One Night in King of Prussia

Based off a true story! In the late 1980s when I was around 5 years old, I had one of my fondest memories. My mom drove me to the King of Prussia shopping mall near Philadelphia, which was exhibiting a huge LEGO-themed event. The mall showcased numerous giant life-sized LEGO sculptures [similar to the ones seen at Legoland] inside displays; these were built by Master Model Builders. In addition, random stations were setup containing buckets of assorted LEGO pieces and minifigures for kids to play with.

This event overwhelmed me to say the least. I was utterly flabbergasted with excitement at the sight of seeing so much LEGO at that point, and my mom struggled to calm me down! The massive sculptures at the mall filled me with inspiration, as I had never seen anything of that magnitude in my life.

In this vignette, we can see a young kid me going berserk at the sight of a massive LEGO brick sculpture guy – an accurate reenactment of the events that took place one night in King of Prussia.
