The world’s tallest ever Lego tower erected in Hungary

Sometimes you just have to do a thing just because you can. And sometimes you have to do a thing to see if you can do it better than someone else (who did it just because they could).

Last week, a team of Official Lego Builders arrived in Budapest with the aim to break the Guinness World Record for The Tallest Structure Built with Interlocking Plastic Bricks. The previous holder of that record claimed it in August last year by students in Delaware with a tower standing 34.43m (112ft 11in) tall and comprising some 500,000 bricks.
