Posted April 25, 200915 yr Seriously, check out! I think this is the right place, sorry if not. Doesn't that look fun? I think it's fake, but still... jifel Edited April 25, 200915 yr by jifel
April 25, 200915 yr No I do believe that's real. I was hoping it would be one solid color, such as gray. (Death Star baby!)
April 25, 200915 yr Haha that does look like fun! I wonder why it didn't break up though, is it glue or is it a solid piece painted to look like Lego? Thanks for sharing!
April 25, 200915 yr I'm interested to see the Mythbusters video but Mythbusters made there's out of Lego and the guys in the video took baseplates put plates on them and glued them to a big styrofoam ball.
April 25, 200915 yr Oh, nice. Mythbusters and LEGO, two of my favorite things, combined! I can't wait to see what happens on April 29. Too bad this wasn't on the real Mythbusters show, instead of only being online... Edited April 30, 200915 yr by ILikePi
April 26, 200915 yr This video has already been posted here a long time ago, so it's old. But the MythBusters thing is not! FINALLY! A Lego-related MB episode! I was scrambling my brain trying to find one to send them. Too bad it's something so obviously fake that they are testing. I mean, come on! Anyone knows that a build like this would way TONS! And it's very unlikely that anyone would go through all the trouble of building (and affording) something like that just to pull off this silly stunt! Still, watching the Busters actually put together such a big ball of bricks is great! However, seeing it all roll down a hill probably wont be so great. (Poor bricks!) Can't wait to see it, though.

April 26, 200915 yr Author I am sure that the thing is not 100% solid Lego, but I can't wait to see the MB episode. I normally don't watch it, but this is too good to pass up. jifel
April 26, 200915 yr Looking at the shadows at the start, the sun is slightly behind the boulder. At an intersection, where the road is horisontal, the boulder is filmed from the side, and here the sun comes from in front of the boulder. Those two "rolls" are not the same. Something cheeky about it. Look at the shadow at 0:50 and 1:05, opposite directions. Edited April 26, 200915 yr by Front
April 28, 200915 yr while looking at what Front said, I saw at 0:59 something strange in the shadow. look at this : http://guss.teammu.com/ball.jpg what is this thing cercled in red ? but anyway, that's a funny video^^
April 30, 200915 yr I just watched the Mythbusters show, and it looks like the myth was busted. The ball only needed 1 million pieces, not 5 million. It also weighed too much to be pushed easily (3,000 pounds). Also, it fell apart before it even had a chance to hit a car. I like how they had Gary McIntire and Nathan (that other guy who makes amazing LEGO statues on the show and lent them 500,000 bricks; can't remember last name). That was probably one of the best myths on Mythbusters. I hope to see more of people like Gary and more LEGO myths in the future! Edited April 30, 200915 yr by ILikePi

But I honestly cringed when the ball fell apart. All that precious, precious LEGO!
