Default The Lego Volvo XC90

A full size model built by Lego engineers in cooperation with Volvo engineers in Legoland California. This must have taken some time!



There's a picture series in a norwegian newspaper, but I guess you are able to find the link to the next picture.

Holy mother of fuck. Why would they waste so much time and money for that?

I wonder how much they got paid to build it and how much the lego peices cost in order to build it.

Looks cool though. I think the element commercial is cooler too.

Sorry about the reposting. I did a search, but obviously not good enough...

Yes, just the cost of the pieces must be considerable, but nothing compared to the salary of the engineers working on it!
