Well if the simple thought of that got you excited, then you won't want to miss out when a huge celebration of the Danish building bricks hits Orange later this year.
Graham Draper is a founding member of charity Gonglug, which stands for Wollongong Lego User Group.
The charity travels around the state showing off some masterful designs and already has a presence in the Central West, with an annual event held in Mudgee for the past three years.
Now based in Wollongong, the former Orange man is bringing his passion back to the city in the form of a one-day Lego extravaganza.

"We like to take it to the regional locations where they might not get these kinds of shows," he said.
"This time around we were all thinking like 'where are we going to go?' and I thought 'why not go to Orange?'.
"Obviously as a kid I remember having it when I was four or five years old, but probably about eight years ago I got back into it very seriously and it's become part of my life these days and I do a lot of big shows."
The event will take place at the Ex-Services' Club on Saturday, June 12 and will feature around 60 tables full of custom builds from other master builders.
"This is anything ranging from 25 square centimetre up to 2.5 metre by 2 metre, 50,000 piece Hogwarts layout," Mr Draper said.
"We'll have play tables where kids can come along and build their own little creations.
"Some kids spend hours on this table just building to their hearts content. Some other little activities will be some RC cars and some of our members also sell Lego to recoup travel cost so there will be Lego for sale."
But away from all the colourful creations lies a good cause.
Over the four years the group has been running they have raised nearly $117,000 the children's charity down in Wollongong.
If initial interest is anything to go by, then their trip to Orange is sure to be a packed one.
"I put a random post on Facebook just to gauge some interest and I was blown away," Mr Draper said.
"I sold about 70 tickets in one night and that was the first time I'd advertised it. People jumped all over it so I'm feeling very confident it's going to be a successful show."
