I bet a Legoland would pay a lot of money to have that at one of their themeparks.

In 2005 the Japanese made a big-deal movie about IJN Yamato.

I’d love to get a copy of this somewhere with English subtitles- if for no other reason, for the novelty of rooting for the ‘bad guys’. :-)

Saw it at the Maker Faire in San Mateo last week. Awesome piece of work. People were taking lots of pictures of it.

It's amazing what people can do with Legos. Legoland has the statue of the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima in their replica of Washington DC. That, and the 12-foot-tall Einstein head are my favorites.
