With just about any other LEGO kit review, taking an in-depth look to cover a set’s packaging and unboxing would be fairly unnecessary. Unboxing the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy | The question of whether or not the UCS Millennium Falcon is worthy of its $800 price tag lingered in my mind throughout the build, something that at the end of the day I find justified, but more on that later. The 31 lb starfighter includes some of the most well thought out and ingenious techniques I’ve seen in my decade and a half with the hobby.Īnd even though the Falcon stacks up to over 7,500 bricks, the set designers have leveraged every piece one of the most detail-packed builds -LEGO or otherwise - I have ever had the pleasure of assembling. Over the 30+ hours it took to assemble the massive model, I found myself marveling at such trivial parts of the model, from the internal frame and underside to the litany of greebles scattered throughout the ship. Comprised of 7,541 pieces, LEGO has clearly put a lot of love into its largest and most detailed kit to date. It’s hard to explain just how grand of a LEGO kit the UCS Millennium Falcon really is. From miniature models in advent calendars to 2007’s first crack at a doing the iconic justice. Now just over a decade later, LEGO is trying its hand at the ionic ship with set 75192. Since debuting the Star Wars line of kits back in 1999, LEGO has introduced over 10 different Millennium Falcons over the years. After being dethroned by 2008’s Taj Mahal, the latest rendition of the Millennium Falcon has managed to reclaim its spot for largest LEGO set produced after nearly a decade. The original UCS Falcon had become many LEGO collectors White Whale, and as costs continued to soar on the classic model, the 2007 version became harder and harder for fans to get their hands on. And despite its luxury $800 price tag, this kit is what many die-hard LEGO and Star Wars fans had been desiring. But for most of 2017, was one of the harder to find kits in the of those on store shelves. What do you do with it when you're done? I'm not sure.LEGO launched its latest in the line of Ultimate Collector’s sets, the Millennium Falcon, officially back in September. Another option is to team up with some friends to build it all together after you each pitch in. I have never used one, but it allows you to build the set at least. You can use one of the various brick rental services on the web. If you are in a position where you can do it, go for it! If not, there are a few other options. I was financially able to using some VIP points and profits from my store so it didn't hurt my wallet much. I enjoyed the build and am glad I bought it. Also, you have to decide what to do with it when you are done. The price per piece is decent and the build experience was fantastic (in my opinion), but you have to weigh whether you want to spend $800 (or more with tax) if you buy one of these. Should you buy this one? It's pretty pricey. I realize I'm not the first one to post a review, but one more opinion doesn't hurt.
