World's Tallest Lego Tower Made Of 550,000 Bricks

The title of the Guinness World Record is "Tallest structure built with interlocking plastic bricks." But let's be honest: There's no need for the non-branded lingo (unless K'Nex is planning a skyscraper I don't know about). We're talking about the biggest damn Lego tower in the world, which Lego Italia built this summer. It stood at 35.05 meters tall, or about 114 ft and 11 inches.
This world record is like a slow-paced game of Jenga, in which the title creeps a little higher and a little higher each year. A 2013 tower made it to 112 ft, 11.75 inches. Lego Store Budapest built a tower last summer that soared to 114 ft, 0.5 inches. Next year's winner will presumably top 115 feet.
