To entertain myself, I gave this some thought before I clicked. I assumed exactly what the title says: which 4 lego pieces create the tallest structure that stands on it's own.

Well, we need the biggest bricks we can find, my mind went to the ship hulls: https://www.ebay.com/p/?iid=282223262072&&&dispItem=1&chn=ps

So how can we connect 2 of these together, and make it stand vertical? Or can we?

It might be that we need the 3 pieces to make the brick stand... I'm not sure.

And then I clicked on the article...

(I'm not sure if I've even found the largest brick, or if I've found a 3 brick component; how do we define "brick"? Why do I care? Please comment and subscribe, it really helps ;)

I need to add, I clicked on the article, and totally enjoyed the content. (With a small caveat, noted above.)

Envy, I think that's the word for the weird vitriol in this thread.

You could do a tall 1x1 block on the Stern and then attach something as a base, and then an arch attached to the bow (https://www.toysperiod.com/img/cache/67/800x600/d4e4o5g414l4...)

Or three arches, two at the Stern for a base.
