Watch the world's largest Lego Millennium Falcon be built using 250,000 Lego bricks!

To celebrate Star Wars Day, May 4th, Master Lego builders Chris and Dan Steininger built the world's largest Millennium Falcon using Legos. The event was held at the Southland Westfield Mall at Melbourne, Australia. The end result had the Millennium Falcon standing at 16 feet across and was built from about 250,000 Lego pieces! Attendees of the event even got to chip in and help out by piecing together Lego bricks to make larger Lego bricks for Chris and Dan to build the ship with.

""Usually models the size of the Millennium Falcon can take more than a week to build, and it was thanks to the Aussie fans that we were able to build a model of this size in such a short time," Dan Steininger said.

"This model was ground-breaking for Lego because of the way it stretches out wide. Normally when we build big Lego builds they stand tall, so this was both an exciting and challenging experience for Chris and myself. It was very inspiring to see thousands of Melbournians come together, dress up, play and help build these iconic Star Wars vehicles -- we certainly couldn't have finished without them!""
