He even created a selfie scene with LEGO Minifigures, and one lucky LEGO Minifigure is even doing the iconic Leaning Tower of Dallas pose while they "hold up" the building.

While the Leaning Tower of Dallas may come down soon, the LEGO version will be displayed at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Dallas/Fort Worth through the rest of February.
