There is no such thing as an "insane" amount of anything Lego. :D

Hello!


JP, don't be sad that you only hold second place in the inofficial Most-LEGO®-Minifigure™-Ranking. The creator of this stadium has built it in order and for account of the City of Kaiserslautern. In the year 2006 Germany will host the Football (soccer) World Championship, and Kaiserslautern applied for venue. So this huge stadium was part of their application. The builder, Paul Friese (52), has done LEGO models before for he was a model builder for LEGO Germany, now he owns an advertising agency specialising in advertising with LEGO.

JP, we still admire you for your huge amount of figs as well as for your own themes (ancient and near future war), don't jump off a bridge, please!


Bye
Jojo

I just wanted to say that this beauty takes up the whole room. You know
you got a large MOC when you can't walk around it.
:wink:

Great job whoever built it. There are A LOT of plain minifigs in the MOC....

I think you read my statements incorrectly. Im not "upset" or anything. Just stating that some of you think that Im a bit nuts for collecting so many minifigs, yet here is another one of those guys who has more minifigs than I do.

I only have 3,600 minifigs. There are others who have like 5,000 or even more.

Just want to make a side comment. If Paul did work for Lego Germany,
he could have got some of the minifigs directly from the company.

When I was helping out at Brickfest 2003, I got to see the treasured
closet with boxes Lego shipped to Christine Hitchcock for free to help
with "product support" :) It was mostly stuff Lego deemed "excess".

I was surprised at the amount of Clone/Storm Trooper helmets in there.

We must of had at least 400 plain white minifigs with 3 different hair
pieces which we used to raffle the door prizes for Brickfest 2003.

Just thought I'd point this out... I'm not saying that Lego sent Paul
minifigs to help with the project, but it is a possibilty.

Thanks,
Ben
