Attack of the 8 Foot Lego!

In the early morning on Tuesday, October 25, the invasion began (okay, not really). An 8 foot lego man made of fiberglass appeared on the Siesta Key Beach in Florida. On the front, it read on its chest area "No Real Than You Are". On the back, it read "Ego Leonard" with the number "8". "Ego Leonard" is actually the name of the artist who made the sculpture. Other Lego men made by this artist have appeared on beaches in England and Holland. The police officers of the Sarasota County Sherif's Office removed it later on. The figure is under protective custody and will be held for the owner for 90 days. Even though the LEGO Group had just opened a theme park in Florida, the company denies any involvement with this event.
