Lego Addictions

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the time-on-my-hands-dust-on-my-feet dept.

randomErr writes "Canada.com has an article about Frank Robinson, an man who is into Lego WAY more than the average builder. Frank said "I still get Lego for my birthday and at Christmas, too. So do my kids." At last count the Robinson family's Lego inventory was nearing 100,000 pieces, a majority of which were tallied and itemized by type and colour on a computer spreadsheet." No Lego story would be complete without a link to something large and useless, say, a Lego harpsichord. Okay, it plays, so it's not actually useless. But the Lego Star Destroyer is.

    640 pieces should be enough for anyone...

    All of this fuss and bother is the nuts and bolts of Robinson's raison d'Lego -- designing and building intricate scale models, right down to a Lego man at a Lego urinal, or a Lego toilet paper dispenser in a Lego toilet stall.

    Lego toilet paper ?!?!? That's gotta hurt ...

    Try here here. This guy does Lego construction for a living. A LIVING! I'd build Legos for a living to if it weren't for my lack of opposable thumbs...Oh, well, back to engineering.
