Full-size Lego Toyota Camry Revealed
A full-size Lego Toyota Camry has been revealed ahead of its public debut at Melbourne’s Brickman Awesome exhibition in Melbourne.
MORE THAN 500,000 Lego bricks were used to create the Toyota Camry replica which weighs in at around 2000kg and took 900 hours to build. As you can see in the pictures, the Lego version features key details, including Toyota logos on the alloy wheels, hybrid lettering, working headlights, indicators and brake lights.
“We’re so excited to introduce the all-new Toyota Camry in a fun and interactive environment to Melbournians,” said Toyota Australia chief designer Nicolas Hogios.
“It’s amazing to see how quickly the car was put together in such a streamlined approach – much like our own design process locally in Australia.”
The Lego Camry was designed by Ryan ‘The Brickman’ McNaught, the only Lego-certified professional in the southern hemisphere and one of only 14 in the world.
Ryan said: “I’m so excited to be unveiling my newest Lego creation – a life-sized Toyota Camry – at Brickman Awesome in Melbourne. It’s taken over two months to build and comprises more than 500,000 bricks, but I’m really pleased with the outcome and can’t wait to see what everyone else thinks of it! I’m delighted we have partnered with Toyota and I’ve had this opportunity to build my first full-scale Lego car.”
The Lego Toyota Camry is on display at the Brickman Awesome exhibition in Melbourne Museum Plaza from Wednesday March 21 (tomorrow) to Sunday April 29.
Why on earth would you waste all that impressive effort on that ugly abomination. If you are going to all that trouble at least choose a good subject.
I believe the price should have been a tad lower to attract buyers away from the VW GTi which has a following and an image.
