Calling all Super Heroes and Super-Villains to The Art of the Brick: DC Comics, exclusive to the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney. Created by legendary LEGO® artist Nathan Sawaya, this contemporary art exhibition uses over a million bricks to create more than 120 large-scale sculptures of the most enduring Super Heroes and Super-Villains: from Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, to The Joker and Harley Quinn. Spread across 10 distinct galleries, it is the world’s largest collection of DC Comics-inspired LEGO artwork, ever! The Art of the Brick: DC Comics showcases Sawaya’s interpretations on characters, vehicles, environments and themes found throughout the DC Comics mythology including transformation and reinvention, strength and weakness, as well as good vs. evil. Get ready to inspire the hero within! Due to popular demand, this exhibition has been extended until Monday 13 June 2016. NEW SCULPTURE ADDED TO THE EXHIBITION: A new, large-scale sculpture made from over 30,000 LEGO® bricks has been unveiled for the final weeks of the exhibition.
Called ‘Showdown’, it features an epic confrontation between Batman and Superman and its release coincides with the Australian launch of Warner Bros. Pictures film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

It includes Luke Skywalker, Ben Kenobi, C-3PO, R2-D2, A Sandtrooper, and a Security Droid. The speeder is small in size, comparable to the Republic Snow Speeder in the set 8085. The design is not symmetrical, as the left engine is missing its housing. The speeder itself seats two minifigures, and for controls, the landspeeder has a single steering wheel. At the back, the top engine and the small platform that it rests on, can be removed to reveal a hidden compartment used for storing the included lightsabers. It is functional, albeit small, and requires the blades to be removed from the hilts before the weapons can fit within the compartment.
Of the six minifigures included in this set, four are exclusive. Luke Skywalker was previously available with this design in the 2008 set 10188 Death Star, but is only available here with pupils printed on his face. The same goes for Ben Kenobi, who also has a slightly redesigned face. Both come with blue chrome-handled lightsabers. The Sandtrooper features a new, black shoulder pauldron and a new backpack, dissimilar to the standard Sandtroopers which only have an orange pauldron. This set is one of very few ways to get the newest version of R2-D2 and C-3PO for less money than some of the larger sets. The Sentry Droid is entirely brick-built, and features a clear stand to appear as if floating or flying. Luke's landspeeder was a civilian X-34 landspeeder manufactured by SoroSuub. The speeder featured holographic displays, a computer for navigation, and many repulsorlift counterbalances for a smooth, easy ride. The speeder had no weapons mounts and retailed for roughly 10,500 credits.
The X-34's average altitude during travel was about 10 cm above the surface of the planet. Luke purchased his speeder from Jabba the Hutt. Interest in the X-34 waned when SoroSuub released the newer, sleeker model, the XP-38 landspeeder. Luke Skywalker sold his old X-34 for 2,000 credits in order to pay the fare for Han Solo to fly him and Ben Kenobi off Tatooine in the Millennium Falcon.Do not modify it. Adventure on Tatooine…where it all began!

Are these the droids he’s looking for? Special Edition set every serious collector must have Includes Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, R2-D2, C-3PO and sandtrooper
