Sagrada Família Lego set (lego.com)

What's the smallest 360deg camera? Would it be possible to create a virtual tour of the inside of this model with such a camera?

Would interesting to use a quest and take a tour of the insides.

This looks very repetitive and not-fun to build.

Wonder if it will take as long to complete the Lego version as it took to complete the real thing.

If we scale it by height, a historically accurate building of this set should take you approximately 200 days.

For the price tag I would have expected something bigger and more imposing (at least twice the size.)

When I was a kid I used to spend entire days building and creating new stuff once I built the designs from the booklets.

Today when I see a Lego kit is kind of another toy: is designed to build one and only one design, compared to the generic kits that were sold and also popular many years ago.

All these new kits pieces are just to accomplish one build. The Lego spirit of ever combining and creating with same pieces over and over again is gone.

I'm sad that the building instructions link doesn't work. I'd love to see them.

Once built, what does one do with this? Generally, these are fragile in the sense that moving them can cause parts of it to become disconnected or fall apart so you don't want to be moving it around to much. It's going to take up a whole lot of space. Your kids can't actually play with it. And if you intend to show it off, you aren't really showing any real skills except for the ability to follow pages and pages of instructions. I don't even want to think about what would be involved in disassembling it such that it could be rebuilt per the instructions.

Looking forward to the expansion pack(s) for when they finish building the real cathedral

I like the idea of doing lego models, until I'm about 1/2 way through, then I think, "never again"

What they really should have done is sell the kit in 7 stages, each for $99 each, such that you can slowly build it as you can budget money for the construction. :)

(This is how the Sagrada Família was built in case folks don't know its history)

To all North Americans. The singular of Lego is Lego. The plural of Lego is .. Lego.

It's like sheep. Legos is a mis--spelled City in Nigeria.

It seems like this Lego set should also take 150+ years to build

If at all, then the white bricks of LEGO Architecture Studio are on my wishlist just because i dont like following instructions https://a.co/d/0iJANnKK

People are apparently willing to pay a premium for older Lego sets, provided the original packaging is still intact.

Older sets are offered and sold on eBay for substantially more oney that they cost when originally sold.

somebody outta make a cheaper affordable lego alternative

its a god damn crime what lego is getting away with

And how many of these 12,060 pieces are tiny pieces?

Maybe it’s time to add the weight and the stud count

I normally love Lego's interpretation of various real architectural works but I don't believe there is enough detail here to really capture the unique style of Gaudi's design.

We're not supposed to finish this right?

I’ll never get Lego. Assembling a plastic premade model, with full instructions to get a blocky pixelated representation of the final thing. It just feels so tacky, it has no gravitas.

That being said, I love Lego as a company and wish them all the success.

Would be funny if every box was missing a few pieces so you can not finish it :-)

I have the 2017 edition of the Lego Millenium Falcon and ~7500 pieces took about 30 hours without being super organized or focused. At that rate, this is almost 50 hours of assembly but I'd wager there's a ton of duplication in this one, likely speeding things up.

And yes, for these sorts of sets, you put them on display. I added LEDs to mine:

Oh boy, I hope they didn't miss the opportunity here: this set must be missing the last pieces, complementary kits should be issued in the coming decades.
