….and the LEGO gods weep. Infamous LEGO house demolished.

The infamous LEGO house that was envisioned by Top Gear’s Maes May and constructed from the blood, sweat, and tears of 1,000 tireless workers was for naught. The house that will live on inside the little kids in all of us came crashing to the ground recently as repeated attempts via many different mediums couldn’t garner the £50,000 ($82,074.21 USD) needed to disassemble the LEGO house brick by brick, transport it to a new home, and rebuild the same house….again. Even a home as fitting as LEGOLand couldn’t be arranged as the costs were (obviously) prohibitive.

In the end, all we have is the memories of a lucky few and some pictures. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until someone builds another, possibly even bigger and better LEGO house. Until then we’ll just have to reminisce and dream.

Pictures of the pinnacle of childhood fantasies right after the jump.
