Not nice... the first photo is terrible and not desirable to be recreated ever!!!
the second should have a better backgroung... why not made of legos....
Paula   04.08.08
I have to agree, the first image is not one we should recreate. Although I enjoyed the second image and the overall idea. The concept is still a bit week.
K.   04.09.08
im a ten year old kid who makes movies out of lego, and both the building and the concept is really bad, in the first photo, hes freaking smileying. this is crap
