Thanks for the links

Heh - I just finished building my new X-Wing the other day - Lego love that model:

- last year we had the mini X-Wing with planet, and the standard sized X-Wing

- This year we get a UCS X-Wing, and this times-square X-Wing (assuming it really is an X-Wing which it is shaping up to be).

(assuming it really is an X-Wing which it is shaping up to be).

I think we can assume it

They used dishes on the lasers

It's just the 9493 model at a larger scale (human scale maybe).

[lightningtiger]

By the looks of it, it's a public display which will allow everyone to sit in the cockpit.....I wonder if it will be part of a roadshow eh ?

[Artifex]

Wow!!! Thanks a lot for the link!

Looks like ToyArk has a few new pics up.

Gizmodo got an exclusive look at the model and has some great pics, videos, and info about it.

While this is awesome, I'm disappointed because I thought we might be getting the largest ever set to purchase.

[hiroki]

Is the reveal just the X-Wing or are we expecting a set?

I just read about the NYC LEGO The Yoda Cronicles event, and saw this photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/hothbricks/8802340722/

It appears to be a model containing 5,335,200 bricks, and soon after, I found out it's a life-size X-Wing!

That is really impressive and neat to see in real life. But I also thought they were going to reveal a new set. Maybe they still will.

But for the many people who are nowhere near this thing, it'd be cool to sit in it. Would it house a 6'4" person? I think they should rebuild it.

[Alternator]

Ok, someone who is in the area - try to get around the back of that thing and give that gear a crank

[BrickG]

We need a LIFESIZE Lego Millennium Falcon now. :)

[CM4Sci]

Wow, that's kind of... disappointing. Expected something different.

I was also hoping for the largest "set" ever. But this is quite awesome! I hope it travels, I'd love to see it in person.

[Anio]

LOL.

The model is really terrible and appalling.

[vynsane]

I neglected to post pics here!

Lots more shots in the "Yoda Chronicles Times Square Event" set on Flickr...

Ok Lego time to build a Death Star play set. Using this same scale it would be pretty easy for a guided tour type attraction at say... Disneyland / Disney World!

Not holding my breath on that one, but a matching TIE fighter would make for an interesting pair!

LOL.

Why? It's just 42x 9493, a design you said was interesting

Could you design something better?
