For those of you whose kids are getting giant Lego kits for Christmas...

Maybe you can try this out after 14 hours of building when your kid's enthusiasm and your patience has long since worn off:

That's a much cooler version of my running them down the stairs when I was younger to watch the explosion. 

[bersaguy]

GOSH!!!!! no fair............all I got when I was a kid was Lincoln Logs to build things with.....

[monkeylizard]

So much cooler than just blowing up GI Joe with an M-80

[Garufa]

I approve this destruction.  

[jhc77]

That is so gratifying. My boy is 8 now and fell off the Lego train. 30+ sets in various stages or piles.

It's all fun and games till somebody walks through there barefoot

[MacGyver]

No doubt.

If you like that kind of thing, you could have a great time watching a few more of his videos. David Windestal is one of the best R/C model builders I have ever seen, with regard to needless and awesome destruction. He used to to be affiliated with a group called Flitetest and they did some of the best things with R/C flight to bring it to the masses that could ever be done. it was through their videos that I began to appreciate his engineering genius.

I loved watching him send the RC glider to the edge of space with the weather balloon.

Was that not EPIC?! I would be terrified and amazed to see what he could create given access to military tech LOL.

Never underestimate the ingenuity of an engineer with a paycheck...

FTFY.  

 

And yes, this is cool.

$1000 Lego set shattered all over the yard. Yikes!

[RC3]

I remember when I got mine for $379 years ago. And then broke it in half by kicking it, while climbing out of bed. But its all fixed now.\

And as a lego aficionado, this video made me cringe. Specially since how much that sets costs now and the fact that I want another one :/
