The members of RoLUG (Romanian LEGO® Users Group), with support from LEGO Romania, have built the largest LEGO® brick diorama in the world. The record was adjudicated by Guinness World Records at the East European Comic Con, 2024
The diorama is an over 1-million LEGO bricks ode to the Star Wars universe, tying main events throughout the animated series, Star Wars Rebels, as well as elements and characters from the original trilogy. Its total area of 45.746 square meters, covered exclusively using LEGO bricks, with no additional support system is what brought the build the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title.
Making use of both vertical and horizontal space to add dynamics and depth, the model recreates in great detail all landforms from the Lothal planet, prevalent in the Star Wars universe, with battleships, vehicles, and over 1,500 minifigures which give the model the impression of motion.
A team of 26 members from the RoLUG organization helped build the record-breaking model over a three-year span. The last square meter of the diorama was built live, with the contribution of the enthusiastic visitors of the East European Comic Con, who each added a brick, in order to finalize the model.
“At LEGO Group, we believe in creativity as a tool to discover, fuel, and express passions. I am thrilled to have found a shared perspective in our long-term partners at RoLUG, together with whom we managed to showcase what passion and creativity can do when brought together. The world record we are celebrating now is a joint milestone on the Romanian market and a valuable encouragement to continue to be involved where passion thrives”, said Valery Kasimov, Country Manager Romania & Bulgaria at the LEGO Group.
“For us, the RoLUG community, this world record represents a dream come true. This project symbolizes the culmination of three years filled with passion, dedication, teamwork and collaboration. We believe this moment not only represents a major milestone in our mission, but also confirms our profound belief: the LEGO brick is not merely a child’s toy, but a powerful tool for expressing one’s imagination and creativity across all ages. With this remarkable accomplishment, we’re ready for new adventures, and we’d like to extend a warm invitation to fellow enthusiasts to join us in this inspiring journey”, said Mirona Constantin, RoLUG Ambassador.
The previously set world record stood at 30.66 square meters and was registered in France, in 2021.
