Boing Boing reader Jeff Hindman says he chanced across a “giant Legoman washed ashore” today while strolling on the beach at Siesta Key Village, Fla. <\/p>\n

“It is very big, about 8 ft. tall,” Hindman said. ” … I worked with Lego in my younger days, but this piece is amazing, it’s still there on the beach.”<\/p>\n

A photo of the creature shows it beached on a sandbank, in otherwise good condition. On its chest is the message, “No real than you are.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This suggests it has the same origin as Lego men who washed ashore in Zandvoort, Holland<\/a>, three years ago, and then in Brighton, England<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
