A young Chinese boy has accidentally destroyed a giant Lego sculpture worth 100,000 Yen ($20,000) barely one hour after the exhibit opened.
The sculpture – of ‘Zootopia‘ character Nick Wilde – took Chinese artist Zhao three “painstaking” days and nights to build.
Apparently, the eyes were the most difficult to construct, with Zhao telling Chinese tabloid Global Times that he took “some parts off and put some on, over and over again, especially the eyes.”
Tbqh with you, the subsequent nightmares seem harder.
Shanghaiist reports that the parents of the child came forward to apologise, but Zhao refused to accept any compensation. He’s apparently not *too* angry with them, saying that a child couldn’t comprehend the cost of the accident.
As the sculpture was partially sealed with glue, apparently less than a third of it is salvageable.
But let’s not forget that last year a kid tripped and punched a hole through a $2 million Italian oil painting, so things could be infinitely worse.
