The world’s largest LEGO model was unveiled in New York’s Times Square this weekend.
The replica LEGO Star Wars X-wing fighter was among a number of other LEGO Star Wars creations, including Yoda, Darth Vader, Boba Fett and Chewbacca.
Visitors were able to walk around the X-wing fighter and take pictures with the LEGO creations — and even be photographed in the cockpit of the X-wing. The fun part was a photo booth featuring Yoda wearing a N Y I (Love) T-shirt.
The LEGO model is a 1:1 replica weighing nearly 46,000 pounds. It took 17,336 hours to complete and workers used 5,335,300 LEGO bricks to make the model, which stands 11 feet tall and 43 feet long with a wingspan of 44 feet, according to LEGO.
The models were made to celebrate the start of the start of The Yoda Chronicles on Cartoon Network on May 29.
