The World’s Biggest LEGO Millennium Falcon will be landing in LEGOLAND Malaysia

The first time anyone saw the Millennium Falcon, it was at Docking Bay 94 at Mos Eisley. The next time you catch it, it won’t be anywhere near the wretched hive of scum and villainy, but nearby at LEGOLAND Malaysia.

Come this May, LEGOLAND Malaysia will be playing host to Asia’s only Master Builder event, with the world’s only father-son Master Builder Team, Daniel and Christopher Steininger, in attendance. Daniel is currently the most senior LEGO Master Builder in the business, and there are only seven around the world.

Together, they’ve built the world’s largest LEGO replica of the Millennium Falcon (250,000 bricks), which was shown last May in Melbourne, Australia. They were also responsible for the world’s largest X-Wing (5,000,000 bricks), which was unveiled in Times Square, New York City back in May 2013.

(We hope you’ve seen the trend and the dates, because they will be across the Causeway, to celebrate Star Wars Day on May the 4th, 2016.)

Every Weekend in the month of May

Park guests will get to bring home a mini LEGO Millennium Falcon build! We’re guessing it would probably be the Microfighter, or perhaps a cutesy MOC of sorts? There will also be a treasure hunt and photo opportunities with LEGO Star Wars characters throughout the park.
