LEGO Goes “Star Wars” For Largest Model
Earlier in Times Square, LEGO unveiled this 1:1 scale model of an X-Wing from Star Wars. The model is not only large enough for someone to sit in, but it is also LEGO’s biggest model.
The model was built using 5,335,200 bricks. Just like an actual X-Wing, the model is 11-feet tall and 43-feet long with a 44-foot wingspan. It took 32 builders a total of four months to complete.
You can also view some of the video of the engines actually sounding and glowing.

Pre-Order D-arts Mega Man X and Venusaur
Currently up for pre-order are two amazing Bandai D-arts figures worth adding to your collections.
I’m not a big Mega Man fan, but damn, I can’t resist that Mega Man X Ultimate Armor D-arts figure. The detail and the color of his metallized armor is just too amazing to pass up. Mega Man will come with an extra faceplate and some action attachments. D-arts Mega Man X Ultimate Armor will go for about ¥4500.
Also Pokefans, don’t forget to add Venusaur to your D-arts Pokemon collection. In my opinion, Venusaur looks the best out of the three current Pokemon figures. Venusaur comes with vine whip attachments and will go for about ¥3800. Pre-orders for these two figures can be found at:

Chibi-Arts Tony Tony Chopper
Looks like Bandai has announced that their next One Piece Chibi-Arts character to be released this year is Tony Tony Chopper!
I’m not sure why they’re giving us new Chopper when the current Chibi-Arts Luffy and Nami are still in their old outfits, but either way he’s still adorable. Aside from his sitting body and two extra face plates, it looks like Chopper will have a nice assortment of accessories, including his medical book, syringe, medicine mixing bowl, and his cotton candy.
Chopper is due to be release something in August and will be going for about ¥3,675 (roughly $37).
