I think it would be cool to build an 8' × 4' × 2' 3" Lego brick model of a Lego brick. Right.
When I was a kid I had a big set of Lego sized wooden bricks, red and yellow, with small pegs on their tops, small holes on their bottoms - made in USA, definite precursor of Lego bricks.
Yup, had Tinker Toys (wooden sticks and wooden disks with holes in them) and Lincoln Logs before them bricks. Life was good.
