Lego is celebrating its 60th birthday today.
In celebration of the anniversary, Lego has erected a 10-foot Lego Brick in Manhattan made from over 133,000 pieces.
The new sculpture which weighs over 1,200 pounds, took Master Builders 350 hours to build.
Lego remains one of the most popular toys for both kids and adults alike with 75 billion Lego bits were sold worldwide in 2016.

The toy building blocks were launched in Denmark in 1958 - taking their name from two Danish words: ‘leg’ and ‘godt’, meaning “play well’’.
