Lego Mario can also double up as a giant egg cup

No Travellers Tales aren’t in talks with Nintendo to bring us a Lego take on the seminal platform game series (well they could be, but we’re not privy to the news), but rather some talented Lego fan has painstakingly constructed a 6 ft Mario out of the Danish building blocks.

The sculpture was unveiled to attendees at Lego World Fair this October and is said to be made up of over 40,000 Lego bricks (and we can believe it too). It was recently bought on eBay for over $5000, with the money raised going to the Ronald McDonald House Charity in the Netherlands.
