I can already imagine the smell of those sooty Legos. Having experienced a house fire myself, the smell of smoke clings to everything. Chris probably isn't bothered by it because either he's so used to the fumes inside 14 blc or he's too attached to his Lego high school despite the parts now being useless.

May be the latter, his hands looked dirty from handling those burnt remains. Hope he washed his hands
 
Our first look inside the charred remnants of 14 Branchland Court! I wonder what else Chris took pictures of? I'd like to see the state of his bedroom. Also, who at all is surprised he's just playing with the Lego bricks without even washing them off? It's not like they're hard to clean either!
I knew Chris was spending a lot of money on Lego, but over $3,000?! I wish I had that kind of money just to spend on hobbies!
 
Amazing, simply amazing, let chris tell it him and meemaw are barely surviving and are drowning in debt but lo and behold he has spent over a grand on legos. The same legos he had already bought, this nigga double dipped over pieces of plastics that are literally made for 10 year old girls, WHAT PART OF THE GAME IS THIS?
 
I just want to say that seeing his hands makes me realize how old he is now.

Even worse, the stuff I could make out (the Temple of Light, which is some kind of Lego ninja shit, the Joker car and of course the 30th Anniversary Optimus Prime) has nothing to do with the Manchester High School Obsession Project at all. There's little to no conceivable special parts that would be needed to build his school-that-looks-nothing-like-the-actual-school.

That's about $300 bucks, post-tax, completely unrelated to his escapist project. They're just toys he wanted.
 
What's really funny about all this is that the real-life Manchester High looks like it could have been built out of the $20 bucket of primary colored Legos.

I was just thinking, even though he's always had spindly limbs, his hands look really thin. I wonder how fat he is now.

After searching up a picture of MHS and finding this:

I would have to say that this statement is pretty darn accurate.

You can add another $200, since I pointed out the Batcave, the White House (why would he even buy an Architecture series kit?!), and there's some elaborate staircase thing in front of the Batcave which is probably from another sizable set and then I'm pretty sure he's probably got some Equestria Girls dolls hidden off-camera, too, since he bought the fucking movie at what can only be full price.
 
There's a guy outside my office, about 33 years old, longish hair, with some kind of mental impairment, that sells street newspapers to support himself (a street newspaper is a publication put out by a charity to help homeless people, since many cities prohibit panhandling, but by selling newspapers homeless people are technically employees of the charity and thus will not be hassled by police or security. The vendor buys the papers for a nominal sum, say around $0.25 and people usually pay $1 or $5 for each paper. This helps the vendor learn about managing his finances and gain some employment skills).

Anyway, Bob was very happy today. Turns out that after three or four years of selling these papers at this corner, he's saved enough to apply for a subsidized $600 a month one room apartment. He plans to apply for a job at Kroger then, since he will have a permanent address.

I was feeling pretty happy on my way home, thinking about people who experience hardships I can't even begin to imagine and who manage to overcome them.

I get home, login and read about Chris and his fucking legos and how much money the ungrateful bastard has spent on toys under precarious living conditions. That certainly put me in a bad mood.

I can't even get upset at him anymore. He's devolved into a useless, very dangerous 6 year old. I hope, for his own good, that he's maxed his credit cards already and that they manage to keep a roof over their heads. I doubt Chris would survive a month outside, selling newspapers to support himself.
 
So this has gotten really out of hand he has way more Legos than I ever did and that was 3 kid's worth and my dad worked for Lego so I got free and discounted Legos of course this was also when the cost of Legos wasn't astronomical.
 
What are those white/yellow/black things that are on that bookshelf in the first picture? They are all the same width and height so they aren't books, are they photo albums? I'm thinking it's most likely Pokemon card binders but that is an awful lot of binders.

Also, in the bottom right of the first picture you can see he clearly put some kind of Mary Poppins thing facing outward, what is that?

"awful lot of binders" ... you say that like you'd be surprised that Chris had thousands of dollars worth of Pokemon Cards.
 
This is a metaphor for his entire life since leaving high school. But he can rebuild it. And relive those glory days...sorta.
 
Well it looks like the internets aren't buying Chris enough MULTIPLES, so he's posting pics of all the damage his toys have suffered to better illustrate his "need". Naturally it backfired on him. Instead of feeling sorry for poor Chris the internets are using this opportunity to determine just how much he's pissed away on legos since the fire, making people even less sympathetic to his pleas for more toys. So it's business as usual.

How does a lego building that can be picked up and moved around have West, North, and North Eastern walls? If it were a scale model of the real Manchester High I could see it having walls corresponding to the real North etc. walls on the original, but Chris' lego "Manchester High" isn't really a model of anything.

Note the smoke and heat shadows where he's removed bricks. Makes me want to search for Hiroshima style sonichu minifig shadows on the rest of the pics. Also does anyone recognize the page being pointed to?

Maybe I can help you with that. Take a good look at your next pay stub. See that big chunk of your hard earned pay being taken from you every month under FICA? Don't think Chris needs more legos? Well too bad, because that FICA withholding means you've already bought him legos whether you wanted to or not. But is he in any way grateful for it? Is he even satisfied with what he gets from you? Hell no. He's demanding even more money for legos.

Let us know when you start getting upset at him again, because there's more where that came from.
 
In the "things that survived the fire" thread the OP pointed out that both the "Yep Im On TV" DVD and some Pixelblock stuff made it through seemingly unscathed. As for what else Chris has from bygone eras that didn't go up in flames I don't know.

Very entertaining thought. I would enjoy seeing facebook updates about all the jerks who wouldnt buy a paper from a smelly manchild.

Now, to play devils advocate. I personally enjoy collecting vintage Barbie items, and have spent quite a penny on them. However, I pay my bills and havent suffered a severe fire. Perhaps insurance is giving him money especially for his stupid legos as replacement? Or, barring a payout as of yet, he is pre-spending anticipated money on credit.
