I think we may have overshot a chance for elves with the passing of the Fantasy Castle line. IF anything LEGO would probably do a historic park like Central Park if they were going to do one at all. It would be a nice take off from their usual Star Wars or monuments designs.

Wow, that would be really awesome. Its not terribly big. They could probably do it in minifigure scale.

I could see them doing some large-scale sculptures like Rodin's "The Thinker", Michelangelo's "David", or "O Cristo Redentor", the sculpture of Jesus that overlooks Rio de Janeiro.

The only reason I could see them not doing this is that LEGO doesn't like to go with the same exact color over and over again when building one of their huge sculptures. All three of those are all in the same color, well material.

Two other problems: 'The Thinker' and 'David' are naked. I would love to have a 'Thinker' sculpture but LEGO just wouldn't do it because they are a toy company and it just wouldn't seem right to them. They wouldn't do 'O Cristo Redentor' because it's a religious icon.
