These are being given away with Jetix magazine in the UK. There’s a very similar photo in the magazine itself. It says something about setting a new record – for minifigs in one room, or something – but nothing about the charitable link. Maybe they thought autism was a bit heavy to lay on the readership.

Okay, when I bought 28 rebel troopers I thought that was alot for anybody, but this proves me wrong there must be 100 people atleast working on this project… so 35,310 legos divided by 100= about 353 per person!

I wish Americans could be this generous to autistic star wars lovers, because my town has more than a few autistic kids.

The closest thing I have to a uniform army is six imperial soldiers. (…or about 11 Harry Potters…)

@The Rev: Indeed. My comment was meant jokingly, of course, and simply referred to the numbers involved. ;-)

I’m right with you on quality over quantity.

I suppose there's something mildly impressive about grouping together 35,000 of the same LEGO stock minifigure, but to me LEGO is all about the creative recombination of parts. So I'm much more taken with Moko's Golden army or even a single brilliant custom minifig (Michael Jasper's come to mind) than something like this. That's not to say anything against raising money for a good cause, of course. I'm just responding to the (probably half-joking) comment about this display putting Moko's to shame.
