LEGO® House: LEGO® Star Wars™ exhibition

Throughout 2019, the LEGO® House will be celebrating 20 Years of the Star Wars™ line. The special display is located in the History Collection in the basement. If you look at my post on the History Collection, I mention that there is a walk way that you take in a square (or maybe rectangle) to see the history. In the center of that shape is a space with a lot of the old and current sets on display. Well on either side of the room is the Star Wars™ display. I had seen some pictures online and you could see the display clearly. The owners of that site obviously took their camera right up to the glass because you can’t see it clearly in person. Here’s what you see on either side of the room (below). Really? So you have to peer through the slots to see everything.

This is the only picture I have of the sets on display. I didn’t take any close up pictures as it’s just some of the sets as selected by various LEGO® Designers. Each set has a card by it explaining why the designer thought the particular set was their favorite.

On the opposing wall is this sign with a similar glass pattern. LEGO® borrowed a collection and put them on display. I wonder if he got anything in return? Anyways, I did take a few pictures of the minifigures.

The display is set up by year. At the top of each column is the year the minifigures came out. The initial years have only a few and as the years go on, more minifigures appear until you get closer to today and it’s jam packed with various minifigures. I didn’t count them and the sign just says more than 1,000. Where does he put them all?

Anyways, if you get to the LEGO® House in 2019, it’s worth a few minutes of your time to go check out the Star Wars™ display for the minifigures alone. There are quite a few there and it’s pretty cool to see… if you can find the right slot in the glass to peek through.

Happy building!

Any only 1 minifigure in 2001?
