Won't someone help this poor, hapless Lego® man? What Lego man, you ask? This one.
Don't you see him? Okay, how about now?
Yes, that Lego man, the one teetering on the edge of that very tall skyscraper. Thankfully, even in this position, he has a weather-controlled environment, interlocking feet, and a low center of gravity in his favor. However, one good bump from the unruly herd of remote controlled car/helicopter/My Little Pony-wielding 9-year-olds below will send Monsieur Lego to a carpeted grave. Or tiled grave. Or laminate. I don't remember the exact flooring treatment, to be honest. In the end, there were hundreds of little feet scurrying around the toy store when these pictures were taken, so it's unlikely that the Lego man survived with all of his plastic limbs (or hairpiece) intact.
Knowing of the fate this precariously posed toy likely faced, I suppose the real question is not whether anyone will help him, but rather if someone will help the poor, hapless sales representative who set-up this display?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
