Star Wars and LEGO – what could be better than the combination of two geeky favorites? Well, Lucasfilm and LEGOLAND are collaborating to bring your favorite Star Wars goodies – including classics like the Millenium Falcon, AT-AT, X-Wing Fighter and more, to a LEGO theme park near you:

LEGOLAND California will be the first of three parks to launch the Star Wars Miniland, including six scenes from the movie series, and one from The Clone Wars, comprised of about 2,000 individual models and over 1.5 million bricks.

Star Wars and LEGOLAND – like chocolate-filled chocolate sprinkled with fairy stem cells.  Sooo good. Technabob has more photos: Link | LA Times article

Presidential Inauguration in Lego

Legoland in Carlsbad, California has a new display in honor of the presidential inauguration Tuesday. The park has modified its US Capitol model to portray Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, president Bush, Dick Cheney, Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, and the other dignitaries who will be present as Obama takes the oath of office, as well as the crowd! In addition to the swearing-in ceremony, see Aretha Franklin ready to entertain and the presidential motorcade waiting to join the inaugural parade. The display opens to the public today. Pictured is a detail showing George H.W. Bush nodding off. SF Weekly has a slide show featuring many other details. Link -Thanks, Janine Kahn!
