So it begins:

A spokesman for Denbies said hundreds of people had turned up and everyone had a good time helping out.

Some fans queued from 0430 BST to get their hands on one of the 600 tickets that were released, enabling them and a friend to help May build the house.

Each helper had to create full sized bricks out of 272 Lego pieces.

More than three million bricks were delivered to the site last week, but people were still asked to take any unwanted Lego with them.

Anyone from here in the area and helping out?

And, it seems, it's likely to end in brick-shaped tears after all:

A two-storey Lego house created by Top Gear and Toy Stories presenter James May faces demolition after plans for Legoland to buy it fell through.

The house will be demolished on Tuesday if a new owner cannot be found in time.

It will cost about £50,000 to dismantle and reassemble. Top Gear's website has set up a Facebook page in an attempt to find a buyer.

Legoland now say it is too expensive for them to move it. The house was made for BBC Two series Toy Stories.

The house was built by about 1,000 volunteers and currently stands in Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, Surrey - but now the vineyard needs the land back to harvest its grapes.

Well, at least it was completed to some extent in the end, but it's a real shame that it's come to this. Anyone got a couple of grand to spare?

Very sad. Poor James.

Why can't they invite a bunch of LEGO maniacs over to disassemble it and let them take the bricks home.
