I saw a link to this collaborative flash art project entitled The Zoomquilt a few months back, actually, it was when I was in LA last so I’m going to say October, when Chris posted it to his site. Today, I got it again from my friend Sam so now its been doubly verified and […]

From the Lego web site: “This incredibly detailed and faithful replica of the Death Star II from Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi will make an awesome addition to any Star Wars collection.
