- cmart332, on 10/30/2008, -0/+6i bet those kids just beat up some homeless man and stole his 6ft giant lego man then claimed it washed up on the beach.
- SuicideMouse, on 10/30/2008, -0/+2Well then it grew 2 feet by the time the news report was written.
- cmart332, on 10/30/2008, -0/+06ft...8ft... same difference. I thought those kids looked small.
- IglooBurner, on 10/30/2008, -1/+6Haha I can imagine some person walking along the beach thinking... "Man I'm gonna die a virgin... or am I..."
- SuicideMouse, on 10/30/2008, -0/+12So can I but I don't see what that has to do with an 8' tall lego man.

- Grooblle, on 10/30/2008, -0/+4But it is a very weird coincidence that it was the same thing but the other way around now, like some kind of dutch revenge from the first lego invasion.
- akoostik, on 10/30/2008, -0/+16the article you linked to doesn't say the story is false.. it actually says the story is "weird true freaky"

- faz9, on 10/31/2008, -0/+1Wow. Davidwasman. I think you need to go look at the date. You also need to reply to the right person. Also, the story doesn't mention anything about it being fake....hell did you even link to the correct article?
- ORBAT, on 10/30/2008, -0/+3Did you actually look at the pictures? Either the Lego man changed his shirt or it's a different Lego man.

- zaffe, on 10/30/2008, -2/+5You're right 2 foot is almost unnoticeable
... - SuicideMouse, on 10/30/2008, -1/+1Saying that the difference between an 8ft lego man and a 6 foot lego man isn't that much is like saying that they are only kinda bigger then the normal lego men.
- eejbm, on 10/30/2008, -0/+3The point is that 6ft and 8ft are ***** HUGE compared to the originals, so relatively speaking there isnt that much difference.
