Oct 31 2008Giant LEGO Figure Appears On Beach

maxifig.jpg

A giant LEGO minifig maxifig washed up on the beach of Brighton, England a few days ago, and nobody knows where the hell he came from.

The Lego man is 6ft tall in red, yellow and green. It is presumed to have washed up on the beach, but whether it has come from a cargo ship or from across the Channel is not clear.


Brighton resident Gerry Turner, 34, said: "It's very odd. God knows how it got here but people are saying it's from Holland because it's got some Dutch writing on it. It must have fallen off a boat of something. The kids love it."

Fallen off a boat or something? How many boats do you know of with giant LEGO men manning the sails? Exactly, only a handful. No, I think there's a much more logical answer to this mystery. And that, my friends, is God.

COOL! FAKE! FIRST!

Frist!111111!!!!!!

Fail!!!!

again? or old news?

4OURTH!!!4!44!!44!four

dammit greg

good for marketing. fake.
unless women are 3 1/2 feet tall in England, there's no way that thing is 6ft.

Didn't this happen before?

FAKE!!!!

This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its fake, the shadows are all wrong.

It looks like the scene from the movie Never Back Down where Max and Baja dropped some acid and went to the beach, and Baja hallucinated that Max turned into a Lego man.

It's a trojan Lego man. Works every time.

It is odd that all the kids are almost the same height as the woman holding the baby.

i think he meant 16 feet tall. that thing is 46 feet tall. perhaps 106 feet tall or 66ft high.

i recognize that frame structure in the background. its at malibu beach. this is totally fake. ive already comfirmed this with fox news and i spoke to obama about it as well. everyone get inside your house right now and lock the doors and windows. and start photoshopping.

looks like a 8 ft lego man.

wouldnt they crate that shit? there's no way it came off a boat, fake news story or someone abandoned it on the beach.

red sauce on pasta

the picture looks faker than pam anderson's boobs.

@13, if anyone would know fake, it's Obama.

Reference: Obama infomercial.

@18. Shut up, dude.

@18, yeah seriously, shut it.

@14 No, it looks like a 6 ft. tall lego man...read the shit you shit.

..Halloween makes me grumpy.

....ween.

John Tittor predicted this was going to happen...

@16

Your posts: At worst they make absolutely no sense.. at best its some form of inside obsecure joke.

So basicallly.. WTH?

PS- Happy Halloween all!
*insert photoshop/NBD reference here*

Maybe a lego movie is coming out and this is a weird viral marketing strategy? Or maybe legos are actually aliens and this is the start of the invasion

FIRTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111111111!!!!!!!!!

And also, that chick is TINY!

@22
I don't get them either, but they are kind of charming.

@20
you bring the razor blade - I'll bring the speed

Maybe the people who made legoland are going to build another one like in England or Florida... like them Walt Disney biatchs.

TROJAN LEGOMAN!!!

No, Hektor, no!!!!! THEY'VE DONE IT BEFORE, THEY'RE DOING IT AGAIN!!!
Haven't you learned your lesson before? That thing is clearly a trap. Again, f*** you Trojans, you are all idiots.

Before you know it, there will be tiny little chinamen coming out of that lego figure.

I think its a conspiracy, my friends. China sent that crap to get Holland into war. I think it's pretty obvious that China is planning to attack the U.S.

Look China, if you can't figure out how to sell your tainted toys, don't freakin start a f***in war! F*** you and your f***in' ways. F***!

I have a fallout shelter underneath my backyard in case someone would wanna survive a nuclear apocalypse.

It's in 1390 Clearview Ave., Sheboygen Wisconsin.

Bring your porn magazines and dvds because you're gonna need a lot of jerking in times of desperate measures. Forget your wife/husband or girlfriend/boyfriend because there isn't enough space in my shelter. Come alone or get your companion killed, seriously. This is a serious matter, so don't even try to come if you're just fooling around.

If I had a nickel for every time this happened....

...I guess I would have one nickel.

First!!!!!!11

@20 i did read the article!!!! thats what it looks like on the picture you prick!
The lego man is leaning so he looks smaller but if he were standing up right he probly would be around 8ft tall Besides that i think this article is fake.
@18 what?????

i saw this ages ago. it was an art performance or something. i can't remember right. :\


ok... i searched a little more. here's the site... http://www.egoleonard.nl/index.html

This has got to be the awesomest thing i've ever read....ps...my mother always told me my father was colorful, albiet a bit stiff....

No I didn't.

WTF why did I hear of that here, I live in brighton (runs to the beach to look for free lego)

@32 - It's not 8ft, it's 6ft. Read the article! ..

heh, Happy ween!

ADVERTISING! F***tards. They've done this lots of times in the past.

haha :D seen this in the sun today :P

YOU MORONS. THIS THING ISN'T FROM THE DUTCH.
A GIANT LASER BEAM FROM OUTER SPACE HIT THE MINIFIGURE AND BY CHEMICAL REACTION IT GREW TO IT'S GIANT SIZE.
IMAGINE WHAT THEY CAN DO WITH OUR FOOD. AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE.

One thing I can't stand is intolerance of other cultures. The other is the Dutch.

This is for real - I live in Brighton and I seen it with me own eyes. The structure in the background is the old West Pier which was torched repeatedly a few years back. Have to say the perspective in the pic IS weird tho. The woman does look tiny compared to the kids.

First!

MONTAUK MONSTER!

The world is about to end. as the real daisy is gone and is not posting any more


*crys*

It's obviously a Trojan Horse of some kind... That thing is gonna bust open and out will spill about 1,00,000 nano-Legomen who will do unspeakable things to the citizens. Just like that time somebody left an 8-ft. inflatable clown on my porch, and I pulled it into the house (damn, that was heavy) and during the night it popped open and approximately 50 midget clowns rolled out. Freakin' creepy...

I dropped my super-enlargo ray in the ocean 2 years ago. Looks like Lego-man found it! Anyone got his # or facebook? I want it back.

I got a vibrator looks like that.
