A grown-up sized Lego car

My two Lego fans will surely go crazy for this.

Ford Explorer released a unique model today -- this one comprised of 380,000 Lego bricks.

The bright red model is meant to commemorate a new corporate relationship between Legoland in Florida and the Ford Explorer.

It weighs 2,654 pounds and is supported by an aluminum interior base that weighs 768 pounds.

Check it out!

Thanks for sharing this post! That's cool. I know, a boy, who would love this news: my husband. He was a big fan when a kid. My 18 month old baby girl is a bit small for it. :). I enjoyed your blog, just came across it today. And will definitely be checking parentcentral.ca, as a result of it.

This is amazing! I can't believe what you can do with Lego! My daughter's and I feel inspired to built something =) Thanks for sharing this video.
