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.

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.

Before purchasing this set, I read a lot of reviews on Amazon. Some said the set was very fragile, but after building it, I have to say that this is simply not the case at all. If you follow the directions closely and build it as instructed, this set is very sturdy. The main structural frame is extremely well designed with multiple redundancies to prevent it from coming apart (the technic pieces play a large part with this). Of course, the exterior is so well detailed with so many tiny pieces, that some of these will fall off if handled incorrectly, but as long as you dont drop the set, you dont need to worry about anything important falling apart. Not much detail work is put into the bottom of the ship - while one can view this as a drawback, it really helps with carrying the set around as you can just wrap your arms underneath without fear of disturbing any fragile sections. This Millennium Falcon is a gorgeous set to look at and a challenging build. Well worth the $800 price tag!

I won this hunk of junk in a card game. Fastest ship in the galaxy if you ask me. A little rough around the edges but hey it’s got a working Dejarik board so that’s sweet. Has panels for hiding stuff from Imperial inspections and the seats in the cockpit recline a good amount. Easily meets the advertised 12 parsec jump time. Downsides: she’s real ugly. If your trying to get a date with like a princess or something, she’s probably not going to be too impressed. And there’s this distinctive wet Wookie smell eminating from it. Not sure if it’s something a couple dozen air fresheners can take care of or not.

Difficult build, amazing detail!

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.

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!

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.

If you buy this, you obviously arent thinking about the price (otherwise you wouldnt buy it). So, putting price aside, this is really fun to build and makes a great display/conversation piece, especially when placed next to the UCS Star Destroyer. A couple of things to note: this thing is HEAVY (for a LEGO set), so when moving around, two carefully-placed (adult) hands are definitely required. Granted Ive not moved it very much, but thus far Ive found it pretty sturdy -- just have to be careful. And, what should be obvious, this is certainly not for kids; while I would have loved this as a kid, I also would have never been able to put it together: the instructions arent difficult per se, but you have to work through them very, very carefully -- a single misplaced piece can ruin your otherwise happy day. May the Force Be With You.

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!
