Forget the world’s largest gingerbread house. We have all heard the phrase “It takes a village” and a gingerbread village is exactly what we have here. It is on display at Texas A&M University. Let’s all crash the party. Gingerbread houses for everyone.
The world’s largest gingerbread village was created by New York Chef Jon Lovitch. This village consists of 152 houses and 65 trees and weighs over 1.5 tons. It is made up of 500 pounds of gingerbread, 400 pounds of candy and 2,240 pounds of icing. That’s enough to give everyone who even looks at it a stomach ache.
It cost a few thousand dollars to complete, but it is now in the Guinness Book of World Records, so it was well worth it. It is too neat to eat, and anyway where would you start?
Ewoks. They aren’t quite Jar Jar but…Well, love them or hate them, they know how to deal with Imperials on their forest moon. LEGO is releasing The Ewok Village, a beautifully detailed 1,990 brick model complete with traps, hideouts, and even an elevating throne (for 3PO of course.). The set even comes with 16 minifigs so you can relive all your favorite Endor scenes.
It’s pretty awesome. The set comes with five Ewoks, C-3PO, Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, two Rebels, two Scout Troopers, and two Storm Troopers. The Ewoks are Wicket, Teebo, Chief Chirpa, Logray and a fifth un-named Ewok.
There are also weapons included like a lightsaber, three blasters, two rifles, two spears, a bow and crossbow, and two staffs, so the Ewoks can poke things. This is one awesome set if you love Endor. It will retail for $249.99(USD) and coming this September at LEGO Stores and online at the LEGO Shop.
