Yeah thats right. It's bit rubbish that you only get a one hour slot to help out.

secretspy · 29 Jul 2009 at 20:41

Might see if I can drag a friend along with me to see if we can get a ticket!!

It'll be a bugger to heat.

BigglesPiP · 29 Jul 2009 at 21:20

Bah, not worth the trip for an hour.

Geckovich · 31 Jul 2009 at 22:42

So who's going then?

secretspy · 31 Jul 2009 at 22:45

was hoping to go but no one to go along with. Dont fancy being a loner lol so going shopping with my mum instead

He's building the world's longest railway track between Barnstaple and Bideford too (approx. 10 miles)! Bideford station is about 100 yards from my house so I'll have to have a nosey when they do it.

Was going to go with a few mates, but decided to go paintballing instead. Having to que up early for a ticket, which you might not even get for a hours drive or so we decided wasn't worth it.

Got the generic email but waste of my Saturday if I have to go queue in the morning. May just pop by in the afternoon if I'm free to have a peek if possible.

looks like it started today:

didn't think they'd build bricks like that tbh

^TANK^ · 1 Aug 2009 at 18:24

Helpers had to create blocks out of 272 Lego bricks, thats going to be a **** load of lego.

secretspy · 1 Aug 2009 at 18:26

ah so looks like they were only making big bricks and didn't actually get to see them start to assemble it. Although i bet it will be difficult as weather has been pretty naff today.

I wonder if i will be able to see it when i drive past tomorrow.....

edit: does anyone know when it will actually be shown on tv?

There's normally a 6 month delay from filming to actually airing a program on TV.

I think with with publicity this is getting, it would be aired a lot earlier. My bets is about a month after May moves out of the house. ENough time for editing and so on.

Yeah I didn't think they'd build it like that, but it makes sense I suppose.

Someone should go over and grief it at night, dig a few tunnels under it or something

Lee2k4 · 1 Aug 2009 at 21:15

he won't pull this off, theres not enough lego in the world to do it. and hes going to need a hell of a lot more then 3m try 60 times more at least.

baz047 · 1 Aug 2009 at 21:22

I can't wait to watch this, I even donated my old lego bricks i used to play with.

the way he has built the blocks out of bricks he will have enough lego for 11029 of the big blocks plus whatever amount the public brought. no idea if that is enough
