Whenever Lego meets anything it’s usually AWESOME, but in this case it’s beyond awesome and into some other category from a galaxy far far away! The Lego Model Shop in Kladno, Czech Republic has built a 1:1 scale Lego replica of a Star Wars X-Wing Fighter and it’s damn impressive. It took 32 builders 4 months to build and the model itself weights almost 46,000 lbs(including the metal framing and bricks) and was built using a mind-blowing 5,335,200 LEGO bricks! For more facts, and TONS more photos and a video of this thing in action, check out the exclusive GIZMODO article about this massively impressive thing HERE!
Have a great weekend!
