LEGO, the Denmark-based company known for manufacturing toy sets consisting of interlocking plastic bricks, has announced the release of one of their largest ever kits — a 5,923-piece Creator Export kit of the Taj Mahal, according to reports.
This build is an update of what was once the largest-ever set produced by LEGO, which was launched in 2008 but was later discontinued in 2010, ArchDaily.comreported. The re-release of the set will contain one piece more than its predecessor, the report said.

The Taj Mahal kit, which has been designed for "advanced builders", will be available in the market starting 27 November, 2017, the report added.
LEGO, announcing the release of this kit on 30 October, released the following video as a teaser to the product.
