Building the LEGO Millennium Falcon

LEGO's new Star Wars Millennium Falcon set is the biggest LEGO set ever. It contains 7,541 pieces and will cost $799. Even if you have that much money, you still won't be able to buy one until December, unless you are a LEGO VIP member. WIRED managed to get one, and recorded its crew putting the set together. Watch this time-lapse video to see how they do it, so you won't have to deal with the huge instruction book, which could be as heavy as the finished model.

Even with teams working in shifts, it took them four days to compete the spaceship. If it was me, there would be a piece or two left over at each step, or else way too many missing. -via Tastefully Offensive

Being Halloween as much fun as you want, thank goodness it is still not imported in Spain and the Hispanic countries. Media and commercial sectors are pushing in as much as they try. I'm affraid to say that in some years we will be overruled by this anglosaxon holiday but nowadays, we can proudly say that we resist!! This is an american holiday and I think should not kill local celebrations. I feel sorry for all those non saxon countries that are loosing their identities...

I have to say that the Spain picture displayed is totaly unaccurate as the celebration in Gran Canaria is the Carnival, an the end of February, nothing to do with pumpkins.

Nothing to do with Anglo-Saxons. (I hate that term for English speaking countries!) This tradition is mainly Celtic / Pagan & Christian, brought to the US by Irish and Scottish immigration. In recent years the American traditions have spread to other English speaking countries. Also, BTW I'm English and I've never heard of a souling play. We all know 'trick or treating' and 'apple bobbing' though!
