Whilst it remains the joint-most expensive set still today, it continues to sell consistently well for the LEGO Group. UCS 75192 Millennium Falcon was the most expensive LEGO set ever released when it came out in 2017, but that didn’t stop it selling out on day of release and on every instance it popped into LEGO stores during the first few months. The designs all add a level of authenticity to the LEGO set and cleverly so across two different eras. There also comes BB-8 and what was at the time the first appearance of the minifigure-scale Porgs and a buildable Mynock. There are seven minifigures included with UCS 75192 Millennium Falcon, capturing four characters from the original trilogy in Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and C-3PO, and three from the sequel trilogy in Rey, Finn and older Han Solo. We reviewed it last year, and highly recommend a display solution like this. Note – the clear plastic display stand we are using in the images is a third party product by iDisplayit. Taking in 75192 Millennium Falcon in all its might is quite something, but there’s plenty to also explore as your eyes move across the model’s various panels and changes of direction. Indeed, that’s where the size of the model has been embraced and explored in such great lengths – the 7,541 pieces have come together to create this amazing final masterpiece, but, through the construction of numerous sections and sub-sections each as detailed and complex as any other single LEGO set. The cockpit and the exterior of the tube-like corridor, though, serve as just one example of many across the model, that demonstrate just how such unusual shaping has been skilfully recreated in LEGO bricks. You can also see where perhaps the design team’s budget was cut short, as there’s a large, empty area inside towards the back that has more than a hint of creative potential for anyone looking to add even further authenticity and play to the ship.įour minifigures can fit within the elegantly built cockpit, designed so as to perfectly capture one of the Falcon’s most notable features. Key areas familiar to Star Wars fans across the original trilogy and sequel trilogy are captured within a select few sections of the model’s interior, offering further display potential and – importantly where its size otherwise prohibits this – potential for play. There are many areas where 75192 Millennium Falcon compares highly favourably to its UCS predecessor from 2007, 10179 Millennium Falcon, but the most notable is in the interior, inasmuch as there is one. Each section that you put together takes a long time, certainly, but you work through it knowing that the next section will look and feel very different to the previous one.Īs mentioned, there are some loose panels across the top half of the ship, in part to achieve the unique slopes and contours of the Millennium Falcon and in part to allow for access inside. That’s thanks to the unique structure of the Falcon – there’s very little about its asymmetrical design that needs to be done multiple times. However you approach the task, importantly, it’s a building experience that does not grind at any stage, in spite of a predominantly grey colour scheme. If released today, the LEGO Group would talk to you about the ‘opportunities’ such a build has to be enjoyed over several days, or with a group of friends. The build process is – as all those many, many time-lapse videos on YouTube that went around at the end of 2017 demonstrated – fascinating, varied and immensely time-consuming. Whilst this amazing size has downsides too – it looks and really is unplayable as a ship to swoosh around, due to its weight and a design that includes some loose panels across the top – for how much detail and wonder is caught across such scale, it’s a constant marvel when sat on display. There’s nothing that the LEGO Star Wars team or indeed wider LEGO Group has really produced that visually compares to 75192. The scale of the final model creates a wow factor both instant and long-lasting. Any of the seven minifigures included with the set are absolutely dwarfed by its imposing length, height and breadth, and the continued posts online of people turning their Falcons into coffee tables aren’t for nothing – this is the size of a coffee table and then some, and finding space for it is an exercise in itself. The LEGO Group’s largest ever at the time of its release (right up until something rumoured to surpass it arrives in November 2020), 7,541 pieces goes a long way in a LEGO set, particularly when built at minifigure scale. Price: £649.99 / $799.99 / €799.99 Pieces: 7,541 Minifigures: 7Ī great deal of UCS 75192 Millennium Falcon’s appeal comes in its ridiculous piece-count and what that comes together to create.
