If you have $3700 handy, you can buy this 6-foot tall, 110-pound 40,000-brick Lego Mario, the biggest ever built. It took one week to plan, and 175 hours to build, during 16 days.
You don't have to feel like a dorky geek for buying it, because the money will go to charity. So you can feel like a good-hearted dorky geek.
The auction lasts till November 1st, and the money will go to the Ronald McDonald foundation in Netherlands, "a dutch organization that arranges proper housing for relatives of hospitalized children, in the vicinity of clinic".

6-foot tall,

so big!!!!
by the way
even I have money,,I am still not going to buy it, because i have no such a big space to place it..
Yet. I think that is meaningful to use the money for the charity. But as you told us..the money might be a part of the administrative expense of the auction. so, why don't we just donate directly to the charity?
This is a good chance for the lover of Mario in the world to have charity and they can get the things that they are really in love with it. I love Hello Kitty very much but I think buying the product with this character,it is very expensive and therefore I cannot buy it. If I can help the charity and I can have a product that everyone know and of course I have the ability to paid it,I must buy it. It is really meaningful and when you look at this things you can remember that you have help the needy,you will feel proud of it,hope that the buyer of this huge Mario can have a happy life forever as he help the needy!

"Lego" is one of my favourite toy , i still remember when i was very young , i played them with my brother ! But they're quite expensive , A tank cost about $200-300 .
Look at the Mario , It's so awesome and it took one week to plan, and 175 hours to build, during 16 days . So it must be very complicated . If i were him , i would take 200 hours to build as you know i'm not an expert !!
Buy this brick Lego Mario, and helps the charity...This auction makes me remember four guys bought freedom and justice gundam in an online game's auction. In that auction, four gundams have a much higher price than this Mario.
Maybe this is a way to helps the charity, but does they really need it???I think they should think carefully before they buy this products, as they may not need it at all.
The lego mario is very awesome!!Lego and Mario are my favorite toy when I was young.
When we were young,we always use lego to "build" up sth such as "lego car",
"lego house" or "lego road" and so on..btw,we are not profession thus the lego toy always which built by ourself were very ugly..
Since this "lego mario" was finished by professional,so we can buy it as adornment!!But the price of this mario I think maybe too expansive..
The Lego is marvellous, is worth while being bought, it is because this auction is concerning charity.Buying it , you can help children on the part of the underprivileged who can not have money to cure their disease.You also possess a interesting collection.Further more,Ronald McDonald foundation is famous in Hong Kong due to their mercy.They always donate money for poor childen and family to improve their living.
