2bricks Custom LEGO Ultimate Hunk O' Junk OUT NOW! Handling tips, light installation and more!

[@LaNombre]

This is basically what the UCS set SHOULD've been. By FAR the best Millenium Falcon ever!

[@2bricks]

Thank you so much!!! Its kinda wild that the parts on the secondhand marked cost less than the UCS huh? lol, we really should have gotten a full interior for $850, cmon lego!

[@daanvanderleest7171]

I can't say enough positive things about this model! You've done such an incredible job recreating one of the most iconic space ships ever. I love how much detailed you've managed to pack into this model while keeping it a sturdy build. I envy your Lego designing skills and I can't wait to see what the future holds for this channel. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays and an amazing new years!

[@2bricks]

Thank you Daan and thank you for your endearing support, I’m looking forward to 2024 so so much!! It’s going to be amazing

[@caduhoffmann]

Man this is fantastic, I feel ashamed for the original LEGO UCS after seeing yours, congrats!!! Honestly best SW MOC ever

[@danielstorm281]

I only discovered your vids today. I am absolutely building this ship! Best brick falcon I’ve ever seen, by far. Perfect size for display and fun!!!! Thank you for designing this! 🥳✨✨✨

[@2bricks]

Yay!! Welcome and thanks for the support!!!

[@brettlambert703]

I fell in love with this thing the moment I saw it and it's been a test in patience waiting for the instructions but it looks well worth the wait! Just purchased the instructions..may the force be with you 2 Bricks!

[@2bricks]

Thank you so much!!! I’m never going to have such a delay as this again, if I can help it. I appreciate your patience and support!

[@simonm.1122]

Congratulations! This is amazing. Can’t imagine how challenging this was. Worth the wait. Cheers!

[@2bricks]

Thank you!!!!

[@craftingfunfun7387]

Yesssss! What a great Christmas present! This is the BEST Millennium Falcon out there ❤ Thanks 2bricks and Merry Christmas!

[@2bricks]

Thank you so much and happy holidays to you and yours as well!!!!

[@willtheeditor]

A great sweet spot scale and as usual you have packed out the features while remaining as accurate as possible with the layout. UCS is a flawed set as what is the Falcon without an interior, Marshall Banana's is truely amazing but just impossible to fit in the house! This is a fabulous solution, definately have a space saved for it next to your Marauder. The only request would be if you might design the forward escape pod? Bigfoot on Rebrickable did one, way back, for the UCS set and it was such a nice addition.

[@ArcherJLady]

I like how this video is especially an owners manual for the kit, that's awesome! I'm seriously considering building this as I feel it's as close to a true "minifig scale" Falcon as we're gonna get

[@jetteriter4351]

Is the UCS Falcon not minifig scale?

[@ArcherJLady]

@@jetteriter4351 It's approximately minifig width scale, I prefer minifig height scale

[@jetteriter4351]

@@ArcherJLady Really, I've never heard of width/height scale, what are some example sets of each? I've always been told that the UCS Flacon, Slave I, and Imperial Shuttle are minifig scale

[@ArcherJLady]

@@jetteriter4351 Basically, a minifig is wider than it should be for its height, so if you scale something based on minifig width, it'll be bigger than if you scaled based on height. Brickvault, for example, scales stuff based on minifig width, which is why their stuff runs a bit big. To get a bit more mathy, a lego minifig is 4 cm tall. The average person is about 170 cm tall, so minifig height scale is about 1/42 scale. An X-wing in this scale would be 32 cm long, but Brickvault's is 38 cm. On the topic of the Falcon though, I just double checked and actually you are correct! the Falcon is 34.75 meters, or 3,475 cm, which at 1/42 scale would be 83 cm. The UCS Falcon is 83 cm. So this is actually a bit underscaled then (I still don't mind, it's a gorgeous moc).

[@2bricks]

Thanks very much! Yeah the lego UCS one always felt kinda gigantic to me, though minifig scale is a kind of subjective thing.

[@ledekou1983]

*WOW*, what a nice Christmas present from 2bricks!

[@2bricks]

yayyyy! so glad I was finally able to share the design with you all!!!

[@leonjohnson4293]

As usuall this model is excellent. So many play features. I love it

[@2bricks]

Thank you so much!!!

[@CoreFlux]

I gotta get my back healed so I can start filming the Ghost build and then have empty boxes again to collect this one. Congrats on the release! It looks so gorgeous and there's even one play feature that seems new to me. ❤

[@khikaris]

Was lucky to get this masterwork of MOC on rebrickable before it moved to brickvault. Wow, just wow, amazing work! Was wondering what black parts on top right panel stands for? (the one you holding on 20:17) Don't remember seeing it on og falcon. Also IRC greebling area on that panel should be bigger. But thats just some small nitpicking, that's the best falcon you can currently build.

[@ColossusCounsel]

amazing intro + this set is the best millennium falcon!

[@2bricks]

Thank you!!!!!

[@fotbollen2001]

You are absolutely brilliant! I am SO amazed!

[@2bricks]

[@kcrain81]

Merry Christmas! Great video, great model, and congrats on finally getting it out there!

[@2bricks]

Thank you K!! It's been a marathon 😪

[@darth_zounds]

Honestly, the only nitpick I have is regarding the circular vents on the back. On this model, they're basically tires / wheels, which looks off to me. I'm thinking I *might* rebuild the vents from the UCS model and put them on this model, for a borderline chibi look. Hm. Maybe I could even just use the 2 x 2 vent piece from the midi-scale model.

[@fractalelf7760]

While there is no matching this set, the playscale set by Baufman Bricks is a very cost effective alternative.

[@2bricks]

I’ll have to give it a look!

[@fractalelf7760]

@@2bricks Again, your stuff is fantastic, I am (very slowly) building the Fondor Haulcraft and it’s a work of art!

I’ve waited so long for this. Just checked on rebrickable, I’ve already got 99% of the parts needed somewhere hidden in my collection, I’ll just need to find out where

[@carsonphillips8008]

Almost forgot to say how great this set looks! The wait was definitely worth it!

[@2bricks]

Thank you!!! I’m so happy to hear you have the bulk of the parts, that’s amazing!!

[@nicolasfournel377]

@2bricks this looks amazing! Sorry if the question has already be asked but can you say which size is this? I am hesitating between this one and the playable scale one (which should be broadly 32x44cm). Have you also an idea of the weight of this best? Fantastic work anyway so much dedication and love on this moc I see.

[@spacemanmort]

@nicolasfournel377 I've built both 2bricks falcons, they are both really good. I'll measure and weigh them after work if nobody else has given you the info by then.

[@nicolasfournel377]

@@spacemanmort That's would be much appreciated.

[@GeFuryy]

This model is amazing, great work putting this together! I'm curious if this model has the ability to add a stand for an 'action' pose (flying through the air i.e. vertical stand).

[@2bricks]

I am working on a stand! and thank you!!

[@2bricks]

Sorry about that! yeah they should be out by the end of the month!

[@FLYxxBOY]

​@@2bricksthey are just selling them, not altering them correct? Some of their models are fragile and I'd hate for them to ruin this solid build.

[@lock_]

It would be really interesting to see some comparison images with the official one (even simulated, if you don’t have the Lego version). :)

[@2bricks]

hmm that would be very cool, you're right. I wonder if I could make it happen somehow without spending *all the money* haha.

[@lock_]

@@2bricksI could have somewhere (not sure if in one file, LDD wasn’t able to manage the whole model without crashes and freezes) the digital file of the Lego one, so maybe you could do a digital comparison. Can’t remember if I’ve made myself (I’m crazy enough) or found it online. But I can search it for you. :) For the moment thanks for these beautiful videos and have a wonderful Christmas. :)

[@swdean]

Will the parts list include the extra plates to keep the landing gear in place?

[@2bricks]

yes! I thought it best to include those since the falcon will mainly be resting on its legs for most people for quite some time, until such time as I make a stand :)

[@swdean]

@@2bricks oh ok can't wait for the stand

@@DarthZounds thanks for the question! According to Brick Vault it’s in the 420-450 usd range, though I’d say depending on how lucky or unlucky you get you can extend the range from 400-500 usd

@@2bricks Thank you for the estimate! I'm dying to build this thing.
