, Apr 3rd 2009 Discuss [0]

As awesome, insane, time-consuming LEGO projects go, building a 65,000-brick replica of the space shuttle complete with flashing lights, sound effects and frantic minifig technicians takes some beating.  That's just what was constructed for the Nasu Highland Park amusement park in Japan: the Nasu Space Center.
