LEGO goes BIG in Manhattan

Post by Reverend Strone »

A buddy of mine in Manhattan just e-mailled me. LEGO just unveiled a life size (or very near) LEGO X-Wing in Times Square. Wow! It is accompanied by life sized LEGO droids and 2D X-Wing Pilot. He got to go inside and sit in the cockpit. :D

Crazy, right?

There's a video here, showing the light-up engines, and some BTS & development photos http://gizmodo.com/this-incredible-full ... -509484787

Yep, I heard about this on the radio news on the way home. I missed how many bricks it has, but something like 3 million.


(Also on the radio, Huffington Post has posted a study that says humans are definitely getting dumber - something I've known for years. The study claims humans have lost an average of 14 IQ points since Victorian times.

They also claim that women who have lots of babies are less intelligent than those with only a few babies. Well, that could explain "Mummy Brain" and definitely explains Octo-mum. :))
