How many Lego bricks does it take to make a castle?
Anywhere from a couple thousand to tens of thousands, of depending on the size of the project. Small Scottish and Irish towers such a Affleck or Clara could be built by most anyone with lots of Lego bricks, since a huge number of gray bricks isn’t needed. On the other hand, I have a drawer full of castles, such as Caernarvon (Wales) and Burg Eltz (Germany), that I have designed but are still too large for even my extensive collection of bricks! But my collection grows, and eventually I’ll have enough bricks.
