Most of the CLZ team members love building Lego projects in their spare time. So we decided to a big build together, at the CLZ HQ:

The Lego Barad-dûr tower.

40 bags of bricks for 40 build stages, a total of 5,471 bricks!

The CLZ team is taking turns building this huge tower. Follow our progress here!
