Kickstarter Seeks Money For LEGO BRICKS To Make SUPER MARIO BROS. WORLD 1-1. C’mon Internet.

We got this one guys, we got this one. Let us band together and unleash an insane amount of money ($26,000) so some artist lad can recreate Super Mario Bros. World 1-1 with LEGO bricks. This is what we have been practicing wasting our money over the years for. The grand summation of frivolity.

Joystiq:

Kickstarter achieves its true potential today, as Zachary Pollock  asks  for $26,400 to buy Lego bricks to complete a model. It is an especially cool and extravagant model, however. Pollock plans to build the entirety of  Super Mario Bros.  world 1-1, a project that requires an estimated 780,000 1×1 bricks.

In addition to creating a showpiece for Lego conventions, Comic-Con, and PAX, Pollock has lofty goals for the project. It will “test the waters for a foundation I would like to start that will work with children doing healing art projects using Lego bricks.” Should the “epic Mario” sculpture be successfully Kickstarted, construction will take place in “building parties” in Portland, and will result in a totally huge, amazing thing.
