Move over USA, Hungary now holds the world record for the tallest LEGO tower, NTD reports. The 34.76 meter-tall (114 foot-tall) tower was constructed in front of Saint Stephen's Basilica in Budapest, Hungary. The previous record was 34.43 meters (just shy of 113 feet) built by a school in Delaware last summer. If you were hoping to head over to Budapest to check it out I'm afraid you're too late - the tower is being disassembled today. I'm sure someone else will step up soon to try to top this new record though! View the full article
