LEGO STAR WARS UCS MILLENNIUM FALCON – BAG #3 This is another testament to the actual scale of the ship that gets revealed over time.
Extensive paneling is added later to the underside of the vessel, so the height is very much needed. Later, I discovered that it was necessary to help connect some stages of the ship. What struck me as peculiar about the landing gear was how high up they are located. What Is Built: The landing gear for the ship, as well as two hinged platforms.LEGO STAR WARS UCS MILLENNIUM FALCON – BAG #2 So, the set paces itself well in how it continues to amaze the builder. However, the extra shaping that is added to the outside of this frame later on drastically increases the overall size at later stages. Another thing that struck me after completing the model is that, at the time of building the initial stages, I was marveling at the size of the ship based on the rough frame everything was going to be mounted to. It was like watching a chess master think fifty moves ahead. It was also interesting to see all the open connections that were left for parts of the model that come later on. I’ve never seen a LEGO model so massive that it was necessary to do this to handle so much weight. The interesting part of this phase is that while putting together the framework, you have to essentially double all the layers. What Is Built: Inner structure of the ship, front middle to the back of the ship.Build Time: 149 minutes (2 hours, 29 minutes).LEGO STAR WARS UCS MILLENNIUM FALCON – BAG #1 Keep in mind, the time stated is pure building time and does not include any sorting you might want to do. To make this overview easier, I’ll break down and talk about each bagged stage, along with the approximate building time, what was built, and any comments I think are worth mentioning about the step. Mixed between all four boxes are 17 sets of numbered bags, as well as 4 unnumbered bags. Based on the artwork on the inner boxes, I was hoping that the set would be pre-sorted in a logical way in between the boxes, so you don’t have to open all of them at the same time.

Inside the outer box, there are four nicely designed inner boxes, and a large tray that holds the manual and the stickers. Technically, Chewbacca can serve as both old and new crew, as he hasn’t changed all that much.Īs you probably know already from our previous discussions, the #75192 LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon comes in a humongous box, which is super exciting in itself. Young Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO represent the old crew, while Finn, Rey, old Han Solo, BB-8, and a couple of Porgs are from the new films.
And, you also get both the old and the new crew. This is symbolized in the set by a different radar dish for the old and new version of the ship, and a few other minor modifications.
In the original Star Wars films, the Falcon plays a major role, and it also returns in the latest movies – albeit aged and somewhat modified. However consider that besides the significantly greater number of pieces, the new set is also technically a two-in-one model representing two versions of the ship. The larger piece count also means a higher price tag the original set sold for $500 and was lowered to $400 near the end of its run, while the new set is $800. The new Falcon is the same size as the original, however, it comes with roughly 2,300 more pieces – all going into adding even more details to an already elaborate model. And now, thanks to the LEGO Group and Disney listening to fans, we finally got an updated version in the form of the #75192 LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon. It was the largest LEGO set in its time and a wonderful representation of the iconic ship from the Star Wars universe.

It’s been ten years since the #10179 LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series (UCS) Millennium Falcon was released, and LEGO fans have been hoping for a re-release ever since the set was retired.
