LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Millennium Falcon 75192 - Expert Building Set and Starship Model Kit, Movie Collectible, Featuring Classic Figures and Han Solos Iconic Ship, Best Gift for Adults

Update: FINALLY built this set and it is an AMAZING build! Some notes about how this is packaged. if you purchase this set pay close attention to the tape that seals the box. One side is red and the other green to note open on the green taped side. This puts the manual at the top of the box so it is easily lifted out. Open the box with that side up to prevent the manual from falling out and possibly damaging pages. One the manual is removed, four boxes are located inside with each containing 1/4 of the Millennium Falcon pictured when the boxes are together. One each box is a quote from STAR WARS about the Falcon. Each of the four boxes contains sets of bags. Surprisingly the bags arent in order by box. There are 17 bags for the set. The Lego 1989 Batmobile has 24 bags with less than half the pieces of the Falcon. There are multiple bags for each number so there could be 4 to 5 bags labeled as bag 1. So MANY more bags than just 17 technically. They at least kept all the same numbered bags in the same box so you will find all of bag 1 in a single box and not some in one box and the remainder in others. You will find like bag 1 in one box but bag 2 in another. There are also some unmarked bags for some of the larger and higher count pieces. The first two bags build the frame. Bags 3-9 build out the internal components of the ship and the outside outline of the ship. The hull of the ship top and underneath is assembled in in sections and independent of the frame so you can set aside the large frame as the hull is assembled and installed in sections until the end of the build. The manual as well as videos on the Lego site show how to carry/relocate the set. Caution should be exercised in carrying it or the integrity of the build can be affected or parts can crumble away. Top hull simply lay on in sections are have one technic piece that fits into another technic piece in the frame. The detail looks amazing. it is a display piece and it not for play as some Lego can be. There are some MOC instructions or Lego stands are available to display this beast on its side but the landing feet typically mist be removed to do so. There are also plexiglass of plastic stands out there are well. it certainly will take up less space displaying on its side but if there is room and in my opinion it looks great in landed position. Its not the biggest Lego in piece count anymore since the Coliseum was released but it does still seem to hold the record for the most expensive set and may also occupy more space than the Coliseum. I have not purchased the USC Star Destroyer but think the Falcon is a much better set because ti does have internal details. The Star Destroyer is $100 less with a much higher price per piece. More than likely the higher per piece is due to the number large pieces involved. Theres way more detail to the Falcon than Star Destroyer so the Falcon has a higher recommendation in my opinion. If you youre an avid Lego fan and dont mind the price, its recommended to pick this up while its still available and at regular pricing (at least directly from Lego) before it retires. Original: I have to admit, it hasnt been built yet. Currently it is saved either as a collectible or the ultimate build when the time is right but the set is amazingly huge. The box is approximately 25-30lbs. up until the Lego Colosseum was released, it was the largest Lego set by piece count. It may still hold the record as the most expensive set released to date and possibly the largest in size/diameter. That may take a little more measuring to ensure thats the case but over 7500 pieces is amazing. It comes in a large square box with three smaller boxes with printed images inside. Surprisingly it has only 19 bags for this many pieces. The Lego 1989 Batmobile has approximately 3300 pieces and has 24 bags. Instructions for handling this beast are given. There are only certain ways to pick it up and move it around so its not designed to be a play set. Some MOC creators design stands to display it on its side for better viewing and to take up less display space. Thats an option if you want to take this set on but have limited space to display. Picked this up at normal pricing as many sellers are now overpricing this set that is still available from Lego and has not retired yet.

You already know if a $800 box of plastic bricks that will resemble the Millennium Falcon when finished is something up your alley. If you are that sort of person, you wont be disappointed in it. Thing is massive. The instructions actually have images to show you how to properly lift it and move it around. I clocked roughly 21 hrs total build time. Im not sure if thats fast or slow. Make sure you not only have somewhere spacious to build it but also somewhere in mind to put it before starting. One look at the manual (see pic) when you take it out of the box and youll get an idea of what youre in for.

Got this on a may 4th sale. Love it, but the box was hashed by delivery seller people, wink wink. Make sure you select gift wrapping, I feel so dumb for not.

Costly

This was the best lego I have built so far. The instructions were clear and the pieces fit perfectly. It took 3 weeks of part time building to complete. I have done the Imperial Star Destroyer and all the Technic cars. The Effiel Tower is next.

Ridiculously expensive but a thoroughly enjoyable build. I have found it somewhat difficult to move safely once assembled.

It’s huuuuge. But. It’s a little older model so each bag is actually multiple bags. Bag 1 is actually 4 bags with a 1 on it. I’m fine with it but it’s probably more difficult for newer builders who are used to smaller bags and easier steps. Also when I say big, u need a big workspace, the model itself is large enough while building but the instruction manual is humongous

My boyfriend is a Star Wars fan and saw Amazon selling this when it had just come back in stock. It came in a very large box so be prepared for that. None of the pieces were missing and it all assembled together nicely. He’s still very excited about it to this day and raves to his friends and family about it. If you can get it for a good price when it’s in stock, I highly recommend!

Obviously quite expensive, but so much fun. Very detailed and intricate build. Highly recommend for any Star Wars/Legos fan.

I mean where do you even start with this? This is an AMAZING build, I had so much fun building this and was up way too late for a lot of nights working on it. There is SO much detail throughout the entire set, it is so well thought out and the attention to every little detail is awesome. Take lots of pictures throughout the build to reference later if you need to put something back Be prepared to spend a ton of time building this, I dont think I even really know how much time I spent on it, but every minute of it was so much fun. I finished it ~13 days after I started it, but I worked on it in the morning, during breaks and at night after the kids went to bed. I highly suggest getting some trays to put the pieces into for each step, I bought (2) trays and would open the bags and put all the larger parts into one of the trays and the smaller parts into the other tray and that really sped up the process. I only started that on maybe day 3 and it was a lot smoother once I did. The other big suggestion that I have would be to look ahead a few steps in the instructions each time you are starting a new piece/section; there were a couple times you could build duplicates of pieces, but it only showed you on the last step. That didnt happen very many times, usually the first step would show you x2 and you could build the multiple pieces at the same time, but I definitely got caught by that at least once. Make sure you have a big area to build, I used a larger coffee table to build on and the couch to keep the unopened bags on. If you have small kids be careful, there are lots of small parts around during the build and it would be easy for them to get ahold of them. A lot of people asked me what was the point of all the detail on the inside of the Millennium Falcon once the top was on. Each of the panels comes off the top to expose all the details on the inside, so you can take a look at things later or leave a couple panels off if you want to. I would recommend taking pictures when you are assembling those sections of where the connecting rods go so you remember how to put it back together when you do that them off. There is definitely a certain order it needs to be done in so that all the pieces lay properly. If you are going to get a stand or case, know that all of them require you to remove if not all of the landing pads most of the landing pads, which kind of sucks, but it definitely helps with the foot print in the end if you are going to display it. Overall I highly recommend this set if you are into Star Wars and enjoy a more complicated build. I had a lot of fun building it and love having it to display in my office!
