A question: Will the touring Yoda have a final resting place that anyone knows of? I saw in these pics (URL) this sculpture has some history. Couple the signatures, the fact it commemerates the release of Star Wars Episode II and the new lego line (...)

I was told by one of the Lego Events people that it will be going to Canada next. Where in Canada? I don't know. The event person I spoke to did not know where they were going after Canada. Just wish I had been able to get the pictures of the (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.legoland.california)

(...) From what I have been told by others who have been lucky enough to visit the LEGO's sculpture dept. most (95%) big sculptures used in displaye/events/etc.. end up getting boxed and stored away. When Tim C. (from www.ldraw.org) visited the (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Ahui - Latest I heard, I think from a model designer there, they recently went through the process of getting rid of a lot of old models they were never going to re-use. I don't remember details, but for some reason this sticks in my mind. -Tim (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) A little further to this.... I helped dis-assemble the Yoda when it was in NYC. I helped pack it up onto skids as well. If I recall correctly, there were 3 or 4 skids full of the bricks used to make the sculpture (plus the light saber--which (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Since the 2x10 bricks I've got from the LLC shop appear played with, I speculate they came from a sculpture... maybe the ultimate resting place is the bulk bins at LLC. (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) This is crazy. With all the AFOLs around, not to mention parents with money, why isn't TLC auctioning off these sculptures? They could donate the proceeds (or part of the proceeds) to a children's charity of some sort. From a PR stand point (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Hi Gabe, That could certainly be the case. I think I am correct in stating that we came to our own conclusions regarding the bricks used for sculptures turning up at LLC as bulk bricks. TLC could very well be doing as you mentioned. Thanks (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.starwars)
