    Hey guys,

    I don't know if this is old news or if other pics have been circulating in the forums, but the day before New Year's Eve, my cousin and I visited the big FAO Schwartz store in NYC and we saw this! Behold...

    This was truly incredible... Even in Lego, Indy stood a bit taller than me!

    They also had a life size Darth Vader, R2D2 and C3PO, and Harry Potter (along with Ron, Hermione, and a VERY large Hagrid).

    If you make it to NYC, do yourself a favor and make a visit to this world famous toystore. Though they didn't have any of the new Indy playsets for sale, these lego sculptures make the trip worth it.

    How did I miss that?! :eek: :oops:

    I was there only a few days before you and totally missed the display. Then again, the place was so crowded you couldn't move, so maybe that had something to do with it. Oh well, that's one awesome sculpture! Thank for posting!

    I was in the city a few days ago...never made it to FAO. Wow, that looks really good though. In downtwown Disney World Orlando--there are several giant dragons and serpents in the river which are very impressive.

    Not sure if anyone knows what I'm talking about. It is over in the area where Rainforest Cafe is. Down that road is a lego store on the waterfront. In the water and around the store are several mammoth constructions.

    I was there many years ago. Those are really impressive, just these gigantic heads and necks rearing out of the water.

    Oh wow, that's some awsome work there. I wonder how many blocks they used...

    The figures were on the second floor, among the action figure and (obviously) Lego sections. Indy, C3PO, R2D2, Hary Potter trio with Hagrid, and of course Darth Vader were all there.
