The final set is, I'll admit, that scourge of complexity-craving AFOLs, the hated Stack-o-Bricks. The use of jumper plates to center the structure is the most advanced building technique on display here. But honestly, that's intrinsic to the design of the building itself. The Sears Tower is square in plan, subdivided into a bundle of nine smaller squares that are extruded straight up to varying heights. It's a form that lends itself well to a pretty simple interpretation in LEGO bricks.

Brick Insights

Figuring it wasn't enough to index LEGO reviews, we decided we needed to write some as well! Simple and to the point, this blog is where three Swedish LEGO geeks vent and rave about the sets we buy.

Oh, and we're not related to The LEGO Group or The LEGO Company in any way shape or form. We just really like their toys, the AFOL community and the creativity of it all.
