A huge Star Wars X-Wing spaceship has landed on New York's Times Square.

It's actually a replica of one flown in the famed movie franchise and represents the largest model ever made by Danish toy company Lego.

Unveiled on Thursday, the spectacular structure consists of more than 5.3 million of the company's multi-coloured plastic bricks, weighs almost 46,000 pounds (20,865 kilograms) and took 32 builders about 17,000 hours to put together.
