LEGO launches the largest brick set in its history. The Colosseum will cost nearly 2,500 lei and has over 9,000 pieces – Compagnie

The total number of pieces is 9,036. It is the largest LEGO brick set released so far, the previous record held by a Star Wars set.

The model includes a reproduction of the three distinct floors of the Colosseum, with Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns. These columns have been faithfully recreated in the form of LEGO bricks, using a suite of creative building techniques, including decorative scrolls, recreated by recoloring a LEGO roll element, flipped, for an authentic look, the company says.

The set also includes 80 arcades in the spectator area (same number as the original) and three shades of colors to replicate the various columns and suggest the passage of time for the almost 2000 year milestone.
