Even Legoland wouldn't take the full-size, two-story home made entirely of toy bricks.
Rest in peace, Lego house.
The two stories of every boy's dream will have to simply remain in our dreams after it was recently demolished despite desperate attempts to save it.
Apparently, growing grapes for the Denbies Wine Estate in England, where the Lego house was built for the BBC show "Toy Stories," took precedence over the fully functioning house made entirely of Legos.
The show's presenter, James May, vowed to live in the house, which 1,000 volunteers helped him build with 3.2 million Lego bricks. But then the estate asked for its land back. And nobody would take the Lego house, even at its low price of free.
However, as we noted earlier, the house is made entirely of Legos, which meant it would have to be dismantled and put back together again -- apparently at a cost of $80,000, according to the BBC.
But it sounds like at least the 3.2 million Legos won't go to waste. A recent post for the "Top Gear" blog, another BBC show on which May is a presenter, says nearby Legoland will at least take the bricks for an annual building event, with all the proceeds going toward Lego's charity, The National Autistic Society.
