For those of us Americans who have no idea what a kilo is, in real measurements
that thing weighs 1984.16 lbs.

Almost one ton of LEGO.

:D

Actually, there's a 120-kilo aluminium* body to hold it together, but still that
means there's 780 kilos (1719.6 lbs) of plastic.

*In American, that's "aluminum," and 264.55 lbs of it.
