Any kid's dream...to have that many Legos...and any parent's nightmare. Very creative, however.

lot of work and lego's in that, I've watched that lego guy make stuff, he
was on the Rachael Ray show not to long ago and did a full size replica of
Rachael on the show. He started out doing stuff as a hobby and Lego was
so impressed that they put him on the payroll.

Whoever created it is very talented....and must have been a very good boy about picking up his legos when he was finished playing with them! I stepped on a few too many of those suckers when my boys were little and it hurts! After that if they were left laying around they ended up being sucked up into the good old Electrolux tank....the legos....not the kids. One year I gave all the family fair notice if anyone gave the kids more legos for Christmas the giver would be shot at sunrise on the 26th.
My mind works like lightning...one brilliant flash and it's gone.

I like the part that someone took a hobby and a passion and made a career out of it! :lol: we should all be so lucky.

That is so cool. At Disney world they had some very very large dinosaurs made out of legos and some other critters and I wanted to know how to apply for the job of lego builder.
