British TV star plans a Lego-like House. Literally.

As part of his show James May's Toy Stories, May wants to build a two-story life sized house out of Legos.

If ever there was a definition of “coolest-toy,” it’s this one. One of the most popular shows on the “Beeb,” (BBC) is Top Gear, a cool cable style show which highlights cool – and often expensive or obscure cars and the strange things they do with them. Sometimes, they race. One time they launched one like the space shuttle. But it’s always car style and it’s way, way cool. One of the hosts of this cool show – which is like Mythbusters meets Detroit – is James May, and May has a very interesting project he needs volunteers for. May wants to build a house out of Legos. Literally.

With millions of Bricks send over from Czechlosovakia, may plans to start building his two-story house, this coming Saturday in the middle of the Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking England. It’s all a part of his BBC series James May’s Toy Stories. One complete, the Lego House will have a life size staircase, toil and shower, and all the amenties May will need to live in the house for several days. But it’s not without challenges. There’s the flushing Lego toilet, for instance, and the pipes for plumbing which May will tray to make lego-like as much as he can.

And although May has over 3 million bricks to start, he’s not really sure if that’s enough to build an actual life-sized Lego mansion. So, May is taking donations and volunteers to make it happen.

Anyone interested in taking part in the Lego house build, or who has Lego bricks to donate, should e-mail lego@plumpictures.co.uk.
