Oct 21 2009Holy Amazing: POP-UP Book LEGO Scene
This is a LEGO scene constructed in the form of a pop-up book. It's absolutely amazing and has a giant pagoda that folds together in the middle. I couldn't even imagine building something so impressive so I'm just going to hang my head in shame and cry into this pile of DUPLO blocks. Yes, DUPLO -- I'm not allowed to play with LEGO. IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO CHOKE ON THEM THEN WHY DO YOU MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE CANDY?!
Thanks to david and Lee, who once popped out of a pop-up book at a birthday party and scared a bunch of children.

Yes, good thing that pagoda folds up because he obviously brings it everywhere!
It is a huge hit with the ladies in the bar... "Excuse me while I whip this out."

There was TOTALLY a lego out of place on the base of the pagoda at 1:50
ok, maybe not.
damn that's cool

@7 perhaps GW meant to say 'one' as in when someone explains something in numerical order - only he didn't give us a 'two' because he wants to leave that conclusion to you..... or perhaps me missed a c in the word afterall, I know
Keep popping your snidely, arrogant cock-shaped head in here everytime you catch a type-o though

That is sick impressive to the power of rad. Seriously, good work!
Wish I could read the text at the end of the video. Any translators?
14. naas - October 21, 2009 1:11 PM
it's fixed @7, you can be happy & go find something else that out of place now

16. henree - October 21, 2009 1:28 PM

17. The Great Meseum Caper - October 21, 2009 1:32 PM
@13
as in pop-up "golden corner temple" made in Japan.
18. naas - October 21, 2009 1:34 PM
@13 actually I'm lying, the title page says pop-up kinkaku-ji (kinkaku-ji is in yellow) - I have no idea wtf the last part says
19. ubflamed - October 21, 2009 1:46 PM
It comes with George Bush vomit.
20. The Great Meseum Caper - October 21, 2009 2:00 PM
@13 and naas - oh my bad, you were asking the end part.
It's basically "thank you for watching"
- Never will I eat coco krispies and type in the same time, again. -

the problem you have is that, as an adult, it's easier to choke on a duplo block. while a regular sized one will fall right down your throat, and duplo sized piece will get lodged there.
remember to chew.
22. naas - October 21, 2009 3:09 PM
@20 do you know what it says in hiragana characters? I can only make out the 2nd part 'gatougozai mashita' which doesn't make sense in english
23. The Great Meseum Caper - October 21, 2009 3:38 PM
@22 "saiko mada bla bla bla"
My Jap is a rotty now... but i quite certain that means "thus the end of presentation" in a very formal way.

Dear god, I was holding my breath the whole time cause I was completely expecting it to just fall apart.
25. RK - October 21, 2009 6:47 PM
wow. great job on the lego pop-up book. the music sucks bad tho.
26. Phoenix - October 21, 2009 7:51 PM
It's not just 'a giant pagoda', it's KINKAKU-JI!
http://www.google.com/search?q=kinkaku-ji
AKA, the Golden Pavilion, or Golden Temple. It's a real place in Kyoto. It's one of the most famous temples in all of Japan.
Why does that matter? Because it makes it (imo) even MORE impressive, because of the amount of details they matched.

That's cute, if I had the time and enough legos I would make one with robuts that shoot out ping-pong balls. ohho hoho.....yess.
