I picked them up at a garage sale a few years ago. What was told that they
might have been from a Toys R Us promotion about a decade ago. I thought I
would share them with the rest of the community.

Enjoy.
Hi John,
Similar items have been used by TRU in their displays over the years.  I
can't confirm that's where they came from but that would seem a likely
possibility.  Sometimes you see things like that on ebay!  I don't think
I've seen any lately that have been as large as the ones you have.  As for
the largest brick, I think there was one that was used as a promotion at
some Lego store that was something like 8 feet in length and 4 feet in
height!  It was displayed in the mall outside of the store.  A picture of it
was available at one time, but I couldn't find a link to it.  It was the
largest brick I was ever aware of.
It's great that you found the large bricks in a garage sale.  I would love
to find something like that sometime.  I imagine that they would be quite
desirable to a lot of AFOL!  I think I would display them in my house as
furniture if I owned them. haha  It looks like you could use them as seats
although they wouldn't be too comfortable!
Thanks for sharing them with us...
Tom

Not sure if these are the ones Tom is refering to, but these are the giant bricks outside of the LEGO Outlet in Dawsonville Georgia (...) (22 years ago, 5-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
