LEGO Master Builder Calls On Sydney-siders To Help Build World’s Largest Darth Vader Model from LEGO Bricks

This May the 4th weekend, Jedi and LEGO fans alike are invited to come together and celebrate the world of LEGO Star Wars with a building event like no other.

US LEGO Master Builder, Dan Steininger, will land in Sydney to join Australia¹s own LEGO Certified Professional, Ryan McNaught, in an attempt to build the world’s largest model of Darth Vader from LEGO bricks.

Taking place at Westfield Penrith from Saturday May 3rd to Sunday May 4th, Dan and Ryan will be calling on members of the public to help them build the huge model of Darth Vader. Set to scale at close to 4m in height and using more than a quarter of a million LEGO bricks, the model will be one of the biggest ever seen in Australia.

But the fun doesn’t stop there, as fans will be invited to choose their side, like Anakin, as Dan and Ryan also build a giant model of the Jedi Grand Master himself, Yoda, made from LEGO bricks, standing over 2m in height.

In addition, there will be exciting new sets from the extensive LEGO Star Wars range on display. Over the two days, there will also be Star Wars trivia and LEGO speed building challenges offering plenty of prizes for everyone.

So come dressed as your favourite Star Wars character for the chance to win a LEGO Star Wars goodie bag, or just bring the power of the Force with you to join in on all the fun and May the 4th be with you!
