“We kind of looked around downtown — the Philtower, the BOK Center, all the great buildings downtown. Cain’s Ballroom,” Gould said. “So the idea is to build a lot of these iconic structures and then have people enjoy it, both locally and from other places.”

Also discussed was a 6-foot-tall Tulsa Driller that, for instance, could be housed at ONEOK Field. “We would also like to build the stadium itself,” Gould said.

Lego-nomics say these proposed creations can’t be crafted cheaply. The bricks that Gould used for Mystic Castle average about 20 cents each. Multiply that times 30,000 pieces and that’s how he arrived at his $6,000 estimate for the project (not counting the fog machine, LED lighting and a medieval “soundtrack”).

“When we put out our proposals, we do our best to talk up front about the price because there is just enormous sticker shock,” he said.

“And then you’ve got 200 hours into it and a Lego artist is trying to make about $30 an hour is what we all try to shoot for. So then you do the math and all of a sudden you’ve got about a $12,000 piece of art.”
