Okay...

1) Where did it come from?

and

2) You'd think that wherever it was from they'd miss it by now, right?

That is just plain surreal.

Maybe it's some of that guerilla marketing stuff, plantedy by the lego people themselves. Still awesome though!

It's a cover-up. They have to keep quiet about this one missing Lego warrior or the whole of Operation MindStorm could be compromised. By this time next week, all of the Netherlands will be another interlocking block in the Lego Empire!  :lol:


BTW, "NO REAL THAN YOU ARE"?

Wow it's a gift from the Gods of Lego to us Dutch people, either that or the big Lego person will burst open at night and little Lego-men will start conquering the Netherlands. I guess it's easiest for them to start here since we're kinda small. I hope they'll replace our government I bet the Lego's can do a better job... I think.

Apparently the word "more" washed off his chest.  He should have applied the waterproof sunscreen.

Doubtful - look at the placement of the words on the chest - there's no room for another word between "No" and "Real".  I'm thinking a) bad translation b) performance art or c)performance art with bad translation.

GG, one must allow for the words' and letters' having been tossed about on the seas for a time.  'Twould be difficult to determine their original formation.  It could have read "Lear ate Yuan Honor," but we will never know until we have studied this clearly alien artifact more carefully.

He has a name!

On the video report here (http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/ver/237/popup/index.php?cl=3634082) you can see the back of his shirt.  It has a large number 9 and the name "Ego Leonard" circling around it. 

Quote...one website claims Ego Leonard comes from the Virtual World, and wants to be our friend.

PS: Apparenlty, he's been around a bit
