A New Lego Convention Game

Post by Athos »

I wonder how many of us could do this? Probably more than I'd care to imagine...

Any German speakers care to translate? My German isn't up to the task...

Wow, very interesting to say the least. I wonder why the girl started stuffing minifigs in her mouth, and why people would want to have a contest about it on TV. Maybe the girl was blind, that might explain why she had the funky glasses on. Currently, I don't stuff minfigs into my mouth to figure out who they are, I don't plan on starting. I guess it's just one of those things we'll never master. :)

Of course I can do it, the mouth is my third hand and third brick separator when building, so naturally minifigs have their share of chomp time.
Gosh, how could she not tell the difference between Boba and a snowtrooper? :lol:

I think it's a particular quiz show that follows the format of "choose a topic and identify 5 things from it by putting them in your mouth" :shock:

Possibly! :tasty: And also, I just realized she probably wasn't blind, just having her eyes blocked from looking, duh! :D

Ehh, gross. I hope that whoever obtained those minifigs for the show wasn't planning on using them later for playing/building. :wink:

I'd honestly rather have the figs as prizes, not uhh, what they were used for here.

God bless.

A lot of strange things happen at conventions, but I'm not putting stock in this one.

I find that using your mouth to take lego off baseplates is far more troublesome, and also scratches up the pieces a lot more. Plus, it gets covered in your saliva... :P

Anyway, It would be interesting if this game goes world-wide and next thing we know, kids are stuffing as many minifigs they can get their hands on into their mouths. :)

The real impressive feat would be to tell flesh toned figures from the yellow.
