As always with such things I'm stuck halfway between "Wow, that's cool!" and "what a complete and utter waste of time much better spent on something else." [&:]

I agree - I'm firmly in the "wow! - that's cool" camp. That said, I prefer this [:)]

Lifetimes work, very impressive. A lot more went into these then the lego ships, can you imagine the patience it took?

Joe 98,

I take it you are not a big fan of the Star Wars films.

What a waste of time and resources. If they put half that effort into volunteer work at a hospital or va center I would have all the respect in the world for them.

Deny people the right to dream and you will do more damage that can ever be repaired by voluntary work at a hospital.

This is true, but it depends on the dream. Someone who has the dream of making a fictional 5,ooo,ooo lego xfighter needs to have their priorities examined. Now, if this was the Iranian airforce trying to impress the world with their new fighter,I would understand.

You are correct that it depends upon the dream and also the dreamer. Voluntary work at a local hospital would have been much better for humanity than dreams of Aryan Supremacy that cause Hitler to get so uppity.

However, this is Michal McNally, spokesman for Lego...

"We are doing it to kick off and celebrate a brand new content mini-series that will be airing on television next week and also because we want to inspire the imaginations of kids all around the world with an awesome Lego model."

Best wishes,
Steve

PS: Am I the only one who is getting annoyed by the word "content" being thrown around in every other sentence these days? Someone please explain to me the difference between "brand new mini-series" (or even "new mini-series") and "brand new content mini-series".

As do people who complain about it need theirs examined.
