I do a lot of weekly training at the sheriffs office in dublin, so it's kinda cool to have my favorite TV people doing their show right there
plus, I mainly got a kick out of it because it was LEGO's

You can't say that X number of Lego pieces weigh X lbs. Unless you're using all the same Lego (i.e. 1 tall x 6 long). If you're using all different Lego parts then your calculations are awful estimates that don't mean jack. The Mythbusters half *** so many things. That really bothers me about the show.
I'd be willing to bet that getting your hands on a million Lego bits isn't as hard as they make it sound. Have you SEEN a Lego store? Buy it out... done.
I didn't watch the video. I have no speakers at work.

if you watch the video, you'll see that they used the same size lego piece 
4x2 http://www.instructables.com/files/d...KQZ.MEDIUM.jpg
he weighs the same size pieces several times to determine that it's 160 per pound.
so they "got their hands" on about half a mil of the same 4x2 size, not all random sizes which you'd get from the store in their sets.

A few months ago my mom sold all of my legos from when I was younger, multiple rubbermade containers worth 
Honestly though, there was no way I'd ever have been able to build anything with them, I think all of the instructions get ruined one of the times the garage flooded.
