    It takes an extra moment for the link to direct you to the correct facebook page and they display the right photo. My friend's son has spiky blonde hair and is wearing an orange shirt.

    I'm curious. How many sites did you spam with this?

    Did you copy and paste the message, or are you personalizing them?

    I highly doubt that anyone is going to send a little boy to Denmark. Also
    I agree with Spencer.

    It's spam, dude.

    You made an account on a writing forum to spam links to Facebook pictures for likes. You might as well be a robot.

    I went through and liked a whole slew of them, (especially the girls and the ones that looked like the kids made their own creations without help).

    Yes, it is spam, but not the bad kind, and sadly these contests suck because they become popularity contests rather than legit contests. I don't mind that you've come here to drum up support. If you are a writer, maybe you'll stick around and join the community.

    I appreciate that. A lot of their creations were really cute.

    @tjdell - Here is what you must do...
    #1- Buy him an X-Box One. You'll have to set up an X-Box Live account, but it's free.
    #2- Wait until March 16th.
    #3- Purchase Lego World.
    #4- Show it to the kid and explain that it's a world where you can literally built literally anything. And it's all 100% Legos, hence the title.
    #5- Watch him squee with joy and not go to sleep because he's too busy having a blast with that game.

    If he doesn't get the chance to go to Lego Land, buy this game for him, this game will satisfy all his Lego-creativity dreams.

    lol I will let his parents know. But since he's 6 I'm not sure they'll support all night gaming.

    I doubt he'll listen to them in any case. :p Just don't mention the 'all night' thing. Say that this would be Option #2 for him, and it'll make him feel better if he's unable to go to Lego Land.

    In addition to Orlando, there are Legolands all over the world.

    Yes, but Denmark is where the original one is. :)
