The short answer
It is the biggest film creature the LEGO Group has ever sold as a set.
Ten film sets have more pieces, and every one of them is a building, a ship or a vehicle.

It is the Godzilla of Legendary’s Monsterverse films. The head, arms, legs and tail all move, down to the shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers. A tongue piece and a heat ray swap in at the mouth, for the roar with the head thrown back. For scale, a LEGO® minifigure reaches only to its ankle.
Anyone who buys it at LEGO.com or a LEGO® Store from 27 to 30 November, while stocks last, also gets a small set as a gift: the Godzilla Logo and Footprint (40888, 359 pieces). It is the Godzilla logo on a little city, with Mothra on one of the buildings, and a brick footprint the size of the big model’s foot.
Where did it come from?
It began as a fan design on LEGO® Ideas, the LEGO Group’s site where anyone can put forward a set. Matthew Esposito, a fan designer from New York, posted it; it reached the 10,000 supporters an idea needs, and the LEGO® Ideas review board chose it. The LEGO Group’s designers then reworked it into the set.
The two are nearly the same age. Godzilla opened in cinemas across Japan on 3 November 1954, and the set was announced on its 72nd birthday. That same year in Denmark, LEGO® bricks got their first windows and doors, which clipped into slots in the side of the bricks: the bricks of the time had no tubes inside, and the studs-and-tubes brick that builds Godzilla was still four years away.
How do you display a 70 cm model?
Find the space first. Godzilla needs about 27 × 40 cm of floor and more than 70 cm of height with the heat ray fitted. That is taller than the gap between most bookcase shelves, and deeper than the shelves themselves, so it usually ends up on top of a sideboard or a chest of drawers, or on a shelf of its own.
Keep the dust off. A model this size, with fins, scales and open joints, collects dust in every gap. A clear acrylic case is the easy answer. Makers sell cases cut to fit big sets, usually soon after the set comes out; for Godzilla, look for one at least 75 cm tall inside. Search Amazon for a case for 21375 (Amazon).
Keep it out of the sun. Strong sunlight fades bricks and turns white ones yellow over the years. A spot away from a window keeps the colours as they came out of the box.
Dust it gently. A soft make-up brush or a camera blower reaches between the scales without pulling anything off.
Move it by the base. The joints that let it pose are also where it comes apart. Lift it from underneath, never by the tail or the arms. For a house move, take it apart into its main sections and bag each one.
What if you take it apart one day?
A 5,363-piece model that goes back into a tub, or gets mixed with other sets, is a long sort. Keeping it in its own box helps; how to store your sets so they stay together covers ways to do that. If it does get mixed up, sorting a mixed pile back into sets shows how to get it back.
BrickSorter is a phone app for that: you add the sets in the pile by their numbers, such as 21375, and it shows one piece at a time and the tub it goes in. It is coming to the App Store and Google Play.
