GKS Celebrates LEGO Star Wars Day – 10.10.09

If you’re like me, you grew up loving LEGO (and still love it). You also no doubt love Star Wars, one of the greatest film-franchises of all time. Well it’s no mystery that for years these two power-houses of love have come together in what could be the greatest amalgamation of fun known to man. I’m talking of course, about LEGO Star Wars products.

This Saturday, October 10th, marks your chance to celebrate all things LEGO Star Wars with the grand release of LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary, a gorgeous print compendium chronicling the life and history of LEGO Star Wars up to now.

The LEGO® brand and Star Wars® are two of the world’s most well-recognized and successful franchises, and have been collaborating since the 1999 release of the first LEGO Star Wars mini-figures. DK joins the party with the exquisitely photographed and minutely annotated Visual Dictionary, complete with exclusive mini-figure! – Visit the book’s official home on the web

The fine folks at DK Publishing have not only put together a really cool book, but they’re making this Saturday, 10.10.09, a day to show your love for LEGO and Star Wars in the flesh, at live events all across America. Be sure to check out the live event in your area – there will be tons of LEGO Star Wars goodness! Meet real-life Star Wars characters, from the 501st Legion!
