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

I’m not sure how to gauge the thickness of warmth of a LEGO set ... but I will say the box is pretty thick and it made me all warm and fuzzy unboxing it. For that alone I felt it deserved all 5 stars in both categories. As for value for money, I only gave it that rating since I was able to get it for 40% off on Black Friday. Just a warning : definitely pay attention to the size of the build. It’s all fun and games until you’re done and don’t really have a good place to put it. I had to sacrifice my office desk until I could find another table just to mount it.

I guess my disappointment is my own problem, but I had expected something far more inwardly detailed than what Lego ended up creating. The base is a husk that is sometimes pockmarked with known details, and then littered with Lego junk everywhere else. Once you get it all put together, you can lift odd sections of the “roof” to reveal some of the important locations, but none of the connecting tissue exists. From a distance, this puzzle looks complete, until you find that inside the corridors are simple stickers thereby negating the need to build them. There’s a lot of hollow room inside, room that exists simply as structure, but could have been form AND function with a few more pieces. Sure, to get an accurately sized model, it’d need to be twice this size, which should tell you just how big the actual falcon would have to be. Is this good? Sure? Is it awesome? For those that didn’t put it together and just see it, yes. For the person that wants a fully fleshed out falcon, this isn’t it at all. Personally if I hadn’t been drinking tequila and thinking “this will be amazing” then I likely never would have hit purchase and I would have been better for it. Lego could have done better. But they didn’t. And that is not worth nearly a thousand dollars.

It was a fun assembly over several days, and the final result looks great. Tons of greebling. Most of the build techniques were not particularly mind blowing, though there were some interesting techniques used to support its massive size. Overall, an improvement over the previous version. I disliked how the top and bottom surfaces mostly just lay on (or hang from) the frame of the assembly. The arent well tied together, so the rear part of the ship looks unfinished. But ultimately, its too big. The idea of a 7500 piece Lego set sounds amazing, but the sheer size takes away a lot. It took up my whole coffee table hanging over the sides. I couldnt find any kind of shelf or side table to put it on. If you wanted to hang it, or even put it at an angle, youd have to glue it together. I disassembled mine, put it back in its cavernous box and will eventually sell it. If you are a die-hard Star Wars and Lego fan, and are willing to pay the Disney tax, it might be for you. Be prepared to set aside a room in your house. For other Lego fans, there are lots of big 2000-4000 piece sets I would recommend instead. Get two or four of those for the cost of the UCS Falcon.

I finally finished building this beauty!! It took me over a month, but I was in no rush and had to divide my time between work and family time. You definitely have to have a place for it to sit WHILE you build, let alone display. Be aware, although the frame is pretty solid, when you start to add all the outer layers this set still has quite a bit of give when handling and moving. A lot of the top pieces sit using gravity to hold them in place. There are little spaces and gaps here and there, but if you’ve built other UCS sets before, this should be no surprise.Considering the amount of pieces and the total weight, I find this acceptable. I only mention this because it will definitely take away the “swoosh ability “ factor. Darn. Of course, at the end of the day, or late night, she is absolutely a stunning piece of work to behold. The detail is amazing! You really need to see it for yourself.

I have no idea where Im going to put it when Im done beautiful set

I got mine 4/3 and started in, only a few days off here and there. I have completed to date (4/26) 6 of the 17 bag sets. The table is 36x36 inches. The instruction book alone weighs 6lbs

Great build, love the set. Shipping was less than ideal. Box was smashed upon delivery. Wasnt packaged in a shipping box, just a label on the actual item package. Spending this kind of money on a set, ill be buying from lego direct in the future.

As a huge Star Wars fan, I felt compelled to get this expensive set as opposed to the recent, $150 Millenium Falcon. The set is indeed amazing, great for a collection piece, lots of details. Some things I wish I Knew before buying it 1) Definitely for display, not really for play. Why? Bc its huge, it weights a lot, and bc of the size, it is not very sturdy. Other lego ships I feel like they are extremely sturdy (Slave 4, multiple other smllaer ones), but the Millennium falcon is not very sturdy. The majority of the top flaps come off actually so you can see some of the inside. However, bc they come off, it makes the set less sturdy 2) be extremely careful when you are assembling, as it is almost impossible to disassemble and go back. Bc I did not realize that it wasnt very sturdy, I left my set on the bed, it toppled, and I had to rebuild parts of it. Not a pleasant experience. Assemble carefully 3) treat it with care. Again, bc its huge and the top flaps come off, not very sturdy. This is the set to make people wonder, but not really meant to be moved around a lot.

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

Good: This is an architecture marvel. I cant even imagine the engineering that went into figuring out how all the pieces came together. Bad: This set had a lot of wrong/ missing pieces (I count at least 12). For example, a step will say to add a 1x2 dark gray tile piece, but there are no dark gray pieces left in the numbered bags, so I had to use a light gray piece instead. Or a step will say to add a 1x1 dark gray tile piece, but there are none in the current bags so I have to use a left-over one from a previous step. And I didnt care for the blind connections: the step would basically say this section goes on this section without clear directions about how the yellow axle piece should fit into a specific stud. Sure, its probably logical where the part should go, but it would have been better if there was some sort of cut-away view to make it clearer. And I dont understand the organization of the steps. For example, step 1 will say to connect a 2x6 black piece to a 2x10 gray piece. Then step 2 will be to add a 2x4 red piece to the the 2x10 gray piece. Why not combine these into 1 step? Then step 10 will be a sub-assembly of 5 steps (repeated twice) and put into place. Why not split into 10 steps? Then step 20 will say to connect 3 1x1 brown tiles pieces, 2 1x1 black pieces, 4 1x4 tan pieces, and 2 1/2 gray pieces. That could 11 pieces in 1 step. After all, the set has 1,379 steps, so why not reorganize these a little bit?
