Sorry you're right, it's not cranes and they aren't holding it up just keeping it steady. But my tower didn't need that, I built it strong enough it could atand of it's own accord.

Only to the ceiling, mind you. I don't have enough lego to go up 36 metres.

Theirs is strong enough to stand it’s just not stable enough to.

Weird distinction. I could pile concrete blocks 5 miles up. They are strong enough, just not stable enough. So, this would be the tallest supported lego structure.

If you stacked them into a five mile high pyramid they’d be strong enough and stable enough too.
