Lego House Gets Destroyed

Total sadness. It finally happened and James May's beautiful Lego House met its destiny. It has been destroyed.

James' full scale Lego House was built at the Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, Surrey, for the BBC program Toy Stories. Someone just asked me why it was destroyed. Well, because I didn't have the $81,000 needed to dismantle it and rebuild it in another location, that's why. LINK, [Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail]
