Say hello to our Lego Yoda!


If you've visited the Cuthberts stores in St Albans or the Hatfield Galleria over the last few months you can't have failed to see the giant Lego Yoda that we've been helping to look after. He's certainly been attracting a lot of attention.

Yoda wasn't the result of a group of keen Lego fans being let loose in store though. Featuring a whopping 63,379 bricks (and no we didn't count them to check!) he was originally built by Lego themselves and then brought to site on an articulated truck in sub-section pieces, before the Lego building experts put him together again. My sources also tell me that there might be a bit of glue involved too - just to make sure he always looks his best for his fans.


Yoda is currently residing outside Cuthberts in the Galleria where he will be until the end of July. Make sure you come and say hello before he moves on elsewhere.

    Given an unlimited supply of bricks, I would create a 1:1 scale model of Legoland, Windsor!

    I'd build a lego replica of my house - we have so much lego everywhere at the moment I'm always picking it up / tripping over it so maybe if the whole house was made from it I wouldn't mind so much!

When i say working, i mean so that a 7 year old and 4 year old could work it, but would have to have a working hose, flashing lights, and sirens, plenty of switches and a working radio to get emergency calls on. Oh and easy to drive for boys with little legs!! :)
