Lego Yoda Santa Comes To San Francisco

Today November 18th, the public is invited to visit San Francisco’s Union Square and see Lego Yoda being built by Lego’s master model builders. The finished model will be 12-foot-tall, 10-foot-wide Yoda sporting a custom Santa Suit just in time for the Holidays. More than 6,000 oversized LEGO bricks, created from the smaller classic LEGO building blocks, will be used to construct the model. Yoda will only be hanging around for a short time so be sure to get to San Francisco if you can to check it out!

The event promotes the launch of the new LEGO Santa Yoda Web site which will be used to donate a million Lego toys to the U.S. Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots program. The site will also be giving away a series of prizes including a 2-foot-tall Santa Yoda. From Nov. 21 through Dec. 24 Lego said it will donate a toy to the Marines’ program for every e-greeting shared on the Santa Yoda site as well, so go do some good and geek out!
