That’s No Moon, That’s A… Brick?

LEGOLand Windsor has taken one-upmanship to a whole new level when they unveiled their 2.4 metre wide, 3 metre high Death Star (making it an oblate sphere), made of half a million bricks which weigh in at 860 kilograms! With light and sound effects triggered by guests it will serve as the center-piece of the resort’s MINILAND LEGO Star Wars display, which already sported 1,500 models and 1.5 million bricks. You can get more details here or just hold your breath until the May bank holiday when the park will hold special Star Wars Day celebrations.
