 | | Lego Measurements?

| Hey all, I've been working on a lego tank, but I need to know how much space I have to work with. What is the standard lego measurement, and how long would 30 feet be? Thanks! Rob (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

| Hi Rob! Lots of debate on this one, mostly 'cuz minifigs are so disproportionate - they're quite wide for their height. Minifigs are 4 bricks + 1 plate tall, without neckwear. That's 4.16 cm.
