Man builds a living out of LEGO

I wouldn't even care to guess the cost for materials for one of his pieces, he must get a volume discount from lego.

I hope he only uses the standard bricks. All those specialized, only good for one project pieces, kind of defeat the purpose of LEGO.

Doesn't gluing the sculptures together kind of defeat the purpose also?

Not really -The purpose to these is a permanent piece of art... no need for it to come apart easily.

Also, if it's touring in museums and such, I'd imagine people would try to take a piece or two home.

How cool would it be to have a LEGO CN Tower?

LEGO was a huge source of entertainment for me in my younger years... I built all sorts of things, from houses to planes to rockets, etc. Good fun!

Impressive.

I still love LEGO!

aaahhhh LEGO

I used to play with it for hours when I was a kid.....it's what inspired me to go on to do industrial design. In fact I remember doing a poll of the people on my course and every single one of them used to be obsessed about LEGO as a kid.

And yeah, I hate those newer kits that has specific pieces for each kit.....the imagination is lost on those.

I am eagerly awaiting my son to be old enough to get into LEGO too.....we'll be fighting over the pieces!

There is a lifesize Darth Vader made of Lego at our Toys-R-Us at St.Laurent Shopping Centre. Very cool.
