![‘Pizza Time Fighter’ 🕸️🍕🕸️
Had tonnes of fun designing this #SpiderMan and TIE Fighter mash-up for the latest #LegoIdeas build challenge ‘Hope Assembles’, where #StarWars meets Marvel.
Friend or foe, and no matter where you are in the galaxy, Spider-Man is happy to deliver a slice of New York City pizza in his converted TIE Fighter. Feeling spicy? Push the black olive button, and fire delicious NYC pizzas at the Empire!
P.S. You still have 15 days to enter, and there are three different challenges to choose from (vehicle, scene or character).
[Image Description:
