Fun Fact: This Falcon is not based on any version seen the films. So there were two main filming models in the OT. A 5 foot model and a 32 inch model. They are quite different from each other And for a few added shots for the Special Editions a CGI model was made based mainly of the 32 inch model with a few details from the 5 foot model. There's an additional version of this CGI model that was not used in the film that used in promo photos and was used in many of the refrence book instead. It's version that LEGO used based this on. It has one big detail that does not exsit on any other versions. And that is that dark grey swath on the left mandible. That's why there is those extra bits for the mandibles. The Sequel Falcon is based on the 5 foot model, so those extra bits are replicating look of the 5 foot model. Since that Specail Edition Falcon was largely based on the 32 inch model, particularly the front.

I have seen this model at my local Lego Store and it is stunning. What is interesting is it is the same size as the smaller shooting model ILM made for “Empire Strikes Back”. And you’re right, the detail is fabulous. In terms of the Millennium Falcon proper, I understand what you are saying but you must agree it is iconic. For me, my favourite Star Wars ships are, in order: Blockade Runner (what was the “original” Millennium Falcon); Y-Wing; and Millennium Falcon. Have fun taking it apart.

It truly is an amazing set. As a word of warning, the mandibles do sag a little bit. But it's due to plates loosening, as a result of weight, not the bars bending. So, I just pop the front-mid section off, and press the plates back into place, and squeeze the mandibles, every so often. I have it displayed on all feet - parallel to the table - for reference.

I dismantled my Star Destroyer because I needed the room but I was never that pleased with it as the Millennium Falcon which I will never take apart because it looks so much better and the build experience was far more interesting. Keep the Millennium Falcon. We can see in your face how much you love it and how much it would pain you to dismantle it.

06:06 I agree Jang, I’m a big Star Wars fan…..but I have never understood why people love the falcon so much. It’s not the nicest of ships design wise plus it’s basically a big lorry. I mean that what it essentially functions as within the SW universe, it’s for hauling cargo illegal or otherwise from one place to another with room for the crew to sleep. The best Star Wars vehicle IMHO? The B wing, with the Slave 1 being a close second. They’re ships that are interesting and actually make a lot of sense spaceship design wise what with sections of each ship moving relative to the rest of the ship, I mean there is no up or down in space so why limit a ship to that idea? That said I have now got the UCS falcon just because it’s easier and cheaper than finding a UCS B Wing….

Unless you have a huge amount of floor space, no kids or pets, and a sufficiently glorious coffee table to dedicate to this, I think anyone buying it should budget an extra $50-$80 for an Efferman stand parted out on Bricklink. Unlike the Gunship or the Star Destroyer, this UCS set is so flat that it CAN be displayed at near-vertical on top of a short bookshelf up against a wall. It not only takes up less space, but actually showcases more of the ship at a more eye-friendly angle.

I got mine for 600 € when Smith Toys had a discount on Lego SW sets, which is absolutely fair for this massive set. Was a blast to build and i do not regret getting it.

To be honest I think this set is overrated. For $850 it really needs more of an interior and a better minifigure selection. They should discontinue this one and update it with a large interior and better minifigures. Minifigures (New Hope): Luke, Ben Kenobi, R2, C-3PO, Han Solo (New Hope with Duel Molded legs and side printing), Chewbacca. Minifigures (Empire Strikes Back): Han Solo, Leia Minifigures (Return of the Jedi): Lando, Nien Num

Hi Jang, I believe the design of the Falcon was going to be the model of the Tantive IV originally but Lucas thought it looked too much like another ship seen in a UK Gerry Anderson show Space 1999. However during a production meeting lunch Lucas and a friend of his were in a cafe and the friend had ordered a hamburger with pickles. Long story short his friend took a bite out of the burger then put it back on the plate causing a pickle to roll over next to it. The resulting shape caught Lucas' eye and he saw the outline for the Falcon! Good job LEGO designers don't create their designs this way. Congrats on a fantastic ship.

The (mostly) vertical stands you can buy for this are totally worth it IMO. I have mine sitting next to my monitor on my computer desk. It's not an especially large desk either. The mandibles stick out some, but with no kids or pets in that room I'm not worried about it. If you plan to go that route, it's a good idea to get the stand with the Falcon. Attaching the stand to the completed model is tricky. Attaching it when it's like half built, before you start putting the upper panels on, super easy. The stand tips it up at a pretty steep angle, and a lot of the upper body panels are held on by gravity, but I have not had any of them fall off. I don't think a 100% vertical wall mount would work though, unless you modified the mounting system for the panels to be more secure.

It’s better because it’s the Millennium Falcon. There were so many scenes shot in the ship throughout the last six movies that it’s almost as we’ve all flown in it. There’s a great deal of nostalgia with this ship (especially in the original trilogy) even though it’s kind of like an old station wagon, but it’s so cool.
