Assembling Lego on Shabbat

Question

Is it permissible to build a car out of Lego on Shabbat if one will not take it apart afterward?

Answer

Shalom u'vrachah 

Lego that is intended to be taken apart and reassembled is permitted only up to age 9–10. 

Lego that is intended to remain connected permanently [such as complex and expensive models] may not be assembled on Shabbat even by a young child.
