    I am truly jealous of this guy!

    Was not quite sure if somebody had already posted this before in here but I wish I thought of doing this instead of sitting in an office all day staring at numbers in my monitor.

    Kind regards,

    Truly amazing. I have seen the stuff at Disney World. This work, or should I say art, is exponentially better and more creative. Lego's are post my childhood, but my kids and now grandkids are big fans. The 3 year old is forever "building" and I'm impressed. I need to send this link to his Mom (my Daughter). Future career?

      we hired that guy to be in our booth at the Offshore technology Conference last year... he spent a Mon-Wed building a large offshore platform in Legos and we had a promotion to guess how many bricks went into it.

        I am amazed at my 7yr old grandson and his building of Lego Starwars stuff. He currently working on a 1500 piece thing. he s learning to follow drawn directions and does well.

          I've seen kids spend hours on those things, and watched as their minds switched on. Really amazing, and yet so fundamental. I cut my teeth on Tinkertoys, Lincoln Logs and an Erector set of biblical proportions.

            I LOVE Legos. My 7 yo son does, too. He gets mad when I won't let him play with my sets. That guy has a serious investment in toys. Those things aren't cheap.

            I like that he does things with the "old fashioned" bricks--before they came out with all sorts of specialized pieces.

              I love Lego too.

              Although, my image of Lego is much different than my kids' image.

              For me, it was a creative tool - I could make whatever I wanted.

              For my kids, they are analogous to the models I put together when we were kids, without all the model glue and paints.

              I have been trying to encourage them to build their own things, but as someone else pointed out, it is hard as many of the pieces are just so specialized, it is hard to make anything else out of them.
