Zanzibar looking good all LEGO'ed
In continuation of our love and admiration of anything that blends our obsession of video games with the simplicity that is LEGOs, we proudly present to you Zanzibar LEGO'fied. As you'll see in the video embedded above, a college student meticulously crafts Halo 2's Zanzibar in LEGOs along the way spending thousands of dollars and over two years of his college life. We give this Halo inspired LEGO creation an A for effort, an A- for accuracy and an A+ for shear amount of Halo geekiness that's involved. LEGO Zanzibar ... who would have thunk it.
[Thanks, Josh]

while it's kinda cool....
think about all those hours he spent, now just multiply that times even just a minimum wage job.
wow, looks like he could have walked away with quite a bit of bank and something to put on a resume instead of a pretty lego structure.

I agree with Joe, don't make fun of this guy for doing something he loves and being damn good at it too. Lots of people love Halo a LOT more than you even realize, and maybe this guy actually ENJOYED doing this with his freetime. He did it over TWO YEARS, not over night, so give him some props.

"He did it over TWO YEARS, not over night, so give him some props."
exactly, what a load of wasted time. Why not go do drugs? at least then you can pretend you are being productive and not wasting time.
It's not art, it didn't get him anywhere except his 15 minutes of internet fame, and sure it's impressive but what does wowing a bunch of people on a message board with a lego sculpture get you?

@Grant
It's not about wowing people on a message board. It's about the satisfaction of building something with your own two hands. A feeling you are obviously not familiar with.

no joke, and at least he actually has something to show for his work. since you're involved with this blog i'm assuming you play video games... how much time have you wasted on that and what do you have to show for it? he created a work of art, had a good time doing it, and got some recognition for it.

Heh heh...all the flamers trying to put me down! I built this...I am Alex Kobbs...and to those few who have posted defensive arguments on my behalf, I thank you. Why can't all you flamers just freakin chill out? I built a huge model---decided to share it with everyone---and that's it. I had fun and I've got a social life thank you very much. There's so much hate in your comments about me...and it's people like you who give gamers a bad rep. I'm happy with my hobbies and my life, but I don't think you're as secure with your's.
