12,060 piece, $799.99, Sagrada Família is the largest Lego building set to date

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

This looks very repetitive and not-fun to build.

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

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

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.

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.
