MOCpages had a collaborative build that was displayed at BrickWorld 2011 in Wheeling, Illinois.
They collaborated to build the most EPIC LEGO display I’ve ever seen.
Being collaborative, I’m not sure how they figured out who’s LEGOs belonged to whom, but none-the-less, the result was absolutely jaw-dropping:
That was a lot of LEGO dudes.
Wait.
That was a lot of LEGOS!!!
You can see a few more photos and read about the back story on the MOCpages website.

These are impressive, but what I want to know is whether these are created using the standard selection of lego bricks that you can buy pretty much anywhere or are there specially developed bricks made for specifically these structures?
Eric Dye says
It’s a LEGO building club, so I would imagine these are standard LEGOs. Whether they buy some of the colors and sizes in bulk, I’m not sure.

I realize I’m a little late to the party here but allow me to answer your questions. Yes, they are ALL standard Lego pieces. I’m part of the group that built this (a few years back). I did the top half of Minas Tirith and Isengard (I was also involved in the Wizard of Oz build you blogged on the other page which led me to this one…). As for buying in bulk… oh yes. Many of the members of our group purchase from an online “lego” store (not sponsored or owned by the Lego Group) called Bricklink. I personally like to buy mine in cases from my local Lego store. Interesting tidbit… all of those pictures above are the ones I took myself. You can find the entire backstory on this build and how it all came together on my mocpage (http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/276793). Thanks again for the coverage and just wait till you see what we have planned for BrickWorld 2014! ~Chris.

Sweet! Thanks for the link, Chris. 😀
These are some of my favorite LEGO builds of all time. Seriously. Awesome.

I am in awe of these models – it must have been so great to work on these projects (and possibly a interesting study into group dynamics because most Lego nerds are by nature solitary creatures) and see them go from a concept to a 3D masterpiece. I would sooo have loved a close up of the ‘eye of Sauron’ – how on earth did they make that? btw I am a Lego nerd and am raising 3 more. we just spent the whole day today playing with the wonder product. Thank you for posting this and I am glad I stumbled upon your blog.

Cool! LEGO-on!
