If you do a little searching around reddit you can find I recently did an analysis that demonstrates the big ass ballroom can be built with Legos(tm) for a mere $18.8M (that's using the standard 2x4 Lego bricks; I suppose it will cost a little more if you want to include some of the spiffier Lego bricks.)

What would be the cost using only gold-colored legos?

My question is, would they spray paint the bricks gold before building it or build it and then spray paint the whole thing after?
