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

Loved every minute of the approximately 24 hour build over a month. This set is massive, and easily much more impressive than my UCS AT-AT. Even the instructions book is a massively heavy spiral bound novel. Much more impressive than the 4 separate instruction books from the AT-AT UCS set. Be aware that it is highly fragile, more so than the AT-AT, so don’t expect to be playing with it much. Definitely for adults. The only very minor complaint I have is that it has 7 landing pads, whereas the movie version has 3 or 5 depending on the film. Also, the set is Minifigure scale (I try to have everything in Minifigure scale except for the imperial shuttle) which was a huge sell for me. Except I notice the landing feet are much too tall. In the moves, Han bends down to get under the Falcon, in this one, almost two Minifigures can stand on top of each other. Not a big complaint, but I still think they could have shortened the landing feet and reduced them to 5 to be more accurate to Minifigure scale/movie version. Also for this that have built the AT-AT UCS set, the 4 individual boxes are not in any order. So I had to dump all the plastic packages out, then rearrange them in order. This is the one area they made easier on the AT-AT UCS. Overall, a must buy before it’s gone and you end up paying triple msrp. Although I love my AT-AT UCS, I would say you should easily get this set if you had to choose one over the other.

I had a blast putting the Falcon together. My only issues are the price of course which many complain about, also, my set was missing 1 piece with took LEGO over 2 weeks to get it to me. I only gave 3 stars for sturdiness which is fine with me. I understand a substantial build like this is would not be rock solid.

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

Waited for 5 years to buy this set. Glad I finally did. About 38hrs to build. Great fun and recommend for any lego enthusiast.

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.

My partner and I bought this LEGO set to cut back on evening television watching during the COVID shelter-in-place restrictions, and now dedicate a couple of nights per week to building this LEGO project together. Sortof like some people play cards or put together puzzles. Its a fun way to feel productive, and to connect without the distraction of television. Were now well on our way to finishing building this incredible Millennium Falcon model and cant wait to proudly display it! The book not only contains very detailed step by step instructions, but also a lot of nice history regarding Star Wars origins. This set is really awesome and is sure to keep you busy for weeks (if not months). Awesome project!

Costly

Great project, definitely challenging at times but very rewarding. Took about 50 hours and we’ll worth it

I’m a advanced Lego builder. I’ve built the new Eiffel Tower, titanic, castles etc. But this is one of the most mentally draining builts I think I’ve ever done. Firstly, nothing is tight. The pieces fall so easily, and bigger pieces are held together sometimes only with one brick. And on top of all that, most parts you have to add involve flipping the falcon over. That causes so many pieces to fall off! So I’ve gotten used to putting them on without flipping the falcon over, which is very hard considering the falcon is only lifted a few inches. Ignoring all this, the falcon is pretty big and really incredible, but I still wish that the falcon wasn’t so fragile.
