Measures 30"x20" (or 96x64 LEGO studs for an area of 6144 studs)

3000 bricks (not all are 1x1 bricks)

Built on six 32x32 baseplates

Building it only took about 3 or 4 hours, but figuring out what pieces to buy took about 5 hours of non stop painstaking arithmetic over an intentionally over-pixelated and palletized image pulled straight from the Empire Strikes Back.
I used blue, black, gray, white, and red bricks in 1x1, 1x2, 2x2, and 2x3 shapes.

What do you think? Did I pull it off?

Make me an offer ;)

Here's a hint: It cost a lot to make. All bricks used were brand new, never played with.
