World's largest Lego Mario up for auction photo

Quick, as of this posting you only have 7 dagen and 21 uren to win yourself the largest Lego Mario in the world. In case you're wondering why I'm speaking in Netherlandese (yes, I am well aware that isn't a real language) it's because the auction for this massive Mario statue is taking place on the Netherland's eBay. As of this writing there are only two bids for 2.550,00 euros, but I'm guessing it will go much higher as this is a pretty unique item and all the proceeds are going to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. 

Sadly, if aren't an altruistic millionaire or live pretty much on the same street as the Lego Mario's creator, Dirk VH, then buying this item might get a little expensive. The thing weighs 110 pounds so I'm guessing shipping costs would be between 1 bajillion and 1 kajillion dollars (yes, I am well aware that those aren't actual numbers). I suppose he could ship it in pieces, but do you really want to put back together 40,000 Lego blocks? I didn't think so. Check out the complete building process for the massive Mario at Dirk's link above. He's also made Luigi and Master Chief to name a few.

Bajillion is a real number.

Otherwise, I'm screwed since I just used that term in a company meeting.

you should just use sextillion. Which is both funnier and actually is a real number.

ha, Spykron's comment is depressingly accurate. My enthusiasm for this little brick-ish achievement has officially been reduced. ...still, nice.

@Matthew. As a Dutch member I'm kinda offended because Dutch (nederlands) is a real language. Especially because it is us who invented this "English" to begin with as a means of sending incomprehensible coded messages the Germans couldn't understand. Needless to say things got out of hand.

The Game Mania store is right around the corner (couple of yards) from where i'm living. Lego Mario is awesome! Dutch? In my destructoid??? :>

@ Brolsen: I think Matthew meant his version of the languages name (Netherlandese) which I think is really just made up :-)

What phreekster said. I was saying Netherlandnese was made up, not Dutch. I know Dutch is spoken in Netherlands and that it is quite a wonderful country as I have been there before. If you are willing, please send me some of your food and more attractive women.

Hihi :) I was only kidding. Nederlandnese is pretty close though.
I just find it cool you posted this.

Plenty of stroopwafels, roze koeken, suikerspinnen & lekkere wijven to go around. Lekker wijf = hot chick. :>

Ronald McDonald House? Don't make me laugh! They make other people donate to pay for those houses while McDick keeps all of their money for themselves. It's just ironic that a multi-billion dollar company asks customers to pay for their charitable cause which the corporation could easily do!

But if you have the cash why not? What are you buying that's so important?

I'm not saying Micky D is right on this I'm just sayin' attack them. Not their charity. It's not like you're hurting anyone by donating to their charity.
