I just noticed that there are 114 1x1 trans-light blue bricks in this...!

Actually, I think that they are "trans-dark blue" plates. I'm thinking that if I build this, I might substitute 1 x 1 round plates as I have a ton of them in both trans-light and -dark blue.

What could be the biggest Lego Model? Something Yoda-Chronicle related? The Ewok Village that's been speculated (with huge trees?)

I'm worried that they refer to it as "the worlds largest Lego model", and not "kit" or "set". This could mean it is some sort of huge Star Wars related display in Times Square, and not an actual retail kit.

Ah, yeah you're correct. :wink:

My guess is that it's an X-Wing. In the most recent Lego magazine, there was a contest to try and guess what it would be. It showed some random pieces that gave a "hint", which included R2's dome and the stickered 1x1 tile from 9493.

Exactly this.

If it is something so 'big' to be unveiled in Times Square, I hardly think it will be a tiny UCS set that only about a crowd of 20 people would be able to see at any one time. I seriously expect it to be some huge big megablocks display promoting something to do with the Yoda Chronicles. So I can imagine anyone expecting it to be the Ewok village or X-wing UCS or anything, will most likely be disappointed...

Just my opinion though.

I want this set, but, I not about to blow a grand on it!!

So, to make building it easier and to make it more convenient to order pieces, I made the model for it in LDD.

Here it is for anyone who wants it: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jamie75/YodaChronicles/yoda_chronicles_promotional_set.png

File will be available when folder is moderated!!

Also, the box says 408 pieces, and mine has 408 pieces. I tried to use the pics available to make the file and referenced the parts list alot. I'm pretty sure it is exact!

I think we can guarantee that it won't be the Ewok Village. No matter how hard we try and imagine that set, They will not do the "Largest Lego Set ever" on what amounts to a big tree house. It may be a big set. Even close to the Death Star size. But they still would not need it to be that big to accomplish what they need it to.

The only real option for a set that I can see would be Marshall's UCS Sandcrawler project, which if made would be the largest Lego set ever made, but was so rich and detailed and distinct that they might actually consider it. (Heck isn't that essentially how we got the last "Biggest set ever" the UCS Falcon? A designer basically built it in his office as a personal project and they fell in love with it?). That could also allow for the R2 dome.

But I agree with the above. It's probably a full scale or half scale X Wing display and not a set. They did an X Wing like they did Bag End. (PS does anyone else really want a kit of the real world scale Bag End to put in their backyard?)

Wow, after watching that, I realized I misplaced some pieces. I couldn't see them in the pics so.................. I guessed.

I'll fix it it and post to Brickshelf.

Thanks for the vid, Jamie

If I even want it, I will just bricklink the pieces as i did with the Republic dropship, saved me a lot of money.

They should really find a way to stop people from selling these exclusive sets for ridicules prices.

They were sent to journalists and reviewers that had attended a certain event at the NY Toy Fair. These are journalist and reviewer swag.

What I'm wondering, is who exactly got this?

-Sci

"Press" or "media" visitors to the Toy Fair. It makes sense, as TBS, YCF, and Idle Hands got 'em, but for some reason FBTB didn't while GameInformer did..?

Just2Good is it possible this was for video game reviewers only?

I think it is quite silly to pay this price for the matter of a couple of figures, It's rarity value does not outweigh the fact there is not all that much in the box.

Idlehands, YCF, and TBS do not review video games (as far as I know), but it could be possible that LEGO sent the sets to press attendees of the Toy Fair AND video game press sites. :classic:
