The LEGO Sydney Opera House is amazing on several levels. Not only does it encourage creativity and imagination as the iconic building block toys were made to do, it educates children on a cultural landmark that they might not get the chance to set eyes on for years yet. Similar to another LEGO product created last year, this LEGO Sydney Opera House version is much more complex and has a 16+ rating instead of a 12+.
The set is made up of a whopping 2,989 bricks and measures 11 inches high, 25 inches wide and 15 inches deep when completely built. Naturally, the LEGO Sydney Opera House is priced at Jovian proportions, ringing in at $320.
