LEGO builds full-sized X-Wing, staff writers suddenly overcome with envy

There are not proper words to describe the amount of WANT I am feeling right now. LEGO has gone and built a full-sized X-Wing.

If you’re in Manhattan right now, you can see it for yourself. The X-Wing is on tour as part of a promotion for the upcoming Yoda Chronicles on Cartoon Network. For more shots, head over to Jedi News who have gotten their hands on a bunch of detailed pictures!
