Meet the 23-Ton X-Wing, the World's Largest Lego Model 121
First time accepted submitter awaissoft writes "There's big, then there's really big, and then there's colossal, which might be a good word to use when describing a near 46,000-pound Lego X-Wing that made a triumphant debut Thursday in New York's Times Square. The full-size replica, about 42 times the size of the Lego Star Wars X-Wing set available on store shelves, celebrates the debut of Cartoon Network's The Yoda Chronicles, which premieres on May 29 at 8 p.m. It took a small army of 32 Lego master builders, housed in a facility in the Czech Republic, to build the 45,980-pound, or 23-ton, Lego ship. It stands 11 feet high and 43 feet long, and contains more than 5 million Lego pieces."

It's in Times Square. Not exactly an obscure location.
Also, totally visible from my desk, which for once made having offices in Times Square not suck.

I think you mean S-foils.You can turn in your nerd card at the door.
"S-foils, also known as Strike foils or Stability foils, and on occasion as X-foils,[1] were movable wings..."
