A full-size replica of the 1,500-horsepower supercar from Bugatti with only the wheels, tires and front badge not being made from Lego pieces. All functional parts including lights, speedometer, brakes and rising rear wing use actual Lego Technic parts. Lego reports that all significant structural and load-bearing parts of this model are fully made from Technic parts without any reinforcements or gluing of parts.

This Lego build consists of over 1 million pieces in total, weighs in at about 3,300 pounds and took over 13,000 work hours to finish. At an average of 10 cents a piece, and looking at the scale model kit of the Bugatti Chiron would make the build price just north of $100,000 USD; one tenth the cost of a real Chiron.

More supply and less demand seen across Metro Vancouver housing market

The supply of homes for sale continued to increase across the Metro Vancouver* housing market in September while home buyer demand remained below typical levels for this time of year.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in the region totalled 1,595 in September 2018, a 43.5 per cent decrease from the 2,821 sales recorded in September 2017, and a 17.3 per cent decrease compared to August 2018 when 1,929 homes sold.

Last month’s sales were 36.1 per cent below the 10-year September sales average. “Fewer home sales are allowing listings to accumulate and prices to ease across the Metro Vancouver housing market,” Ashley Smith, REBGV president-elect said. “There’s more selection for home buyers to choose from today. Since spring, home listing totals have risen to levels we haven’t seen in our market in four years.”
