Custom Star Wars Lego Republic Attack Star Cruiser - 150 Pounds and 8 Feet of Lego Goodness

Posted by Mig on Monday, September 17, 2007 @ 4:32 PM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe
Back in December 2005, there was a charity auction for a one of a kind Lego custom from an actual LEGO Master Builder, Erik Varszegi. This gigantic piece, which had to be crated like a motorcycle for shipping, contained the following:

  • A framed certificate of authenticity that was signed by George Lucas and the Master Builder

  • Stem to stern the model is 97 inches 47 inches wide and was created using over 35,000 pieces

  • The model was built around a steel armature that runs down the spine of the ship and includes a rolling display frame

  • The model scale is 1:466 and took over 450 hours to build

I was in awe when I saw this back in 2005 and I have never wanted a Lego piece more than this one. So after over 60 bids and $36,000 later, this wonderful piece of Star Wars Lego history went to the high bidder and all of the proceeds went to Habitat for Humanity. This Attack Cruiser is long gone but you can find more Lego Customs on my website in the Custom Lego section of ActionFigureCustoms.com or head directly to eBay.
