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

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.

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.

For me putting this together by myself took roughly 38 hours. Part of that was because i was very tired when i started and had never attempted one of the huge Lego builds like this before, so i did not realize that the numbered bags were basically thrown into the four large boxes willy nilly. i ended up with several open large bags of pieces i didnt end up using until halfway through the build. And yes, i heavily facepalmed when i realized this but, really, i am not sure why Lego shipped it this way, considering that the huge AT-AT set they released prior to this, have the four big boxes in the proper order for the build. In any case, this oversight (and minor annoyance) did not deduct anything from my overall rating. The boxes themselves and the instruction manual are very cool, each box having a different quote about the Falcon on it, and the instruction book (which is bound with metal rings due to the huge amount of instructions needed) has several pages dedicated to factoids about the process of building the ship for the actual films. You can tell this set was designed by and for Star Wars fans. The building process is fantastic for the frame, and then intermittently throughout from that point on. So whats the deal? Well, for one thing, in a build of this length, the occasional missing of steps is pretty much inevitable, and this is compounded by the size. If you messed up something in the frame, you may not realize it until hours later when you connect the outer parts to that frame. The instructions are incredibly obtuse at times on what pieces connect where. Seriously, i have been doing Legos, puzzles, etc. avidly for much of my life and i still felt like the diagrams here were nigh worthless at times and it sometimes took trial and error, along with glancing at the instructions repeatedly for 10 minutes to finally fit the pieces in place. Another major issue, is the satisfaction level of the build itself. The frame is so solid and parts of it, like the cockpit and the front prongs, stay together pretty well. However, there are a LOT of sections, both of the underside and especially the top that are essentially resting on the frame and are not really held in place by anything other than gravity. Even moving it in the way shown in the book, you are almost guaranteed to knock pieces off or shift their position and there is then no feasible way to attach them without screwing up other parts. Its like trying to get your laundry from the dryer in your bare hands and a sock falls, and you drop other things trying to pick it up. I guess this is very true to the Falcon in the films though, having random stuff fall off. It DOES look very cool and detailed when finished, although the cockpit should have been bigger. On a ship this size, barely being able to fit Han, Chewie, Leia, and 3PO in the cockpit together is a huge miss, in my opinion. Overall, very dissatisfied with how flimsy the final construction is, but i had an absolute blast putting it together (mostly), and seeing the hugeness of it all finalized was great.

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’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.

Purchased this for Christmas! Our son 11 years old has been asking for it for over 3 years and we figured we should get it now before the retire the design. It’s a lot of money but it’s also a lot of Lego. I’m sure it will not disappoint once Christmas comes around.

I put this purchase off for many years due to the high cost. When it hit $750, I had to pull the trigger. Still expensive but so much fun to build. I love it. Bought the Youfoy stand to display it. Looks awesome!

I bought this for my son for Christmas and was very glad I did. He’s a very advanced lego builder for an 11 year-old, but I was thinking I would have to do the lion’s share of work. He ended up putting it together in about 14 hours over three days. I supervised the build for about three of those hours. Make sure you have a large spot identified to build it on and a place to put it afterwards. This thing is quite fragile and you won’t be moving it from place to place often. The instructions are amazing. It’s a full, spiral-bound book with the history of the Falcon and it’s specs along with the directions. What made this really shine was the custom light kit from Bricksmax we bought separately. My son also put this in and seeing it lit up really adds the final touches. This thing is awesome for stop motion videos which my kids love doing. When they’re done we’ll put it in a stand in our bookshelf and may get the Star Destroyer but it won’t be anywhere near as detailed a set as this is.

When I ordered this set. I really thought that this would come in a nice box. Instead, this came in a larger box but was not protected on the inside. The box itself was scratched up and dinged very badly. For paying as much as I did, I really thought Id receive a nicer box. Otherwise, Im very please with actually receiving the item I purchased.
