That brick is made from 14-carat gold, though, and between 1979-81 was given out to employees who had worked at the LEGO company for 25 years.
So it's not only made out of gold, it's incredibly rare too, and is bordering on being an antique.
No wonder it's priced at $14,450. Still, if this makes any difference, it's to scale, so it'll work with normal bricks.
Wow! That is a great incentive for working for Lego. I agree these should be given to people who are dedicated Lego fans, like the people who make videos using Lego. If they get over a few million hits.
