    Or, he was trying to train for his next triathlon, and never made it home from his swim.

    Love how you think. ::

            Like a giant flat Stanley. He could live all over the country. I'd totally take him to the gym with me. He'd look awesome on the treadmill. (after I got him a new damn shirt)

              He could ride in the front seat for car pool lanes too! ::

                A box of 250 standard Lego blocks probably runs about $40.

                  I can manage that price if someone wants to take the time making the man of their dreams.

                    And he's 8 feet tall Michael! I'd say about 20 boxes, minimum. So about $800. BUT SOMEONE (the finder) SHOULD DONATE HIM!!!! He will be sooooo loved! I'm just kidding Michael, no one should have to buy him. I think a "Free Ego" movement could work! I'm thinking I'll make a banner! LOL!!!!

                        I don't know about free legos but set legos go for anywhere from seven cents to twelve cents per piece.

                        If you buy a thousand piece set it will be more toward twelve cents each if it's star wars or another licensed product set. The more minifigs in it the higher the cost.

                        I TRY to get Cohle's at no more than a dime a piece. The 1500 set pieces for the 14-19 age group are around 150 plus tax.

                        When you buy the little kiddy lego sets like Bob the Builder sets it can get a bit more per piece.

                          Do what laundrymom suggested and maybe start up a FB page petitioning custody of him temporarily with the hopes to gain full custody.

                          Too cool!! I love Legos!!
                          You could photoshop the picture of him from the article into some pics of your daycare, showing how you and the kids would take such great care of him.

                          I bet if you did a FB page and posted a link here the word would spread quickly and you'd have a phenomenon on your hands.

                          Good luck with the custody plea!

                            I cry a little inside each time I remember how my mom sold off my Lego collection years ago...I had a lot, mostly the older castle stuff and the basic sets. Man, what I wouldn't give to have those back...
                            Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!

                              He said we should build the perfect man.... Star Wars wouldn't be my perfect choice.... but, I wonder if they have a "Car mechanic/computer whiz" set?

                                we have a big box of legos ( about 800 pieces) that my little brothers collected over the years that the kids LOVE.

                                The DCM of the brothers that love the set the most drools over them everyday they have them out....she has been looking for a lot of legos on ebay or craigslist for months (for christmas).
