LEGO house, demolished :(


A Lego house built for Top Gear's James May has been knocked down after a deal to sell it fell throug.
Workmen started breaking down the structure which consisted of 3.3 million Lego bricks after no-one showed any interest in taking on the building.
Plans for Legoland to move it to their theme park fell through because transport costs were too high...
...and despite a final Facebook appeal for someone to take it, no-one came forward.
The plastic bricks are to be donated to charity once the house on the Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, Surrey, has been demolished.
A spokesman for the estate said that the house had to be dismantled - because it did not have planning permission.
The Lego house was built by the Top Gear presenter for his forthcoming BBC show James May's Toy Stories.
Some 1,000 volunteers helped to construct the 20-foot-tall house. [6 meters high]
James May's Lego house had a bedroom...
...a kitchen...
...a bathroom...
...and a cat, which we assume is now homeless.
