The Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory in Louisville, Ky. recently opened its 'Big Leagues, Little Bricks' exhibition. The installation features the work of several artists who have built LEGO replicas
What could be better than working at Legoland? Pulling a Lego prank on your boss, of course.
Employees at Legoland California built a full-sized replica of general manager Peter Rochetti’s car out of the colorful blocks. Made out of 201,076 Lego pieces and weighing in at 2,934 pounds, the copy is an almost identical likeness to Rochetti’s Volvo XC60. Watch the caper (and the big cheese’s reaction) below:
Using only Legos and rubber bands, Jack Streat was able to build a fully-functional replica of a Heckler & Koch UMP 45 sub machine gun.
This is far from the only time Streat has fashioned a potentially dangerous thing out of Legos; he was able to build a working chainsaw out of the construction toys, and has a Youtube channel full of videos of other Lego weapons he has assembled.
The video for the UMP 45 is below. A Lego gun doesn't quite shoot with the same velocity or distance as a real gun, but if the TSA bans Legos from flights, you know who to blame.
