47 LEGO Builds BIG, BIG, BIG Star Wars X Wing Fighter

Those crazy LEGO guys have really outdone themselves with their incredible life-size model of a Star Wars X-Wing Fighter built out of 5,335,200 LEGO bricks.

The design reproduces the official $60 Lego 9493 X-Wing Fighter. But instead of being 560 pieces and a few inches long, this model uses more than five million pieces and it’s 11 feet tall and 43 feet long, with a 44-foot wingspan. That’s 42 times the size of the commercial LEGO set.
