Lego Australia reveals the top ten moments recreated with Lego Minifigures in new photographic gallery via Host + One Green Bean
Australia today reveals LEGO Minifigure recreations of the top ten Aussie moments from the past 50 years, as voted by the nation via Host and One Green Bean.
In an exciting photographic gallery, ‘Creating History’ is a showcase of the nation’s fondest nostalgic moments on display now at LEGOfestival.com.au. From unforgettable sporting milestones, iconic Aussie films and significant occasions – the moments are now immortalised forever.
In July, the Australian public was invited to choose from 25 moments over a three-week period. Almost 14,000 votes were cast, and esteemed British photographer Mike Stimpson has spent weeks recreating the top ten in a playful and fun way using LEGO Minifigures.
Say Stimpson: “Creating historical 
moments with LEGO Minifigures is a great passion of mine, and I’ve had a lot of fun taking these moments that Aussies hold are so dear to them and turning them into fun and playful LEGO Minifigure versions.”
Creating History is the latest activation to be announced as part of this year’s LEGO Festival of Play, a series of digital, social and experiential events
all paying homage to the humble LEGO brick and its 50-year milestone in Australia.

Like the Lego for adults more.
Something like .06% of the Australian population voted (including, you’d imagine many votes from those involved in the project), but you can pretty much guarantee the entry video will make it feel like the entire country got behind this, and it was some kind of national phenomenon.
fuck I love entry videos.
Really?
…you have to love the construction hard hat in the men’s skating at the Winter Olympics. Skating, it’s just something these blokes do on their way to the worksite.
Harry Potter sailed on Australia II?
