History Summarized: The Colosseum (In LEGO!)

We'd like to thank our friends at LEGO for giving us this magnificent excuse to gush over some of the most beautiful architecture in history. This type of architectural-deep-dive is a little bit out of the ordinary for us, but it was lots of fun, so please do let us know if you found it interesting, as we'd be thrilled to do more!

Our content is intended for teenage audiences and up.

“I am electing to ignore that question”

I’m sorry Blue but that’s going to be stolen... by me! Mwahahaha

[wargriffin]

Blue: "Wanna help us build the Colosseum buddy?"

Cat: "I'm electing to ignore that question."

They got a lego sponsorship. Absolutely epic.

Jeez, I knew about the occasional naval battle, but never did I realize all that stuff at the the bottom was for raising things up out of the ground, what kind of technologically advanced pageantry is this?

Still gonna need a few words with you about my boy Nero

[Minihood]

Actual Lego sponsorship.

That's pretty cool.

When Cleocatra inevitably takes a nap in it you could say it has become the... Cleoseum.

Emperor Blue: "RELEASE THE BEASTS!"
*Cleo enters frame*

[michaelscott]

*Blue:* "Wow, this LEGO Coliseum is incredible!"
*Cat:* "Hooman got me a new litter box...I don't like it."

Nobody:

The romans: “it’s not cool enough let’s make it into a giant swimming pool”

Also the romans: “it’s not cool enough let’s make a labyrinth beneath it”

[chaosof]

"Why not a giant Lego model of the Sphinx?!" - the cat, probably.

[eh]

cleo is gonna ruin it. i just know it
edit: pushing it off the shelf

[nickbenton]

Can’t wait for the Cleozilla movie where she wrecks Renaissance Rome

[guardianbravo]

When I saw “in lego” in the title, my day instantly became better

[lukewishmier]

Seeing Red and Blue in the same video always feels like a in-universe crossover episode, and I love it.

Also, congrats on the epic sponsorship.

[mera-mori]

You know you’ve made it when your sponsor is _literally_ Lego-

Also the Lego does look awesome- good job

[Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

Major Congrats! Being sponsored by Lego is a HUGE achievement! Take it from me, I'm an expert in Lego considering I've personally been turned into a minifig several times! Plastic does wonders for my beard!

[HexQuesTT]

Can't wait for Cleo try and sleep in it and/or knock it off wherever Blue keeps it

[femoman]

Fun fact: this set isn't just huge, in terms of piece-count, it is the largest Lego set ever released!

[zachborgan]

Me: *sees Cleo.*
Also me: “THE CAMEO!”
