The big event climaxed with the final assembly of a 16-foot-tall, two-ton Big Apple that 17,000 people helped build. The store also houses Lego versions of over two dozen classic New York landmarks and scenes.

I like earbuds. I like Lego bricks. But when you combine those two things? Get out of town.

If you're a fan of Mass Effect or Mass Effect 2, then you've no doubt already recognized the model above as the massive Citadel space station, which serves as the HQ for the galaxy's government. Brandon Bannerman brought the station to life using LEGOs — twice.

Remember when you were a little kid, and the word work meant sorting all of your Legos by shape and color?
