This guy has created some of the most amazing Lego sculptures in the world.
