legomilk Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 Tochigi (Japan) - The Nasu Highland Park has some sort of a LEGO event going on. That’s where this space shuttle is from, it took 65000 LEGO bricks and was completed by two people in 1590 hours. The biggest LEGO space shuttle has a command center of its own, complete with a red countdown button. At the end of the countdown, flashing lights and rocket booster sounds complete the show. Awesome as the space shuttle is, the event will also have the world’s highest LEGO tower that should be completed by April 3. Video after the jump! Quote
AwesomeStar Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 Wow. ... Thats all I can say. I am in awe. ~A.S. Quote
CP5670 Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 That looks really impressive. How big is it exactly? It's hard to get a sense of the scale since the bricks are so small. You can only tell that it's brick built by looking at the picture very closely. Quote
keetong Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 It wouldn't be full lego they often use duplo which is used to bulk it up in the middle. Still its amazing, I swear they've use more than 65000 bricks Quote
pesgores Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 If that's MF scale, just put a couple thrusters into it and launch it to the space and we'll have LEGO® high above the ground, and 7 minifigures will go higher than any other minifig could imagine in their most wildest dreams Quote

Still its amazing, I swear they've use more than 65000 bricks Still LEGO seeing that DUPLO IS by LEGO. Wouldn't be all system though. :) Still~ awesome work.

green dewback Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Anybody else feel the space shuttle looks out of scale ? It's fuselage is too short and stubby. Quote
diabloiij Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 that got to be more than 65 thousand bricks. I thought that the large mini figure displays in Lego stores are made from 10 thousand bricks roughly no? Quote
djo Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 awesome creation. i guess the shuttle tower height is about 6 meters, judging from the fence height around the creation. Quote
Batbrick Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Japan is awesome. This is true. As is this awesome tower. It's so big you can't really say anything but that, but I also love how detailed everything is, the previous lego towers have mostly been multi-coloured bricks. Batbrick Away! Quote
