Lego's Biggest Set Ever Arrives On Black Friday
Lego's Biggest Set Ever Arrives On Black Friday-December 2024
Dec 24, 2024 11:59 AM

  Many of us have had an unexpected amount of time on our hands this year, and it's a situation that might not be changing any time soon. Luckily, Lego is here to keep our brains and hands occupied, with the upcoming release of its biggest ever set--the Lego Roman Colosseum.

  The Roman Colosseum is made up of a staggering 9,036 pieces, which is considerably more than the previously biggest set, the 7,541-piece Millennium Falcon. This latest set will be available on November 27, which is Black Friday. It will set you back $550, and while that's obviously a lot of money, it's actually $150 cheaper than the Falcon set.

  The Roman Colosseum set includes many real life details from one of the world's most famous landmarks. These include a recreation of the three distinct stories from the Colosseum, the columns of each story, the "ribs" of the spectator stand, and a variety of contrasting colors to show the aging of this nearly-2000 year old building. It sits on an oval base, ensuring that builders can display any side of the Colosseum. Check it out below:

  The set was designed by Rok Zgalin Kobe. In a statement, he said, "One of the biggest challenges and one of the most important things was to convey the Colosseum’s monumentality in the LEGO form. I felt that the LEGO model should display a special architectural feature of the original--the rows of columns flanking the arches in different styles.

  "To achieve that, the model is constructed using an effect of vertical exaggeration. The cross-section is therefore far steeper than on the real structure. Hopefully, people will be inspired to learn more about the original through the experience of building the LEGO model."
