Jadey, on 05/20/2008, -1/+72$25,000 for THAT?
- Stepoo, on 05/20/2008, -0/+4I'd give him $25.
  
  For $25,000 he'd have to eat the instructions, then build the car blindfolded with his hands behind his back, preferably in a room full of vipers.
- inigomntoya, on 05/20/2008, -0/+9Definitely not worth $25K - now if he had taken a sealed bag of random LEGO parts and created something noteworthy without using instructions - THAT might be worth a few hundred dollars.
  
  I am willing to bet that anyone here on Digg could have done this with enough time on their hands...
- unreg, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1That was misleading: In the bag =! drunk in this case.
- danger127, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1Anyone can do that in a clear bag. I thought he mean't in a like a black bag or sonething that he can't see the peices in, and did it by feel.
maxthreepwood, on 05/20/2008, -0/+6Good for him, is all I can say.
terryhuang, on 05/20/2008, -6/+37thumbnail is a more awesome video:

- themastersb, on 05/20/2008, -0/+5Someone should roll that around pretending to play Katamari.
- ell0bo, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1and front page yesterday...
soccerman90, on 05/20/2008, -1/+3i guess thats pretty cool. It kind of fails because we dont know how long it took him to do that. still impressive i guess
- plopper, on 05/20/2008, -5/+3You fail for not capitalizing your I's.
  - soccerman90, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1you fail for giving a ***** on the internet
    - plopper, on 05/25/2008, -0/+1You fail for being a 90 year old soccer fan.
rollerboy, on 05/20/2008, -0/+15:( I want some Legos. I missed out on them during during my younger years, I'm just 18 not too late right?
- atomsky, on 05/20/2008, -13/+10IT'S LEGO NOT LEGOS
  - Shootfast, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1oooh, this is a controversial topic :) +10/-12
    I agree with you though
- Disease, on 05/20/2008, -0/+22It's never too late to play with LEGO.
- ciano, on 05/20/2008, -0/+7NITPICKNITPICKNITPICK Go ahead and buy some. LEGO is putting out some of the best product in 2008 that they've put out for a long time.
- plopper, on 05/20/2008, -2/+2Why don't you roll your way towards a discotheque?!
- nyx210, on 05/20/2008, -1/+3Don't ask, don't tell.
- applemachome, on 05/20/2008, -1/+3take a trip to legoland. That place is awesome.
- legoalert33, on 05/20/2008, -1/+9You're never to old for LEGOs.
  (I prefer LEGOs so it doesn't sound like I'm hopelessly playing with one brick.)
  - carterbaldwin, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2classic-space.com
    
    or classic-castle.com, if that's the way you swing.
- f54280, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1This is what kids are for (mine are buried under 30 000+ pieces of LEGO -- and fortunately, they love that)
  
  Unfortunately, quality of LEGO pieces went down the drain in the last 2/3 years, to the point that I am sad of mixing my old trusted bricks with the crap they sell theses days...
SonnyJoeFoxx, on 05/20/2008, -2/+16Why wouldn't you just use telekinesis?
- flashback99, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1because people would laugh at your stupidity.
The2ndAct, on 05/20/2008, -1/+8That's the greatest thing I've ever seen. I've lead a sad, sad life.
- Salmar, on 05/20/2008, -0/+3Maybe it was lead that led you there.
mooseofshadows, on 05/20/2008, -0/+43Even if he doesn't win, he should sell those. It's like a nerdy ship-in-a-bottle, in a way.
- ravage86, on 05/20/2008, -0/+6Because a ship in a bottle isn't nerdy?
candyman4x, on 05/20/2008, -1/+3Telekinesis its in a clear plastic bag!
deathbyspatula, on 05/20/2008, -0/+4Make him wear a blindfold while doing that, then it'll be worth $25,000
80hd, on 05/20/2008, -0/+26divide and conquer those little bitches.
No seriously some real patience would be in assembling a millennium falcon that had been dumped inside a sealed off black trash bag.
THAT would be worth 25 grand.
- Furkle, on 05/20/2008, -0/+3I'd want a hell of a lot more than 25 grand for doing that, I mean seeing as it's impossible and all.
agilbe10, on 05/20/2008, -1/+13If I were him I would go return it. Think about opening the box and the model is already built, I'd be pissed
- plopper, on 05/20/2008, -3/+2Don't be silly.
- Black6x, on 05/20/2008, -0/+7No, give a bunch of these to your children or nephews for Christmas. Tel them it must have been a mistake at the factory.
parallax7d, on 05/20/2008, -0/+23Wow, he made a small lego car inside a thin, clear plastic bag. How lame. I was imagining a large lego dinosaur or jet model made inside a large, thick burlap sack, now that would take some skill.
ligyron, on 05/20/2008, -1/+23Sorry, I still prefer using telekinesis
- plopper, on 05/20/2008, -9/+1And I prefer to dig you down.
ahalbert, on 05/20/2008, -0/+6You guys are crazy he gets to enjoy his lego's while maintaining their value..... hes my hero
- sapo916, on 05/20/2008, -1/+2Their value, what does it cost. $10?
Sambora, on 05/20/2008, -1/+1I'll never get that 1:25 of my life again. Thank you internet.
- 80hd, on 05/20/2008, -0/+21:25 is all you've wasted here?
  I envy you :(
plopper, on 05/20/2008, -6/+1Edited... Forget it!
topetoro, on 05/20/2008, -2/+0nice!
Chronoped, on 05/20/2008, -9/+3He would've used telekinesis, but he tried it, and the ***** thing sucks.

***** IT WE'LL DO IT IN THE BAG

can I has intertron points?
- Alix7, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1Shoulda done it live
Disease, on 05/20/2008, -0/+22I've done this before just out of boredom. I wish I knew someone would be willing to pay me $25,000 to do it on video.
darkskie, on 05/20/2008, -1/+2lol thats hella easy. i can do that faster i bet. good vid though, not really much of a skill
teambosun, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2Man. I could use that $25k
ligyron, on 05/20/2008, -1/+2Digg should have competitions
mentor972, on 05/20/2008, -0/+7Hopefully the $25,000 will help him lose his virginity.
- Cglass, on 05/20/2008, -0/+4He did have a wedding ring on =
- flashback99, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1Yeah, because being interested in something must mean that you've never had sex, right? No.
leerayIG88, on 05/20/2008, -3/+3Once I had sex with Five different fat women for $5,000 each. Surprisingly it was easy as swimming in vanilla pudding.
Crossmenjeff, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2you know its more challenging to do it missing pieces because the bag opened too quickly and threw them everywhere
grumpyrain, on 05/20/2008, -3/+4Fake. The reflections are all wrong.
- 15thPD, on 05/20/2008, -1/+1Agreed. I can tell by the pixels.
DeFex, on 05/20/2008, -0/+18anyone who can operate their hands should be able to do that.
rileyhallwood, on 05/20/2008, -8/+2lego's for pussies, vote for 'lapk's submission
http://youtube.com/watch?v=0bXQPqk2OxA
baldboy7, on 05/20/2008, -1/+5i bet he is one of the few people who get laid less often than diggers
- Black6x, on 05/20/2008, -1/+2He had a wedding ring on.
  - Jektal, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2Exactly.
vexingmodstwo, on 05/20/2008, -1/+4Loser used the instructions.
TomGfromCanada, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2cool. but why?
IamCitiznInsane, on 05/20/2008, -3/+1EASY. Wait.... WithOUT using telekenesis...wtf
LoveYouSomeEric, on 05/20/2008, -0/+4maybe I'm underestimating how hard it is to assemble a Lego car, but I am pretty certain that anyone could do that, bag or not.
lupka, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2i'm pretty sure i could do that. never would have thought of it though.
Zephik, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2For some reason I was expecting the bag to be... idk... not clear? I was also expecting no use of directions, it just made the video even more lame because he did use them. Any person with half a brain, at least one eyeball and two hands could of done what he did.

Now, if it was inside a solid colored bag and wasn't a "ready to assemble" kit, that would of been impressive. I would even accept a "ready to assemble" kit inside a solid colored bag, so long as he didn't use the instructions. oh what the hell, just put the parts in a solid colored bag, that alone would of been much more difficult and thus more impressive than inside a clear bag with as much time as he needed.
RyukShinigami, on 05/20/2008, -0/+4I'm beginning to think this is some sort of lego inc viral marketing scheme.
nutniqs, on 05/20/2008, -1/+1Thats my friend Peter Gronquist as Indiana Jones
- mdeppi01, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1Ohhhh girl.. I don't caaaare, girl. Unsolicited informaaaation is completely unimpreeesive, girl.
  
  The song in my mind sounded really cool. Doesn't translate to type.
scozzie, on 05/20/2008, -1/+1ummm...am I missing something? is that all he can do?
Sure it's original...but that's all it is...there's nothing difficult or impressive with what he does....
scarystuff, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2I would digg it if he DID use telekinesis...
permafrost91, on 05/20/2008, -1/+0That is by far the dumbest Lego skill I have ever seen in my entire life ... in fact, it's not even a skill.
BuddyChrist, on 05/20/2008, -0/+3dude... you're allowed to open the bag.
sab0tage, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2He should return it to the store like that and ruin some kid's day.
bentrinh, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Now... let me see him do it without opening the box. THEN I'll be impressed.
oohgodyeah, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Dude that's not a skill at all. The bag is clear plastic so he can see the pieces and follow the assembly instructions. How do you know he didn't just practice ahead of time?

Dugg because LEGOS rule, but this skill is lame.
pollyannaj, on 06/15/2008, -0/+0wow. gotta get this guy on america's got talent. i could watch him all day. he could win a million instead and his own show in vegas. the show starts up again on june 17th. maybe they will have someone this cool.
