Brick By Brick: James May's Lego house comes down

Top Gear host James May went to Dorking, England and built a Lego
So now it's dismantled, all the way down to its red Lego slippers. With the plastic fantastic house in pieces, all of the bricks will go to charity and "they have all been allocated, so people can't just turn up with a bucket." That means you. Yet we do wonder if that goes for the Lego toilet as well...

Did they intentionally choose Dorking, England? That's marvelous.

Wait a minute... that's a picture of duplo, not lego (well technically it's a lego, but for kids age 1-3). Are you telling that they're cheating and use the larger duplo (instead of the smaller lego) to built the house?

Why did he build it if he wasn't going to keep it or at least have a better plan for it's existence? What a waste of time and energy...

he built it intending for Legoland Windsor to take it, but they subsequently decided they wouldn't pay for the logistics to transport it. Why that location? No idea, guess Legoland never wanted it built on their premises directly, which is a hint they weren't going to follow through, but hey.
