A DSi Fit for the Jolly Green Giant

Looking to show people you have both an excellent imagination and way too much time on your hands? Try building a Lego model of a Nintendo DSi that weights over 250 pounds.

Sean Kinney did just that — and it only took him 51,324 Lego pieces and more than 200 hours to build it. The super-sized handheld was displayed at the Nintendo World Store in New York City earlier this year [via Tiny Cartridge]:

Kinney actually creates sculptures like this for a living. In fact, he’s one of the few “Lego Certified Professionals” in the entire world. And you thought working in the video game industry was a dream job!

Check out a quick “making of” video after the jump.
