Children and adults dream of working for the LEGO Group, building 20 foot tall dinosaurs and giant minifigures. Around the world the LEGO Group has teams of model builders who do just that! Statues are being built every day for a variety of occasions such as comic-cons, LEGO Store openings and brand campaigns.
Once the campaign or event is over these statues often make their way to a warehouse where they are stored till the next time they are called upon. Some of these creations will be hidden for decades, others continue to make appearances, and some are moved to a "permanent" residence such as LEGOLAND®. These statues can hold an emotional connection with some LEGO fans just like building a LEGO set.
I found a couple models that are located in storage at the Enfield, Connecticut warehouse. I am not certain of the story behind these models but hopefully you will recognize a few from different events, magazine articles or brand campaigns. Please share any information you have. Maybe you even have a picture or a story about your experience with these or other LEGO models that had an impact on you.
