"This amazing LEGO interpretation of Han Solo’s unforgettable Corellian freighter has all the details that Star Wars fans of any age could wish for, including intricate exterior detailing, upper and lower quad laser cannons, landing legs, lowering boarding ramp and a 4-minifigure cockpit with detachable canopy. I had a good feeling about that!įor those of you still thinking "What the hell is an aluminum falcon?!", I recommend consulting the Wookiepedia. Well, we played a game of Sabacc and when another player thought he was winning, I countered, "Not so fast, it appears I have an Idiot's Array". The Millennium Falcon from the saga has changed owners more than a few times, so you must be wondering how I obtained the Corellian Freighter. I will go into more details about both builds later. Since my parts were stored with other LEGO parts it took forever to find all the pieces, so the build was actually quite tedious. When I got word that I would be getting the new UCS Millennium Falcon, which is simply called 75192 - Millennium Falcon by the way, I felt the need to finish the old one, so I could do a proper comparison. It has been taking up spacein the LEGO room for quite some time. I started working on it a year or two ago, but I never got passed the chassis. After I stored the inventory in boxes I never got around to building that hunk of junk. You never know what can be achieved with a little spray paint.Ĭollecting the parts was actually half (possibly more) of the fun. I did buy black riggings for a couple of cents though. Obviously, I skipped the riggings (80 euros each), the radar dish (60 euro) and the light bluish grey levers (1 euro a pop). Several (a lot) of orders later I got most of the parts. Two failed scam attempts later (in hindsight, they were too good to be true), I still didn't own the pinnacle of LEGO Star Wars vehicles.Īround 2013 I resented not getting the 10179 so much, that I decided to start Bricklinking the parts. At the time I just came back from my dark ages (more info in my 75144 - UCS Snowspeeder Review) and the thought of forking out 500 euro for a LEGO set didn't even make it to the consideration phase. Of course, it still remained the biggest Star Wars LEGO set ever, packing a whopping 5197 pieces. Unfortunately, only a year later the 10189 - Taj Mahal was released, deposing the beforementioned Falcon. For one whole year it was the biggest official LEGO set ever. Ten years ago, the 10179 - Ultimate Colletor's Millennium Falcon made its appearance. Whether it is a worthwhile investment or not, it is sure to bring Star Wars fans many hours of joy.Travel the LEGO® galaxy in the ultimate Millennium Falcon! This big set also comes with a big price tag, $799.99 to be specific. You’ll also see a couple of Porgs which are set to debut in Star Wars: The Last Jedi tis December.
The set will include Han, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO from The Empire Strikes Back as well as an old Han, Rey, Finn and BB-8 from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Given the number of pieces, you can expect a staggering amount of detail which includes an interior with a living room setup with chairs and Dejarik game board. The new set is slated to be 33 inches long, 22 inches wide and 8 inches tall. This 7,541-piece set will exceed 2007’s Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon by more than 2000 pieces! The new set also sets a record for the most pieces any Lego set which was previously held by a LEGO Taj Mahal set, which had 5,922 pieces. Legos may have once been only for kinds, but adults are sure to sit up and take notice of the brand’s new Millennium Falcon set.
