Oky Posted October 26, 2011 Another report of people finding a giant minifig washed up at the beach! http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/giant-lego-man-appears-florida-beach-214642517.html This is starting to get scary. The invasion of the minifigs has begun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Who does this? It looks very similar to the old one. I really want some more explanation! Maybe it is just an alien takeover Edited October 26, 2011 by prateek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudders Posted October 26, 2011 It doesn't seem connected to TLG or Merlin. I think it's been done by this website http://www.egoleonard.nl/opreis.html as he's got Ego Leonard on his back... Who knows why though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oky Posted October 26, 2011 Hm, thanks. That does clear things up a bit. Sounds to me like this is the work of some weird artist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocketbilly Posted October 26, 2011 Weird. This keeps happening! Very odd. Thanks for the link. I wonder if someone is deliberately doing this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyrmedhatt Posted October 26, 2011 This looks like the work of an artist to me, especially due to the weird message. Lego would never do a stunt like this, the littering problem aside, why would they be printing weird messages on the torsos of these guys. Now the real question is whether an AFOL is the one behind these "minifigures", as there are quite a few of us that are also artists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted October 26, 2011 The guy who found it will get to keep it in 90 days if it isn't claimed and he said he'd sell it on ebay. That'd be a hell of an auction to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't sell it, you don't get many of these do you? Now if someone IS doing this on purpose, I WILL kill them. Lego you must not mistreat them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindicare Posted October 27, 2011 Clearly this was done on purpose. I'm sure someone wasn't carrying this in their pocket at the beach and it simply fell out. Hasn't this happened other times? I know someone has an avatar of a group of people looking at one at a beach. That's been around for a while, too, ao it's nothing new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lorax Posted October 27, 2011 http://www.egoleonard.nl It seems to be a message about leaving the virtual world and recognising the beauty in the real world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hiawatha Posted October 27, 2011 Ah, thank you. I'm too lazy to look, do the others have the same message on it's torso? I think some of them say different things. I'm not exactly sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) His name is Ego Leonard.. Watch this website! It's in Dutch, but you will be able to translate it with Google translate: http://www.egoleonard.nl/index.html Edited October 27, 2011 by Robbie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IAmWillGibson Posted October 27, 2011 It is strange that I really want an Ego Leonard minifigure? With some stickers it shouldn't be that hard. Also one of those t-shirts he's selling on the website, although I can't decipher how to actually order it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandora Posted October 27, 2011 This interesting event was also brought up here, so don't be surprised if they merge sometime soon. It is quite a fun thing to do, I think, (the giant LEGO man on a beach, that is) and I think it would be a pleasant surprise to encounter one of these.

brickmack Posted October 30, 2011 Too bad I don't live by a beach, I'd love to find one if another is done. The guy who found it will get to keep it in 90 days if it isn't claimed and he said he'd sell it on ebay. That'd be a hell of an auction to win. Why's he have to wait 90 days? I figured the law for this would generally be "finders keepers". Or are the police/whoever making a special case since it's kinda uncommon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lasse D Posted November 1, 2011 I hope someone comes to claim it and gets fined for littering. Seriously. Stop repeating media stunts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just2good Posted November 24, 2011 Ya, I saw this report on my local news channel (I live in Florida). It was probably a shipment to Legoland Florida that fell out the cargo boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
