A One Piece fan's giant LEGO model of the Battle of Marineford recently went viral on Reddit after it was discovered in a collectibles store in Mongolia. The creator and designer, Bayasgalan Bayaara, claims that the model took six months, one million LEGO bricks, 5,000 LEGO Minifigures, and 25 LEGO ships to make.
The creator, Bayasgalan Bayaraa, is the owner of Kids Toys Mongolia and was featured in the Mongolian news last year when Marineford Battle Castle was first revealed. A screenshot from the news was posted on Reddit, with Bayaara commenting, “We are so happy to have completed One Piece Marineford Castle in 6 months. About 2,000 kg with 1,000,000 lego bricks, 5,000 Lego Minifigures and 25 Big Lego Ships.”
Building the Marineford Summit Arc in One Piece required 1 million LEGO bricks and 5,000 minifigures
Commenters on the post praised Bayaara for her massive creation and called for an official LEGO and One Piece collaboration. Others speculated on how much a LEGO set of this size would cost, ranging from $10,000 to $150,000 after factoring in the official One Piece licensing fee. For context, the LEGO “The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell™” set, which includes 15 Minifigures and about 6,000 pieces, is currently available on Lego.com for $499. Assuming a similar ratio, a licensed LEGO One Piece set with 1,000,000 pieces and 5,000 Minifigures would cost about $116,650.
Previously, Bayaara also created a smaller model, with 60,000 pieces and 800 Minifigures, which he introduced on Facebook in 2018. This post shows that even in the smaller model, each figurine is extremely accurate and carefully selected to truly recreate the setting of the Marineford War in One Piece.
One Piece is currently available to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Crunchyroll, and Prime Video. The manga is published in English by VIZ Media.
