Chicagoist is a website about Chicago You don't have to be a gearhead to be gobsmacked at the Chicago Auto Show—although there's a distinct possibility that the industry's bells-and-whistles-loaded parade of new-model vehicles and concept cars will transform you into one. Part of the fun at each annual CAS, which this year runs from February 11 - 20, at McCormick Place, are the novelty vehicles, of course. And this year doesn't disappoint, with Nissan's Star Wars SUV model and the life-size Lego Batmobile leading the way. Plenty of other offerings are nearly as eye-grabbing, from impossibly sleek sports cars courtesy of Porsche, Alfa Romeo and many other makes to a fuel-cell car that looks designed more for interstellar travel than roadway use (Toyota's FCV Plus)—not to mention several seriously envy-inducing test tracks. Scroll through above for some of the best and flashiest. Build a variety of large and small projects from the LEGO Star Wars collection! Campers will earn their Jedi certification through fun, active Star Wars themed games and challenges.
At the end of the day, campers will be able to purchase the kits they worked on at our cost. If 2 campers want the same kit, we will have a drawing.

Thanks to everyone for your positive feedback! Make sure to also check out our website where you can play the organ yourself, and hear the original sound, at: For further viewing pleasure, I've also added some more hi res photos from the construction and another video with eyecandy at the bottom of the post. May the bricks be with you! The 3D premiere of Star Wars - Episode 1 in early 2012 was a cinematographic milestone for the Star Wars saga - and the right time for LEGO to explore a new dimension, too: Together with certified LEGO professional Rene Hoffmeister, we developed and constructed a way to turn LEGO bricks into music - using the basic concept of a barrel organ. We took the iconic Star Wars Main Theme, rearranged it and translated it into a matrix - the constrution blueprint for the organ. Then, we took the four most famous Star Wars worlds - Hoth, Tatooine, Endor and the Death Star - and built them on to the barrel, accordingly to the musical composition.
When the organ is turned, the bricks touch mechanical sensors - these strike the keys of a built-in keyboard and play the Star Wars Main Theme. Around the time of the Star Wars 3D premiere, BUILDERS OF SOUND was exhibited in cinemas all over Germany, free for everyone to play. Right now, the organ is touring several LEGO events and will be permanently installed in LEGOLAND Germany later in 2012.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Huge, movie-accurate smuggling starship The Bad: Construction requires extreme diligence and patience In a Nutshell: This iconic Star Wars model is sure to wow collectors and Lego enthusiasts At a Glance Ages: 16 and older Detailed, Movie-Accurate Design The most iconic vessel in the Star Wars universe, the smuggler Han Solo won the Millennium Falcon from fellow rogue Lando Calrissian in a game of sabacc. Every detail of this famous, modified Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1300 freighter is packed into this model, which is constructed to scale. LEGO mini-figures of Han Solo, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia Organa are included, so you can really replay your favorite scenes. Start off by testing your skills as a pilot and see if you can navigate the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, the way Han Solo claims to. Later, you'll want to stage an attack on the dangerous Death Star. Huge, spectacular, and movie-accurate, the Millennium Falcon is the ultimate center piece of any Star Wars or Lego collection.
When completed, this model is over 33-inches long, 22-inches wide, and eight-inches tall. Rotating top- and bottom-mounted quad-laser turrets, a radar dish that rotates and can be elevated, and a boarding ramp that can be extended are just some of the cool features included in this model. You can seat a crew of four mini-figures at the controls in the removable cockpit. And landing gear provides a stable base for model to stand on. Building Your Own Millennium Falcon With 5,196 Lego pieces, the Millennium Falcon took more than 50 hours to construct. Split between two adult builders and several days, these hours provided a fun time to chat and reminisce about favorite Star Wars moments. We imagine that having the original trilogy playing in the background might have motivated us to construct this starship even faster. A huge percentage of the pieces come in shades of gray, and approaching construction requires a bit of organization and discipline. This means that building the Millennium Falcon is not a project for the faint of heart, but detailed, step-by-step instructions help ensure that construction is a relatively straightforward process, despite the complexity of the finished model.
