Actually, they can be built with *relatively* simple, active-feedback
systems for the balance and control.
Simple legged robots (one leg is actually easier than two to control) have
been around since ~1980.
See MIT's "leg" laboratory for pictures and videos!

The biggest Lego limitation is in the acutators and sensors. Sensing the
"delicate shifts in balance" _is_ difficult, as well as making delicate
manuvers to correct for those shifts--especially when you scale things down
to managable Lego sizes.
