Or possibly he opened in his car because it is Lego.
Honestly are you trying to tell me you’ve never opened a lego set in your car before?

That was a horrible typo (now fixed), I’d never have done something like that on purpose.

Hmmm… the blog entry says “And by the way, he did not not video-tape every box he opened “.

I presume that this was an expirement in fans not noticing the double ‘not’.

And then, the box opener said “I will not say how I did it. Maybe I bought 50 of them and filmed each opening.”

Gosh. What a puzzle.

Hey, I never asked for that to be blogged! I would have said the same thing for that but I was being polite. :P

I’m still going to be mildly skeptical about this ;) Seems too much like a magic trick, I was waiting for the “Ta-da!” at the end

Drama! @Rocko: See Nannan's response. :-P @Proudlove: Perhaps this is more to your liking? ;-) TBB is as much about the people behind LEGO fandom as it is about individual LEGO creations. A silly little video like this now and then fits in nicely, I think.

It was probably filmed in his car because he was going to return all the boxes that weighed less.

I will not say how I did it. Maybe I bought 50 of them and filmed each opening. lol.

1) It was done in the “tone” of having fun. But I didn’t stick it in the box , I really opened it i the shot.
2) It’s supposedly in all SW 2009 sets. Random that is.
3) If its not your blogged style fine. Why do you visit a Lego blog? To find out whats new and interesting and entertaining. If you clicked on the video, it was interesting. It did it’s job. If it’s not why you come here, I hope you never clicked on it. Or you proved yourself wrong. Because at some “level” it caught your attention.
4) It was shot in my car because I just came back from the store and I couldn’t wait to open it.
5) why was this done? People said it couldn’t be found in the BP boxes. I did. Go buy 50 of ‘em I’m sure you might get one. If you don’t, maybe next time. :)

He could have weighed the box. One question, Why was this filmed in his car?

He must have used a postal scale to tell; a minifig in a bag would be easily detectable.

Does this thing randomly come in ALL StarWars sets in 2009? I was under the impression they’d be randomly stuck in sets coming out this August to kick off the 10th anniversary.

Anyone have a clear answer on this? tks…

I can see why, but it couldn't get worse than this :)

Yeah, not my personal taste in blogged content.
