Corrections:
-Measures over 20" (51cm) wide and over 16" (41cm) tall
(if it really was 3' x 2' it'd require up to 13,265 more bricks to build)
-The LEGO Group was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen. He coined the name 'LEGO', an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt" (meaning "play well") in 1934.
-The LEGO brick in its present form was launched in 1958.
-And it WILL be available in Switzerland for 489.00 CHF but 43% of the LEGO minifigs in Wangen bei Olten, Langenthal and Wil want to ban it ;)
