Video: Giant Lego ball built by Mythbusters

Posted on April 30th, 2009 by Editorial Staff in Gadgets, Geeky

Now here’s something you don’t see everyday, a gigantic 3,000 pound ball made entirely of Lego. Mythbusters Tory, Kari and Granthave taken on the challenge, of mythbusting whether the popular YouTube video featuring a guy in an Indiana Jones costume running away from a giant Lego ball is actually really real (first video below).

All the videos (Indiana Jones dude and Mythbusters) right after the jump below…

First video, Indiana Jones dude, do you reckon this is real?

So together with a huge army of volunteers, the Mythbusters gang spent two weeks building a giant Lego ball using a little over half a million Lego pieces gathered from all across America. As it was being built, they notice obvious differences between theirs’ and the Indiana Jones’ which would eventually become apparent, the weight of the Lego ball for example. But I won’t spoil the fun, take a guess on what would happen in the end, check out the video below yourself! :)
