Man's Lego City in His Basement Leaves Internet Shook: 'Tour Please'

A man from Pennsylvania built an entire Lego city in his basement, and internet users are obsessed with it.

In a viral TikTok video shared earlier in October by @paulinapitera13, the young man can be seen proudly standing by his Lego city, complete with roads, spaceships, a lake, and lots of skyscrapers, including one even taller than himself.

"When he tells you to be smarter with your finances and stop spending money on concerts but this is the Lego city he built in his basement," reads a caption shared with the post. Newsweek reached out to @paulinapitera13 for comment via email. We could not verify the details of the case.

The video immediately went viral on the platform, receiving over 11.9 million views and 2.1 million likes, and even the Lego official account asked: "who is this diva?"

One user, Wara, commented: "Lego city tour please."

Br.3ndz said: "I have to know how much he spent [because] Lego is expensiveeeee."

Kylee added: "That needs too be worth like $8,000 ATLEAST."

While the poster did not disclose how much he spent on his Lego city, it is clear that he did spend a lot of money, considering that the price of a tall skyscraper can be around $500, depending on the size and model.

According to data published by Statista, Lego, which in Danish means "play well," is the largest recognized toy brand in the world. The company has been around since the 1930s and last year alone made over $8.8 billion in revenue.

In 2023, almost half of the brand's sales were registered in America, 46.84 percent, 39.15 percent in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and only about 14 percent in Asia and Pacific territories.

When it comes to toys, no country is a bigger consumer than the United States. Data shows that the 'Toys & Games' segment of the toys and hobby market reported $38.5 billion in revenue.

Statista says that among the people who buy toys online, at least 89 percent know of Lego as a brand, and about 49 percent use them.

As of June 2023, Miloš Křeček from Czechia has the Guinness World Record for the world's largest collection of Lego sets with 6,005, which he started collecting ever since receiving his first set for Christmas at the age of 5.
