Big Cam Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Does anyone know who did this MOC? I assume it's a MOC, but the box looks so real. Quote
ChefAgf Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) I saw it on a blog somewhere. Wasn't it a set created by someone to ask his girlfriend to marry him during a picknick?? ill check for you: here it is! Edited March 1, 2010 by ChefAgf Quote
Big Cam Posted March 1, 2010 Author Posted March 1, 2010 Wow, that is really sweet. Thanks for the link, I simply am stunned by the quality of the box. That guy worked hard for his proposal. Quote
vexorian Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) It really does not look so real. I mean, the legoland logo is in use yet the figs are not yellow and do not have those suspiciously happy faces? :) Anyway, cute story. Edited March 1, 2010 by vexorian Quote
avoidz Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Great LEGO story, very romantic, and nice photos too! She's gorgeous Quote
funkybrick Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Wow, that's a really nice story! And it freaks me out how realistic these boxes are! That guy's really got talent Quote
Zorro Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Yes, this is very cute indeed. A real AFOL way to ask someone to marry you . Quote
Sandy Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Oh my gawd, that's so romantic! He must've gone through tons of trouble to make those unique sets, and it's awesome that the woman in question is someone who can appreciate that. A beautiful story of LEGO bringing two people together. Aww.... Quote
Rick Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Oh my gawd, that's so romantic! I saw this quite some time ago and I must admit... He must've gone through tons of trouble to make those unique sets, and it's awesome that the woman in question is someone who can appreciate that. Yeah, he even sealed the plastic bags inside. And the box art is really excellently done. Now someone get Sandy some custom Lego sets (don't look at me, I'm happily married). Quote
prateek Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 That is a cool box! Although it is an old Legoland box with fleshies, it looks real. nice find Quote
RileyC Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Wow that box is sure impressive! Thats a really great find Cam Quote
Piranha Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Such a cool find and such a sweet story behind it The box is amazing work, my first thought was MOC for sure because that didn't look like LEGO's building style Quote
MrTools Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Vey nice he indeed did a very good job on the box, im surprised he got the parts in the bags too! And a very nice story with it Quote
Fumoffu Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Very rommantic story and great find. People do go through a lot of effort for their proposal. We seen some pretty good box arts & MOC on EB too so its definitely possible. Quote
Holodoc Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Very nice find indeed, BigCam! ... and one of the most heart-touching background stories I've ever read. At least what Lego is concerned. Some points to figure out it cannot be an official set, even when not reading the link provided above: - there's no further writing on the box' front side (no price, no details and so on) - the minifig's heads and hands are flesh. Only licensed themes' minifigs come in flesh. - the badge "Legoland" is an old one (the creator says "80's"), but the heads are new. EDIT: Did you see this? I wondered how he did it. Very precise work! Quote
Rick Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) ... and the 11th anniversary set. (not from the same couple, it seems) Edited March 2, 2010 by Rick Quote
Holodoc Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 ... and the 11th anniversary set. (not from the same couple, it seems) Nice set number. Sweet sets - I have to copy one or two ideas of those. Quote
Omicron Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 - there's no further writing on the box' front side (no price, no details and so on)- the minifig's heads and hands are flesh. Only licensed themes' minifigs come in flesh. - the badge "Legoland" is an old one (the creator says "80's"), but the heads are new. I would have thought that the big clue would be the guy's hair. It is custom made by Arealight and is not official Lego. -Omi Quote
JayDuck Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I saw this a while ago on The Brothers Brick, but it's still awesome. All I did when I proposed was to take my wife back to the place we met. I feel so uncreative in comparison to that guy. Then again, if I start now, I've got two and a half years to whip up something for our tenth anniversary. Quote
Big Cam Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 I would have thought that the big clue would be the guy's hair. It is custom made by Arealight and is not official Lego.-Omi At first glance I thought Prince of Persia, not sure why. I'm definetaly not embarrased to say I don't know of every LEGO hairpiece ever made. Quote
