I think Michael Jackson is hiding in that thing, it's his new method to get children to touch him.

"The Dutch, a wooden-footed peace-loving people, were easily duped by the docile expression and poorly phrased t-shirt of the creature, and fell easily under it's evil intentions. Within a month of the creature's appearance, the entire country of the Netherlands vanished, and the Dutch were never heard from again."

lol

 

[WTFimVENOM]

It's some kind of marketing campaign, it's gotta be.
It would have been cool if the Lego man was dressed up like Batman or Boba Fett.

If it was a Fett lego I would have stole it by now t:

Giant Lego man found in Dutch sea
Wed Aug 8, 10:23 AM ET

A giant, smiling Lego man was fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort on Tuesday.Workers at a drinks stall rescued the 2.5-meter (8-foot) tall model with a yellow head and blue torso.

"We saw something bobbing about in the sea and we decided to take it out of the water," said a stall worker. "It was a life-sized Lego toy."
A woman nearby added: "I saw the Lego toy floating toward the beach from the direction of England."

The toy was later placed in front of the drinks stall.

LMAO!

Just when you think you've heard about everything...

 

[redmarvel]

When I first read this, I thought for sure someone was putting us on...

Then I did a Google search... Reuters and ABC both have the story... the EXACT SAME story...

very strange...

Was he stolen?
Was he lost?
Was he deliberately dumped?

I hope some news agency out there follows up this story.

It might be an X-Files episode if the show weren't extinct.

if true, this is facking awesome! I would have died if i'd have discovered it....LEGO's rule!

 

[Jack Rabbit]

I really want to know how it ****ing got there.

 

[Majik1387]

Something tells me it didn't make the import/export travel to Legoland.

 

[chaseter]

It's a viral marketing scheme for something.

 

[mrsparkle]

I think Legoland just ****ed up the t-shirt so they thew it away and it ended up in the sea.

 

[Philly Phanboy]

That thing is huge!

Plus anothe rpic

[DV8]

$20 bucks says this lego man is actually a shark trying to invade the land trojan horse stylies . . .

 

[Showtime]

That kid has lego envy.

 

[DV8]

this thing is evil . . . how the fuack did it get there?!? and how many factories could be responsible for actually making one of these . . . I mean, there can't be too many

and look at that first pic, it looks like he's up to something . . . he's got the furrowed eyebrows like the Staypuff Marshmellow Man :scared for childrens' lives:

It's probably the same story because Reuters is a wire service, like the Associated Press.

And it has to be viral marketing. It wouldn't have that poorly translated English on it if was something Lego had been transporting and lost or whatever.

And seriously, I hate this viral marketing "I love bees" bull****. It's cool if they have some Alternate Reality Game that actually relates to your product, like that thing they did at Comic Con for the Dark Knight. But with things like Cloverfield or whatever (which this probably is) they're duping people into promoting something they know nothing about.

Oh, and the fact this exists isn't that big a deal. They have them at places like Legoland and FAO Schwartz and the big Lego Store in Disney World, dozens of them exist already. I'm sure you could just buy one from Lego for enough money.

 

[kainedamo]

Its not a big deal, but its very strange.

Think about it. Think about the sheer odds of it ending up on a beach like that. Its also VERY mysterious.

I mean, for one thing, the thing must be able to float, and floated the whole way to the Netherlands from wherever it originated from.

"No real than you are", what the **** is that supposed to mean? Thinking about that line has me laughing like a loon.

I think the story is very cool.

 

[Leto Atrides]

Its not a big deal, but its very strange.

I just meant the people who were saying things like "There can't be that many factories that make these" and "Where could a giant Lego man have even come from?" It definitely is weird, but the fact that giant Lego minifigs exist in the first place isn't really a part of the mystery.

 

[Ghostvirus]

This story is giving me tourettes. I will just be sitting on the bus. Thinking about what I need to do, & suddenly I start wondering how a giant f-ing lego man ends up the in the netherlands!

Please someone answer me this!
