Yes these are difficult. I actually spent about 45 min counting the Yoda in
Target, then I re-counted on a different day and was off by 2 bricks. So I
put in about 4 guesses for each number within 20 bricks. I was around 570
pcs...the actual number is 840. The only thing I can gues is that Yoda is
solid which obviously makes it near impossible to use my lame
"counting/cheating" method. I guess it serves me right trying to rob the
kiddies of their fun.
Also Legoland CA has a Vader and R2-D2 in front of the Big Store. Vader's
cape is cloth though which I think is kind of a cheat.

I agree that it's fun. As for the Vader...I thought the R2-D2 was much
better. I'm just sorry that I didn't take any pictures of them.
