In news released today it seems that LEGO, in conjunction with Bright Bricks and Titan Publishing, are offering one lucky child the chance to have their dream LEGO Star Wars bedroom made real. Launched officially through today's issue of Titan's Star Wars Comic, kids are being invited to design an intergalactic bedroom for themselves, made entirely from LEGO. This is to celebrate the fact that this year sees the 15th anniversary of the first LEGO Star Wars set.
Has it really been 15 years?
So... Super Star Destroyer bed, anyone? We think this sounds brilliant and will keeping an eye on the competition as it unfolds throughout March. The closing date is the 2nd April, with the winning design being revealed in the 1st May issue of the comic - just in time for Star Wars day on May 4th (be with you).
