Lego’s biggest set ever is coming out soon: the 12,060-piece Sagrada Família. $800. It will take as long to build as the actual cathedral — you may not live to see it finished.

The biggest part of me thinks that if I ever built this model I would not finish it on purpose.
My first reaction was, "where's the scaffolding?!?"
I love it! I went a few months back, so I'm predisposed to liking it — but I've not seen anything on earth that felt like Sagrada Familia. My brain is so broken that when I first looked up at the vaulted ceiling, I thought this reminds me of Minecraft, which is a compliment but is also a weird sensation to feel in one of the most astounding spaces on earth.
Also, for a bit, I was sampling all kinds of LEGO content on YouTube, and the only one I still keep up with is Brickcrafts. I love them with my whole heart. He creates new ways of building and using LEGO bricks while creating cities and landscapes that he imagines. It's exquisite.
