Here’s an unusual, cool, and fun Kickstarter project for you. Zachary Pollock wants to create the entire first level of Super Mario Bros. with LEGO, using one block per pixel. This feat requires more than 780,000 pieces. The finished product would be around six feet tall and 90 feet wide. Pollock’s goal is to reach at least $26,400, mostly to pay for LEGO bricks. Here’s an excerpt from the Kickstarter pitch:
I want to inspire a new generation of LEGO enthusiasts. I also want to show people what they have forgotten, that building with LEGO can be done at any age. My second goal is to use this project to test the waters for a foundation I would like to start that will work with children doing healing art projects using LEGO bricks. This project aims to push the limits of imagination about what you can do with LEGO bricks and particularly to break down stereotypes people have about both LEGO and video games only being toys. I want to show the world LEGO and video games can be works of art as well. Last but certainly not least I, and I think many other people, really want to see the entire level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. made from LEGO because it is just FUN! Right now I think we all need a little more fun in our lives.
This sounds awesome! Any of you willing to contribute to Pollock’s LEGO-tastic effort?
That is a super-cool project and I would love to see it come to fruition.
Unfortunately, I don't love it enough to shell out cash. I will, however, support Mr. Pollock with nice, cheap words:
Go for it, man! You can do it! Good luck.

If I can go take a picture with it then yes!!
If he gets the funding, he's taking it on tour to LEGA and gaming conventions. You might get the chance!
C2e2 gets the shaft. Id figure since it was in April that we'd get some avengers panel from marvel but no. I'm not going next year if there arent any good panels or this LEGO level there!
Premiere happened already. Not too surprising.
See what I mean! I was stuck with panels that had John Cusack, Val Kilmer and Anthony Daniels. Wtf do I care about the raven, Val Kilmer who's not doing anything and C3PO who hasn't done anything since 2005! The walking dead panel was even lame! They didn't talk about anything for the upcoming season cuz they haven't even received scripts or the dates when they're going to start filming!
