dunamis Posted June 15, 2009 Here are some photos I took of the Star Wars Weekend at LEGOLand, California last weekend (June 13 & 14). We had a great time and there were several people there from local LEGO User Groups on hand to show off their MOCs. Some amazing stuff as you can see below. I spent a little time talking to some of the folks and everyone was really nice. Here you go: Hangar Bay from the Clone Wars (love all the little details) Hoth Battle Scene Snowboarding Chrome Stormtrooper Back of the Hoth Base (the doors were motorized) Tatooine Misc: Overall, it was a great event and the kids had a blast. Even the wife was mildly entertained. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes the last photo is the Duplo promotional brick that they give out to all the attendees. Thanks for sharing the pictures, Dunamis... It looks like a great and successful event! On a different note, does anyone know if there will be something special happening at Legoland California this July 4th weekend? Not sure you might check the LEGOLand website. I think they have fireworks and give out promo bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matteo Kenobi Posted June 15, 2009 Wow, those are some real awesome creations, I would kill for a gunship/torrent hanger like that! Although I have to say I was most stunned by that Hoth Base, I wish mine was that cool Especially the light up interior and the bunker, that really makes me thing about re-designing my echo base, which I will most likely do anyway once the Hoth set comes out in the USA! Thanks for this pictures, those were some great shots! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Future74 Posted June 16, 2009 Wow. Plain and simple Wow. I'm totally asthonished Thanks for sharing those pictures! Some great scenes with lots of details. I like the Great Pit of Carkoon, although it's a little bit out of scale it's fantastic. Too bad you havent got pictures from it's interior/belly which is barely visible in the included pictures.

WhiteFang Posted June 16, 2009 dunamis, thanks for sharing these great photos! It seemed you have a terrific weekend, viewing these amazing Star Wars dioramas. It's very impressive, and the illustration of each scene is very detailed. I must admit that the Hanger Bay and the Hoth battle scene is the ones that swept my feet. The amount of RGS and V-19 is exactly what a real hanger should look like. While the Hoth scene, I didn't expect that the interior is so vast filled with many nice details and aircrafts storing.

UsernameMDM Posted June 16, 2009 Those look great! Really love all the small details in all the displays. I guess the chrome silver stormtrooper is trying to create a diversion! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bricklanta Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) I really liked Jabba the Hutt, it seemed like slave leia was out of scale though. Edited June 18, 2009 by Bricklanta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fumoffu Posted July 15, 2009 Didn't see this threat when it first came out but there's some awesome creations in there. That Venator hangar ... drool. Love to have one at my place but the best photo for me will be the snowboarding chrome stormtrooper. A very nice touch and sense of humour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
