I am not a fan of promotional endeavors, but......

Lego made an X-Wing.  A big, sit in it and everything X-Wing fighter, out of lego bricks... you have to see it...

After you see it, we need to buy it and put it in my garage.

I believe Lego themselves funded this one.

New animated TV series.. and it's Star Wars.  I'm certain dollar signs lit up in their eyes and it had to be made.

It was destiny....

Kit will be spamming this in 5...  4...   3...    2...    1...

with the price of legos nowadays, this must have cost a couple hundred thousand dollars, for the small one the man is holding, let alone the other one.

It was made by Lego, so they probably only faced costs incurred in manufacturing the blocks, (for a lack of a better word) construction costs including labor, and opportunity costs.

And when you see it, you will  :censored: bricks.

What? Someone had to say it! :P Anyways, that's really impressive for a Lego build, reminds me of the full-size Volvo wagon they made a few years back.

I want one but if this was an official LEGO product the box would be the size of a house. :)
I think it looks like big bricks because it's designed to be taken apart to move.
