Beijing 2008 In Lego

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that's-a-lotta-bricks dept.

jedie noted an impressive rendering of the Beijing Olympics in Lego. Featuring 300,000 bricks, and 4,500 Lego people, it was built by the Hong Kong Lego User Group. Yes that exists. Amazing. I'm pretty sure that the lighting inside the water cube was not made using stock legos. At least, none in my giant cardboard box.

    You mean I have to choose between American imperialism and repressive Chinese human rights abuses? Can't I say they're both wrong?
