Biggest Lego model ever built!

Hellego! Lego has recently made the biggest Lego model ever built!

It is a 1:1 scale replica of the Star Wars X-Wing. They made this to not only make the biggest Lego model ever, but to promote the Lego Yoda Chronicles that will come out soon. All the bricks are supported by a metal structure inside the model. The total number of bricks used is 5,335,200 bricks! It took four months to build and 32 Lego designers participated in it. It weighs 45,980 pounds / 20,865 kilograms, it's 11 feet / 3.35 meters high, 43 feet / 13.1 meters long and the wingspan is 44 feet / 13.44 meters.

It was revealed at New York's Time Square and stayed there for the weekend. Now they are going to fly it to Legoland California where people will be able to go see it this summer.

I think it is an amazing model and Lego did an awesome job!
