LEGO sets have come a long way since we were building blocky vehicles in our play rooms as kids. Take this James Bond Aston Martin DB5 for instance. Not only does it look insanely cool from the outside, but it boasts gadgets and clever details we could only dream of as children. Like what? The kind of stuff that would bring a tear to a Bond Minifig’s eye. There’s a concealable radar tracker, a door compartment that hides a telephone, a pair of revolving number plates, a bulletproof screen for the back window, and front wing machine guns that appear when you pull on the stick. Not enough for you? The passenger seat is also an ejector seat and there are wheel-mounted tire scythes. The 1,290-piece set will be available soon. But it’s not one of the biggest LEGO sets ever made.

The LEGO House in Denmark has recently opened its doors to the public. Located in the town of Billund, where the iconic brick was first invented, the institution has been conceived as an immersive experience center, which includes paid attractions as well as areas that are free and open to the public. Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, the building features 21 white bricks stacked on top of one other crowned by an oversized 2×4 LEGO block named the ‘Keystone’, all of which are photographed by Iwan Baan. The ground level includes a store, three restaurants, conference facilities, and a 2,000 square meter public square. The company’s story will be told in the history collection located in the basement, while the masterpiece gallery – which includes fan creations – will be located at the uppermost level. Non-paying guests are able to walk to the top of the building to enjoy views from the outdoor terraces. And for sure you will find some of the biggest Lego sets ever made to play.

LEGO’s ‘Build The Future’ is an adorably imaginative campaign that’s encouraging young children to explore their creative side by using LEGO to build the job of their dreams.

The boys are seen inside of the half-made suits, implying they’re spending everyday adding an extra block to help build their future.
