It may not set any world records, but this Lego city is cooler than any plastic metropolis we’ve seen. Built by the Hong Kong Lego User Group, the partial Beijing replica celebrates next month’s Olympics with scale models of many of the venues where the Games will take place, including the National Stadium, the National Aquatics Center, and Olympic Village.

The model consists of over 300,000 bricks and 4,500 figures, and will be on display at the Grand Century Palace in Hong Kong through August 31. After the jump, check out a gallery of pics to see the amazing attention to detail.

    Went there two days ago after dinner. They have a guy fishing at the swimming pool, and one of the cars has a The Joker logo on it.
